ASUSTUF 16" Ryzen 7 Ultimate Gaming Laptop, 16" FHD+ 165Hz, AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, AMD Radeon RX 7700S (Beats GeForce RTX 4060), 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD, RGB Backlit KB, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 11 Home, Black

Change the SSD if you can. It ships with WD green that has no dram. Its supposed to be a gaming computer so, it would be great if a real sad and ram were in there. Its kind of a budget set up so, other than that pretty damn good. RX 7700 paired 8 gb vram with ryzen 7735hs, 32 gb ram and (though I complained) 2 tb ssd. You will see improvements by upgrading the SSD. I think the RAM upgrade matters as well. RX7700 with 8 gb is no slouch and is better than my RTX 4059 with the same specs except nvidia gives 6 gb of cram. Upscaling works really good on both.

Let me tell you about the nightmare that is my experience with this product. Originally bought it as a backup to game on when travelling or needing to go mobile. After trading my desktop PC, this laptop became my sole go-to entertainment center, and boy, did I wish I hadn't ever done that. Dealt with some initial hang ups, complete lockups/freezes that would require me to hard boot the machine by holding down the power button. Eventually, got to a point where it would reliably stop working on me even after just barely starting a game or movie.Contacted ASUS support who had me go through the whole factory reset, wipe, start over. Followed all of their instructions and got to the point where they had me pay them to ship their malfunctioning product back to them. Weeks go by, get a message back that its been repaired, that they found the issue, resolved it, and then shipped the laptop back to me. Within approximately two weeks of having the laptop, the original issues return as if nothing had been fixed, so, reach back out to ASUS support who has me send the product back in.This time they tell me certain malfunctioning parts are out of warranty and I have to go out of pocket to replace them, or else they'll just basically send it back to me as-is. I agree, pay to replace the out of warranty parts and approve the covered parts to be replaced to. Finally get back the product again after a few weeks from the moment the problem started occuring to when I got it shipped back to my door.I go through the painful process of setting it back up for basically the 5th time, only to discover the SSD I paid to replace isn't the 4TB that I purchased when I bought this model but now its barely over 500GBs, or an eighth of the size of my original hard drive. I have spent so much time downloading and reinstalling software, applications, and games that I've had to upgrade my internet plan to unlimited otherwise I'd be paying $100s of dollars in overages. Now I'm at the point where I have to reach back out to ASUS and asked why they replaced my 4TB hard drive with a 500GB without asking or notifying me that was what they were doing, as nowhere in their communications with me was it indicated that they would be replacing my OEM 4TB SSD with a 500GB SSD.I'll be lucky if I get this laptop back to the way I had purchased it and am questioning what else they might have swapped out with lesser quality parts. Nightmare experience. I will never be purchasing an ASUS product again.Edit: Just checked; they swapped out my 64 GBs of RAM to 16 GBs of RAM, all again without communicating. The nightmare continues.

So performance is pretty good. It's hard to really compare but I also have an ayaneo slide handhelp using just a R7 apu, z1 extreme ally using about the same apu, and a desktop with a 13th gen i7 and 7900xtx dedicated and I play the same games on all of them. Everything looks good on the screen and I don't have any serious frame drops running fortnite on default settings and mass effect as high as I can set it. Just zone in settings and balance performance to quality for what you want. Battery is as bad as any gaming laptop, plan on maybe an hour on battery. Feels durable and looks nice, I picked mine up "used" so I got a great price but it looks brand new. Size is nice, just not really a fan of the camera on the top, a little awkward and annoying.***SO, the issue. There is a setting- both in the ROG app and the AMD app, that lets it smart switch from APU to GPU based on use. Garbage. Annoying, game crashing, computer locking up garbage. Mass effect 3 will go into a cut scene, the laptop will see the super low usage and switch to the APU, and when it goes back to the game from a cut scene the computer will have a stroke and either lock up completely or crash the game.

Plays games mostly on high. Can't beat 32gb ram and 2tb hard drive. I bought this originally for like $1100 new. I went back to PC.

This laptop is great for the money. I really enjoy it. It plays my games at a great speed and doesn't lag at all. I will say that the laptop DOES NOT have a rgb backlit keyboard. The keyboard is backlit in white and that's the only color it goes. But other than that its a great laptop for the money with plenty of on board storage.

Do not waste your money.Literally 2 days after the one-month return period, the GPU suddenly stopped automatically switching between the gaming mode and regular mode. My son's games no longer function properly. The frames per second numbers dropped to 25% of what they were originally. Some of his apps won't even open.I have been dealing with ASUS customer support for over a month now, and am no closer to a resolution. They couldn't help over the phone, so they told me to email their customer support. I have gone back and forth with them for a month now. They keep asking us to do the same thing we have already done. We sent videos of the issue in, and they just keep asking us to try this and that, but offering no practical next steps of addressing the malfunction.We paid almost $1,000 for this gaming laptop and got the equivalent of a $400 non-gaming laptop. Total waste of money.

It's been 4 months and I love it, it has some quirks but nothing bad, I do have to say the battery is great for non gaming but when you play a higher end game like Satisfactory it goes down fast, and the bottom gets real hot.I would give it 8.5 out of 10

Is really easy to understand and use it,even for a person that doesn't have too much knowledge of computer. It has amazing speed,big memory for ram and rom . Is build light and strong . The mouse is really sensitive so it is super fast to do anything in it .
