ASUS ROG Strix G17 (2021) Gaming Laptop, 17.3” 300Hz IPS Type FHD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 16GB DDR4, 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD, RGB Keyboard, Windows 10, G713QR-ES96

I don't often take the time to write reviews but I felt this product deserved it. Firstly, while yes, this laptop is American and not UK, I don't feel this is a big deal. It was so easy to simply change the language setting from start-up to English (UK). Unless you need to look at every key you type, it shouldn't be a reason not to get this laptop. The box did arrive a bit worse for wear. It came in an exterior brown box which at least absorbed some of the impact. Having said that, the box isn't the important part, and it served its purpose of protecting the contents inside. The laptop was in perfect condition. I've had this laptop nearly 2 weeks now, and what with being busy with various life things, I haven't had chance to fully experience what it has to offer. What I will say though, is there was a game I stopped playing over a year ago due to my very old laptop just not being able to keep up with it. Even on the lowest settings it just lagged too much. I went back to it on this laptop and I couldn't believe how well it worked! It was no problem at all for this machine. The Link to MyAsus was a thing I never knew I needed. Just for this review, I was able to effortlessly take pictures on my phone and have them on my laptop without having to deal with plugging cables in, or sending files over email. just a simple link from a mobile app to a laptop and it was done. Also, I feel it solves the problem of this laptop having no webcam, as you can use your phones camera. Finally, this is just a beautiful laptop, I've never had one this nice before. I'm glad I listened to the amazing reviews this got and bought it. And if you decide to buy it too, you won't be disappointed!

Unbelievable laptop I love it

The laptop looks and feels great, So it would be unfair of me to give a low rating. The asus box was damaged on arrival. The next point bothers me the most. This is Amazon uk so I was rather disappointed when I opened the laptop to see that is was a us keyboard layout but there is nothing mentioned in the description. I know the pics show a us keyboard layout but even uk shops show the same pics but you get a uk keyboard layout. I’m so happy I didn’t pay for fast delivery cause the laptop is now being returned.

During windwons updatesthe laptop restarted andnow i have black screen i cant do anyting i try hard reset instaling and formating nothing work black screen. so basakly i have 1.800 pounds brick.

I bought this back in 2021 for £2000'ish. Died on me 4 days ago. I've had several issues with it. It would randomly stutter around once a day for 3 seconds, destroying it's fps. That would happen regardless of what I was doing on it, be it gaming, watching videos or being idle on desktop. It also kept freezing randomly whether it was idle or in use, leaving you only with the option to force shutdown. Later the issue also spread to it's bootup, which eventually lead to it freezing 90% of the time I tried to boot it up. I tried to nuke it, but it kept freezing during windows installation aswell. However, the couple of years I've had it, it's been a powerhouse. It destroyed any game on ultra settings with minimal heat in it's early years. To be honest, for it's current going price I'd look for another machine. Grab it if it's on sale for less than £2000. It's specs are outdated by today's standards for it's asking price.

Please, don't make my mistake. I know it's tempting to ignore reviews like this. Asus RMA procedures are basically scams. My laptop was defective, screen went gray and then turned off. I sent it for repair. Thought it'd be simple fix. No. They said the LCD connection (Internal connection) was damaged by customer induced force. They are currently trying to charge me the price of the laptop again to get it fixed and sent back to me. -theres no way for me to have done the damage. It's clearly a faulty connection. But they don't listen. I've explained it several times by email and they respond with the same thing. Saying the LCD connection is damaged by customer. They include a picture on the RMA page and there doesn't appear to be any physically visable damage on the connection they're talking about. -Clearly just faulty. But hey, they're a big company and if they can get away with charging you twice for an expensive laptop they'll do it. Please, I used to recommend Asus to people. Don't do it. It's not worth it. Other gaming companies have much better, honest customer support. Don't do this to yourself.

Es un equipazo, de eso no cabe duda. Obviamente comercializarla con 32GB de RAM en lugar de 16 hubiera sido mucho mejor. De cualquier forma... Pros: La pantalla es genial, nitiza, buen color, hasta para diseño se puede usar. La RAM es poca pero basta y es rapida. El teclado es un sueño, configuracion reactiva tecla por tecla con patrones y duracion... si te gusta el RGB, este teclado es de otro mundo. Tambien es comodo para escribir mucho (soy programador). La bateria dura hasta 6 horas con todo y el teclado encendido!!!!!!!!!!! obvio no jugando, en un perfil equilibrado, pero es mucho tiempo para un equipo de estos y me parecio genial, ademas de que se carga muy rapido... 50 - 70 min. Silenciosa aun en modo degenerado. La RTX3070 es de ensueño, nunca habia podido correr un juego day one en ultra a mas de 60fps. Probado con el Forza 5 (no se, el que es de Mexico) y en baja da hasta 400fps y aun asi se ve genial y en ultra da de 60 a 70... Doom Eternal en modo degenerado da los 60 estables y hasta el marauder sale bailando, ahora si no te pierdes de nada de accion, ah y en modo ray tracing. El sonido es muy bueno, tiene el mejor volumen de las laptop que he tenido (MSI Apache, Alienware M15 y Asus G17 (2015 creo). Cons: No he notado ninguna diferencia entre el Ryzen 9 y el i7 que tenia antes. Ni en mi scripts de hashing, ni en compilacion de codigo, ni en multithreading. Practicamente tengo el mismo CPU. 16 de RAM es un insulto para este equipo. Conectar y desconectar el cargador provoca que se cambie el perfil de rendimiento (es configurable) pero el problema es que la pantalla parpadea hasta 3 veces y es molesto aunque no realmente un problema. El pad tactil se atonta de vez en cuando y no hace clic... no estoy seguro que sea una falla de hardware. En el borde de la pantalla tiene un filo de un marco que si llega a topar con algo se me hace que lo dobla facil... es complicado de explicar pero hay que tratarla con cuidado. No tiene camara. El wifi es malo, muuuuuuuy malo. Tengo un Meraki MX67W, sin problemas en alguno de los otros equipos y este derrepente se desconecta. Tambien lo probé con un MX100 y con un Mesh Deco de TP Link. En general es un buen equipo, lo volveria a comprar y si los problemas persisten... un reset y vemos como va. De entrada, recomendado. UPDATE Le puse 32GB de RAM Crucial de 3200Mhz y un Kingston SSD NV1 2000GB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0... resultó en la mejor laptop que he tenido. Ya jubilé mi equipo de escritorio y la uso para todo. Lo unico que no puedo hacer es conectar el Oculus Quest 2 a esta laptop porque bajo ninguna configuracion agarra la RTX. Ni por OculusLink ni por AirLink. Pero no me importa, el equipo funciona genial.

Good Gaming Laptop. This is currently the sweet spot in terms of Price / Performance. Ryzen 5900HX with Nvidia RTX 3070 (up to 130 Watts which gives close to a stock mobile RTX 3080 performance). Comes with 1TB Samsung no room for 2.5 HDD but there is a second SSD slot for upgrades which is good. 300Hz screen is one of the highest refresh rate screens on a laptop this gives a boost to games. Runs Windows really fast and is upgradeable to Win 11. Good support for Drivers etc from Asus. I am receiving a warranty extension from ASUS for feedback - I bought this laptop via the Asus Amazon store.

Can't complain about anything so far, it's been 7 months and played all games without anybissue, laptop looks cool, keyboard is nice, screen is very nice, recommended

Muy buen equipo y estilo corre muy bien, lo unico malo es de que la entrega tardo mas de un mes y el teclado es estilo americano (no tiene letra ñ)

I am not a gamer. I bought this laptop to do small sample size deep learning training for transformer language models. I use cloud GPU and TPU for the main training with full sample size. But I really wanted to have something locally to run fine tuning and debugging with smaller sample sizes. I was OK just using the cloud for image deep learning, but language models get truly huge! I haven’t trained anything yet, but I’m really excited to test it out. NVIDIA RTX 3070 or 3070 Ti seems to be the sweet spot for a reasonable cost vs performance in June 2022. I also though about a desktop, but got tired of waiting for GPU prices for desktops to come down. One thing I was concerned about was the screen being FHD and not QHD and brightness only 300 nits. But the quality is excellent anyway and colors pop for Netflix and video watching. Pixels can be seen, but images are still very smooth. QHD will be better, but it cost $600 more for a similar laptop. Fan noise, heat, were pleasant surprise when running office type tasks. CPU temp was 50 C, body was luke warm, and fan was silent. Track pad is very smooth. Keys are springy and comfortable and not too loud. Audio is excellent too. Speakers are good quality on music and very loud. Headphone jack output is of high quality and can drive all of your best music. Blue tooth headphone paired easily and sounds OK. Not as good as plugged-in using high quality headset, obviously, but same as usual. This will also make a good media watching device since the screen quality and audio is so nice. Note, there is NO videocam. Can’t do video calling without a plug-in video camera. I already have a USB video cam, but just a reminder. There is a built-in microphone for voice commands, dictation, Cortana. It seems to be a good quality. It pickec up my voice no problem and sounded clear. Update: I trained 200 epoch transformer language model, text generation task (Francois Cholet, 2nd ed, chapter 12 part 1). It took half the time per epoch as free tier Google Colab GPU. I thought it will be slower, maybe take 50-100% longer per epoch. Was pleasantly surprised. Now I can run all Colab free tier GPU/TPU training on my laptop locally, which is much easier than moving large data and model files around. Also I hate editing Jupyter notebook directly on Colab, which can seriously lag when a lot of people are using their services. CPU temps are 85C and GPU temps are 75C during training. I lifted that back up by 2" to help with air flow. I can use manual mode to up the fan to 100% and I can keep it 5% coller during heavy training on GPU/CPU. For light tasks, CPU is 65C and GPU os 0. Fan speed "Windows" seem to keep things quiet and cool at the same time for light tasks.
