    Don't, just dont
    With taxes, paid almost $4k for a laptop that is gaming ready and the screen has a shadow. I've had to contact Asus 5 times, and everytime they have me do the same activities: Bios update, install the driver, system restore, and what do you know the shadow is always there. So no I have a $4K paper weight that is beyond the return window cause Asus support sucks. So just don't.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Crushes anything I throw at it, not a fan of windows 11 but that can be remedied. The main thing is that it has a much better cooling system than previous ROG laptops. Some of the previous models would get so hot that it would burn you if you left it on your lap for too long. This one has a much better fan system that will even out the heat then run quiet. The display is the best I’ve ever seen on a laptop, better than most desktop displays. If you can find one, buy it. I got this for a little over 2K and I’m sure it will be even cheaper once the 4 series comes around.

    This is the best laptop I have ever owned, and worth every penny. It's truly able to run even new games at top settings with full raytracing, for example Cyberpunk 2077 in ultra ray tracing overdrive mode. I look forward to seeing new games in all their glory in the future!

    This laptop isn't good on battery life, but is a great desktop replacement that you can take on the go if you need to. The 16GB of vram is
    also great for video editing if that's something you need it for, not to mention the incredibly fast raid 0 gen 4 ssds it has.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Died after 2 weeks…no help from Amazon
    Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022
    Style: 17.3” RTX 3080TiVerified Purchase
    The media could not be loaded.
     Its been 2 weeks since Amazon confirmed receipt of the faulty product and STILL I havent received the refund. Meanwhile my credit card payment is due and I have to pony up the $3600 first. I have been on support chat three times and they said someone will get back to me because the refund amount is high but they never did. Buying this laptop has wasted so much of my time and that can never be refunded.

    ORGINAL REVIEW
    It was ok for 2 weeks then the screen didn’t turn on. There was no Asus logo on boot up. I tried troubleshooting but nothing worked. Very disappointing quality control for a $3600 laptop. There is warranty etc but it’s a hassle. ASUS dropped the ball. Also I was overseas when this happened and Amazon refused to provide me with an RMA address. They said I had to provide a US pickup address but I am not in the USA for the next few weeks and then the return would have expired! The whole point of a laptop is to go traveling with it. Now I need to spend $300 sending by courier back to the USA for a RMA. Thanks Amazon!

    Update: Amazon High Value Refund Policy

    I returned the defective laptop to Amazon, they recieved it on the 30th of August. A week later and considerable digging I discover that high value refunds require a 30 day waiting period from time of recieving the item back at their warehouse to your refund being processed.

    I purchased the laptop on the August 17th, recieved it on the 24th, returned it on the 30th and am now waiting until October 1st to recieve my nearly $4000 dollars back from Amazon.
    6 weeks total.
    This is absolutely rediculous. I cannot buy a different laptop with my own money, because it's being held, for no reason.

    Customer support has been absolutely ineffective.
    They have lied to me outright, telling me they would process my refund, and I'd see it a week later. Then telling me it never processed and I need to wait the 30 days.

    Bottom line: I will NEVER buy anything over $300 from Amazon ever again. $300 is the arbitrary trigger price for high value items.

    Original review -
    Unboxed the laptop, powered it on, screen completely black. After some basic troubleshooting we hooked up a secondary display via the HDMI port. The unit powers up and functions, but the screen does not work.

    Downloaded new drivers as recommended, still dead.
    Followed ASUS online troubleshooting guide, still dead.
    Walked through possible solutions with ASUS tech support, still dead.

    To say that I'm terribly disappointed is an understatement.
    This is the premiere flagship in the 2022 ROG lineup, the Special Edition. I would expect the build quality to be equal to the price point.
    In the end it's essentially a tricked out brick.

    I'm requesting a refund, and reconsidering purchasing a replacement.

    The laptop is beautiful great graphics. The problem is the speakers at 100 max volume are not loud. I have to buy external speakers for this thing my iPhone 11 speakers are louder.

    Power brick died after 6 days. Luckily there is a global replacement policy and I had it replaced in Bangkok. Remember to register your product with ASUS as when you open it.

    This is a very well specked laptop, one of the best on the market especially at the discounted sale price. Screen is beautiful, games run super smooth. Just grab it when you see it in stock because this laptop sells out fast.

    This device is so powerful that I have to remind myself I can take it with me anywhere unlike a full tower. If you are looking for a true desktop replacement with no compromise performance, this is it! The 18-inch display is simply gorgeous.
