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.
