I’m doing a VA program called VRE where the VA pays for my school and school equipment to assist in finding a new career if my current one aggravates my VA claimed disabilities. I am finishing up my Bachelor’s in computer science and since I don’t have a laptop to take to work with me, the VA asked me to send them what specs my college recommends. A week later I get this absolute monster of a laptop. Intel Ultra 9275HX with a 5070Ti. It’s more powerful than my built gaming pc at home 😂

So after my Asus Vivobook of 7+ years finally broke down my mom gave me this laptop as an advance birthday present.

Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) G615. RTX 5050 Intel i7-14650HX (2.20GHz) 32GB RAM 2x1TB SSD.

This is my first ever gaming laptop and I’m so happy. any tips on how to better take care of this?

This costed her around 1650 USD-ish? (taxes included).

I've been using it like this for a long time, especially when playing FPS games like CS, and it works pretty well. I can't afford a new monitor right now, so this setup is kind of a necessity for me.

However, when I shared this on the Turkey subreddit, I got heavily criticized. People said it was abnormal, even though I've been using it this way for 4–5 months without any issues. Some warned that liquid metal might leak, but I'm using PTM7950 anyway.

What do you think? Is it really that bad to use it like this?"

EDIT: i am grateful of this laptop, not ungrateful. Please keep that in mind before commenting hate. Some people got it wrong.

I genuinely don’t think i could be happier, since i never thought id get such a powerful laptop. Big upgrade from my legion 5 pro rtx 4070.

Honest review after 2 weeks, id say it performs quite well.

Around 40-70 fps on red dead 2 on ultra graphics, can stutter a bit

Temps i’ve not seen risen over 75 degrees celsius on cpu, gpu stayed around 65 celsius

BeamNG.Drive also performs extremely well on ultra graphics, 60 fps with traffic, seems good because the game is in Alpha and is yet not that optimized

No cons. Im also surprised it has facial recognition aswell. Thats something new for a gaming laptop, havent seen it before

Otherwise a great laptop, if you have any questions let me know.

I’m also looking for good steam games like red dead 2, if you have any suggestions i’m open about them

I have no idea how to use windows, nor do i know anything about computers. I only planned to play sims 4 and roblox and doing schoolwork. Is this laptop good

Sooo as the title says, my cat stood on my laptop keyboard and now the laptop display is fully gone lol.

I restarted my laptop after the video and the display is fully off, I don’t even know where to begin with figuring out what happened so I was hoping someone here could please be kind enough to help me out! 😭

My monitor is working fine and theres no issue with anything else except the lack of anything on my laptop screen.

Also, the keyboard lights flashing is just a video glitch that my camera picked up for some reason, it’s not flashing IRL.

If any specs would help to know I can comment them after I find them, the laptop is an AORUS 15P KD.

Must be a virus.

She was mad and jealous for no reason and she was screaming. And all I see her pick up the laptop over her head and rams into the floor the floor was carpet so I didn't get too much damage, but the screen is slightly bent. I wanna fix it without breaking it. I'm so scary and it offends me the most. I would rather not have this laptop than have the bent screen. It hurts me , To see my laptop with a bent screen. This women is consuming me destroying my life.

Been using predator triton 300 since uni. Upgrading from i5-9300h gtx 1650, to a strix g16 u9-275hx rtx 5080 laptop. My wife decided to buy me a new laptop for my birthday gift as my previous laptop broke down a while ago. Couldn't be much happier. First time start up. Any tips for me?

This laptop is bought at Malaysia at a price of RM 12,099. I think around 2800USD?

The struggle is real.
