Not as good as I expected. This laptop gets really hot even when just browsing the web and then the fans ramp up it becomes very loud like a jet engine almost. Yes I get that it's a gaming laptop and it can get hot while gaming but mine seems to get hot just by doing random internet browsing or watching YT videos. It gets so hot that I cannot hold it in my lap (so much for a laptop) but in either case the good part is Asus doesn't make this model anylonger. Hopefully the new line up will do much better. I purchased this one second hand so I could not return it and ended up keeping the thing but believe me not by choice. Now for the good part. It can do AAA titles without any issues with smooth framerate however only when it's plugged into the AC outlet. If you want to game it will not do if just using the battery power. So much for portable right... Well anyways I did not want to review this thing until Asus sent me an email asking for a review. This is the only reason I'm reviewing this laptop. I have seen worse but honestly speaking would not recommend. The battery is dead within 3-4 days if you leave it fully charged and shut it off 3 days later you'll have 0% battery and will need to recharge. The other good thing is the keyboard. I love the keyboard it's something they got right. It's a pleasure to use when it works properly and doesn't sound like a jet engine. I have very mixed feelings about this one honestly you shoud not have asked for a review.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
