I purchased this laptop for light gaming and working from home and it has performed very well. The screen has a good refresh rate, and the GPU supports ray-tracing. Good battery life with the integrated graphics also.

have some problems but worth every penny

So I have been using this laptop for over a period of 3 months now, and I believe I can say that I have done almost everything that an average user would do and beyond. In some cases.
first of all, I would like to tell the Pros of this device.
1) The overall build is great and the body is sturdy and the monitor doesn't wabble when jerked around.
2) The keyboard on this device is is just amazing. I LOVE it. the key travel is just perfect and the click also doesn't feel mushy. I could comfortably type a 100 page project on this laptop without any pain in my wrist area. took me a little time to adjust to it but it felt more natural the more i started using it.
3) The configuration and the cost of the laptop are just too perfect to be true. An RTX 2060 with Ryzen 7 3750H is a match made in heaven. The costing, although a bit pricy(that's just my personal opinion cuz i like to save money where ever i can) is retty much better that almost all of the competitors that i looked into.
4) the upgradeability is good. I could get the latest nvme drives or if I have a 2.5 inch ssd lying at home, I could fit that into this and get my laptop better and faster. so that is also a plus point in my opinion although I would have preferred 2 nvme slots, and a drive slot, I dont mind this too as the average consumer will not be knowing the difference in them anyways.
5) The ports are conveniently placed and easy to remember. (not a full point. see cons point 5)
6) The screen provided with this is an added bonus cuz it can go 144 hertz. the panel quality is also good as I haven't faced any issues of localized white spots or anything upto this point and I did some editing for a friend and had no problem in color corrections and stuff.
7) The laptop is average in heat management, but its good. It knows when to do what speeds of the fan and it shows. while normal surfing, the fans are barely audible and when i start playing games, they go up according to the hear produced. idk if that should be a plus point or not but I was not irritated by the fan noise made. so im guessing a lot of people wont have any problem with the fans.
now coming to the CONS of the laptop.
1)the software could create a lot of problems sometimes. for example, the pre installed software, ARMOURY CRATE was not working properly a lot of times. did not show correct temperatures and even showed 0 degrees celcius at times when i was at the peak of gaming.
2) The RGB on this laptop is pretty vanilla. It could have been better if asus atleast added a raindrop-ish type of feature for the keyboard lighting software. or other modes than the basic 4 modes it has (strobe, cycle, static and breathing). It would also have been a good thing if they could have included RGB in the outlines of the track pad. (again, this is a personal preference.)
3) sometimes it overheats for no reason. even when playing the least graphic intensive stuff, the fans go crazy. Im guessing that is a software issue.
4) Again, the upgradibility is good, but could have been better. also, I feel like the Ryzen 7 is acting like a bottleneck for the RTX 2060.
5) Why are there no ports on this device?!?!?
the only ports it has is a gigabit eathernet, one hdmi and three usb slots and that too one is usb 2.0. asus could atleast have added a sd card reader and a mini display port to the laptop. I agree that the current ports are set up in a good way but what was stopping you from adding a mini display port and micro sd card? also not to forget a usb type c would have been nice. really disappointed by that to be honest.

6) the webcam is really bad. forgive me for my rude language but the webcam is not even on the basic level as a normal laptop.
7) The body of the laptop could have been made by metal too. that would have been a nice option.
And that is the end of my review for this laptop.
