I spent the last 6 months or so researching gaming laptops, now note this is not a top end gaming rig for 2025, however the price on sale for the specs could not be beat, everything's working fine, people having issues with this should try updating things, and do themselves a favor and uninstall McAfee. This fit the bill for me for my gaming needs, again I'm not looking for the top end gaming rig for this price because you're not going to get it at this price point, but for what it is it's a very good laptop.
Putting an i5-210H (28 W) in a gaming laptop seriously bottlenecks the GPU. In practice, it limits performance in modern games by 20-30 % compared to an i7-230H or Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, and heavy throttling kicks in after a few minutes. For real gaming performance in 2025, this CPU simply isn’t suitable. Customers end up paying gaming-laptop money for mid-range real-world results.
I didn't realize how poor my previous laptop was until I bought this new ASUS. It is so much faster, larger screen, quicker turn on. Getting used to Windows 11. I have nothing but good things to say about this ASUS. I however do not do any gaming, so I can't vouch for this capability.
Please do not buy this laptop. I am using this from 5 months and It is too much laggy even while scrolling youtube. Its processor is very weak. It can’t even handle web browsing. And when i watch a movie on netflix its screen keep lagging or screen starts moving up and down. Very bad laptop i ever saw
