" ... We have had no issues with the games we play and this laptop supplies all that we were looking for in a gaming computer. ... "
" ... I bought a game pro myself about 5 years ago and it's still in top quality condition. ... "
" ... I purchased this gaming laptop for my 20 year old son. ... "
" ... I love my first gaming pc. ... "
" ... I love it, a little loud while gaming and gets warm but overall since I'm a new PC gamer I'm good with it and would recommend it to other new beginners ... "
" ... I wouldn't recommend it for people with hardcore gaming/video editing in mind, but for someone like me who plays older games (No Man's Sky, Witcher 3, Skyrim, etc) and watches movies on their laptop it's good for the price. ... "
" ... :) I went from a windows 7 computer, playing games on, to this laptop and it is heaven! ... "
" ... Good choice for budget gaming laptop ... "

" ... I've tried a couple of things to attempt the cool it, including lifting the PC and putting a small fan under the computer. ... "
" ... Best laptop for its price and extremely upgradeable. ... "
" ... Next time though I might just get a desktop if I'm just going to play plugged in all the time. ... "
" ... Tenia tantos años sin renovar mi laptop. ... "

" ... Runs as good as my desktop I built to play on. ... "
" ... The Ryzen CPU paired with the GTX 1650 offer smooth performance. ... -FAST startup and program loading. ... That's blazing fast, thanks to windows booting from the SSD, paired with fast DDR4 Ram and the nice Ryzen cpu. ... This is a solid mid performance level laptop with a 120Hz screen and competes well with the bigger boys that run well over $1,000. ... "

" ... The display can be overclocked to 144hz and it looks amazing at that refresh rate. ... "
" ... I'm not a "display enthusiast," so the most that I can say is that the colors and brightness seem pretty good. ... "
" ... -The 120hz FHD IPS type panel is awesome and looks great. ... Just wish the gamma was a bit better but I was able to adjust that in Color Management in the Control Panel and set up my own profile. ... "
" ... The screen is fantastic for being a 1080p, even though I'm used to playing on larger 4k monitors, the resolution is perfect for its size and games look really good on it. ... "
" ... First of all, the 120Hz display makes a world of difference. ... The screens great, apart from mediocrity colour reproduction, but a laptop isnt just a screen, what drives the screen is just as important. ... I would choose 120Hz screen and medium graphics over 60Hz and high graphics anyday ... perhaps laptop screens are too small to really notice graphical improvements from medium-high settings. ... In fact it does it fairly well with a 120Hz screen, and at a budget price point at that! ... If you want a solid gaming laptop at an amazing price I cannot recommend anything else- the 120hz screen really is a rarity at this price point. ... "
" ... I dimmed the display to minimum, and set the refresh rate to 48hz. ... "
" ... Plus a 120hz refresh rate screen which no other laptop has at this price point. ... "
" ... The screen looks beautiful but in my opinion it lacks brightness and can be annoying at times, also the memory capacity is really low, other than that, the machine works perfectly ... "

" ... I never had a laptop that cost this much ($700) . ... Overall: For my money and yours , this is worth the money and more . ... "
" ... DR: Overall it is a budget laptop with a lot of issues, but I can excuse them because of the price I paid in November 2019. ... "

" ... Also a side note, the computer has 8GB of RAM memory, but you can put up to 16GB, which is nice, I did it myself. ... "
" ... I'd recommend getting some extra storage for it though! ... "
" ... As many others in the reviews note, an 8GB ram stick upgrade is highly recommended. ... "
" ... I will say I love the bios menu, was very easy to read and diagnose that it wasn't registering any storage drive. ... "
" ... I did add the 8gb extra ram stick making it 16GB which is how I'm hitting all of these nice settings and graphics. ... "
" ... I updated the ram upon purchase to 16 GB and a month later added a second 1 GB SSD (both Samsung products) to the system with relative ease. ... I definitely recommend that addition on purchase along with the ram rather than waiting and having to move things around as I did later. ... "

" ... As for the thing black screening and crashing, no idea, wasn’t willing to keep it to find out when I paid what I did for it. ... "
" ... The final issue is a software issue. ... That stupid MyASUS is a horrible program and asks to update every 10 minutes and despite clicking Update it won’t. ... Going to the Windows App Store and updating won’t solve it either. ... Just delete it and manually update everything yourself. ... "
" ... Several times upon restart, the OS wouldn’t even boot properly. ... "
" ... One week of telework, then got a bluescreen, and no more boot option in the BIOS. ... "
" ... Everything I've researched has pointed to downloading some Aura software and then I can fiddle with the light settings, so that's what I did. ... Except the software won't even start for me, and the internet consensus is just "yeah, the software sucks, nobody knows how to fix it." ... I'd rather spend time with my family but I've been busy updating BIOSes and uninstalling/reinstalling software and scouring forums for answers, and I have nothing to show for it. ... "
" ... I reinstalled windows multiple times and finally sent it off for an RMA. ... ASUS kept my laptop for 4 months updated the BIOS and sent it back, still with the weird screen issue. ... "
" ... The day I got it, I started encountering some issues but I figured that I juts needed to install some updates and what-not. ... The biggest issue I have with this laptop is that for some reason, it can not handle browser media well. ... I tried installing Aura but it froze the computer every single time on startup and I had to restore the operating system to a previous point just to get it to work again. ... "

" ... Battery wise I cannot say yet, but if travelling on an airplane it would imo definitely require extra juice from a powerbank. ... "

The first one refers to a file or driver titled "atikmpag.sys", the other has no reference. ... Doing a quick google search for both codes shows that something correlated with the video display drivers, the GPU, and /or the graphics cards in the computer are either damaged or defective. ...
