Almost perfect.
I've had this for about a month. It's running everything I can through at it in ultra setting. The screen size is perfect for a desktop replacement. I have noticed a subtle flickering of the screen. After doing all of the recommended steps it still flickers. Otherwise I would give it a 5/5.

Not good with Linux, at all.
I selected this laptop from a review that said ASUS ROG supported Linux as an OS for their laptops. That support stopped. The hardware and integration with Windows, from what I saw, was pretty good, but getting Linux to run and support all the hardware features is not so great. If you're a Windows user, this laptop is probably ideal for you. If you're looking for a good Linux Laptop, look elsewhere.

Driver/firmware induced blue screens make me less excited about the amazing performance
Lightning fast, great physical engineering, and awesome support. However - firmware and drivers are what you'd expect from a new laptop that was rolled out too fast. Last night, it had 5 blue screens, 3 of which were with nothing significant running except an Amazon Prime video in Chrome (and a billion processes to serve various device drivers, as usual with Windows and a gaming setup). It reboots quickly, but I'm not going to use it for online gaming or serious AI batch jobs until it can run for a few hours without crashing.
