An excellent laptop for both work and gaming – An excellent laptop for both work and gaming, capable of running even modern games like Helldivers 2.

Was excellent until it died – I have had this for a while, the best computer I have ever had. Fast and responsive. It is now 3 years old and has died. Sudden death, must be a… Read more

hardware problem, maybe power supply? The mains unit is working fine, the battery was fine, but now nothing. Does not turn on at all. Very disappointing that such a good computer is now useless.

My opinion based on only a few weeks of use Pros The Laptop is nice to use with a good keyboard with several one touch buttons for handy… Read more

regular use functions.

The display whilst not being the high end version has decent brightness , can be used in sunlight and performs well inside games.

The Performance is good for me with the only issues being some of the included bloatware but that's was easily addressed.

When under a full load it was not loud fans wise or never got as hot as my previous machine. The USB C ports run Video no problems.

Whilst the inbuilt speakers are not great they are a lot better than most unbranded sound systems. For a laptop in this price range they were probably the best I came across. Decent Battery performance.

Cons

Although it has 4 USB ports the mix being 2 USB type A and 2 USB Type C I do wish it had one more type A port as by the time a mouse and keyboard are connected you only have Type C ports available.

However More an Issue with me as I didn't think the mix would cause a problem. It does if you want to connect a USB memory stick with a Type A connector. Not a deal breaker but long term it will need a work around like a hub or dual wireless setup for the keyboard and/or mouse. Again not a big deal as you can identify this at the time of purchase.

I usually use a Laptop connected to external power and there is no problem with this one other than the connector. That being it's location on the side. It would be better with a rear connector IMHO but the power supply does have a Right Angled plug. Only really an issue if you move it around whilst connected.

For me it could do with more storage as I use plenty of mods for the games I play. Again not a big deal as it has an additional internal connector for another SSD. Only one and not for a traditional HDD sized unit but it is a modern machine so an NVME unit is fine.

Overall

After having had a few laptops now for the money this one is one of the best. Whilst it isn't a lightweight the 90WH battery and robust feel and construction leaves me confident in it's long term future. I don't think you could go wrong for the money with it's Gaming Video Performance and low power usage when not running flat out. It does behave strangely on occasion but this was always due to Windows 11. One day I figure that out.

The Best – Have a few around the house and is a fantastic product. 10 years and counting and they just keep on ticking. User interface can be a bit… Read more

overwhelming for a newbie but you'll be right. AiMesh works great. NBN FTTP no dramas and Wi-Fi multiple devices just fine. Good app for parental control.

Great laptop! Good for xbox games when I'm away from home – All round good computer. Its light, compact but a good size to play games on. The build is good enough for me to play xbox games and other high… Read more

demand games when I'm away from home. Its also the TUFF series, so its solid and can take the accidental bump. Definitely worth the money.

Very Good Card – Excellent quality card. Arguably one of the best available RTX 3080s out there. It's quite a large card, but the 3 fans are very useful as it… Read more

performs very well thermally. Very quiet too. The design is nice and sleek, a touch of RGB, overall very good. Highly recommend if you can get it for a decent price.

Faulty Wifi Adaptor – Everything was absolutely perfect for 8 months until the wifi adaptor broke and has been broken ever since. Sent it to the Asus Repair Centre in… Read more

which they wiped everything as well as replaced the adaptor. Two weeks later, it was broken once again. Been an absolute nightmare securing a refund for this device.

The Perfect Upgrade – Been gaming on ROG Strix G15 RTX 2060 laptop. Decided to build a PC and go with RTX 3080 as the choice. This card has not disappointed a single bit. Love the design and performance! Show details

Useless: Nvidia HDMI audio works only ~20% of the time, laptop heats up with no tasks running, can't boot by usb – * HDMI audio works only ~20% of the time - really, really frustrating spending hours running all the steps listed online (uninstall the drivers,… Read more

re-install the drivers, run the Nvidia Control Panel (?!!!!)), with comments online that support calls are ignored. Clearly no attempt is made by ASUS / Nvidia to fix this bug. * Laptop heats up with fans at full speed within 10 minutes of starting, even while no tasks are running. * It's not possible to boot by usb.

Value for money – Super cool and fast. After searching alot on internet i am glad that i made the right decision. Amazing budget gaming laptop, absolutely a beast machine and it starts up very fast.

Long Life – I've had this router for over 6 years now, with three ISP's and its never missed a beat. Very occasionally [every 3 months or so] I note a slow down… Read more

and do a reboot. Love the simple GUI and the auto firmware update. I have a large single level home and WIFI is available everywhere and to my outside cameras. Was going to update recently but decided I'd wait until this gives up the ghost.

Great Value for Money! – Purchase this laptop for some productivity and some light gaming. So far it has not disappointed. Love the large screen and well thought out keyboard. Highly recommend to anyone who doesn't wish to break the bank. Show details

ASUS ROG Strix G15 G512LV-HN037T – This laptop is worth the money and very affordable. Used this laptop for gaming and work. Fan is abit noisy when the laptop gets hot but this is normal. Totally recomended for anyone who looking for budget laptop and good performance.

Brilliant service and product quality – Order placed on Sunday and was promptly packed and sent before midday on Monday. Order arrived from interstate on Tuesday afternoon with express post. Thank you for actioning my order so quickly for speedy delivery. Great service Show details

Asus Perfection – Love the Asus range of Notebooks, they are great quality and reliable. This is my second now as the kids are needing them for school. Will be buying some more soon. Highly recommended.

Pro's Asus continuously update the firmware so if there's a bug it soon gets fixed. -8 LAN ports: ideal for anyone with more than 4 ethernet devices -Wifi 6 (AX) connectivity -Exceptional range: We can see the router 72 metres away at a friends place going through multiple walls and 2 other houses -Surprisingly fast wifi 5 speeds close to the router i.e. >350 Mb/s Chromecast/Google streamer -Reasonable speeds when a further away e.g. ~60 Mb/s on Wifi 5 ~20 m away, at the far end of a garage at the far end of the property, going through brick walls, tin roof, filing cabinets, etc... -Lots of features e.g. Mesh & ability to pass through multiple IP addresses (we run 2 VOIP lines Optus & Vonex) -Rock solid reliability: Zero crashes. No need to regularly reboot. -Good longevity (never had a router fail) -Works straight out of the box -Passing through IP addresses is fairly easy -Advanced settings are fairly easy to find, use and access -User friendly graphical interface

Con's -Wifi 6 (Wifi 7 would be nice) -1 Gb/s ethernet: If you have Gigabit internet or move data around at high speeds this may be too slow

Bought this router for $350 (1 year old)... it was $516 new. Overall a great purchase

:-)

Faulty WiFi, unusable – Easy to set up and use, with decent range for 2.4Ghz and good WiFi speed. But after a few months the WiFi began to suffer errors where it would be… Read more

"connected" but without internet. Wired devices on the same router would continue to work fine. Power cycling the router would see it working fine again for a couple of days. This irregular operation behavior worsened over time and eventually meant that I had problems even trying to use connected devices through Google Home like Spotify connect. After much frustration, I replaced the Asus with a decent Netgear RAX200 and it's been flawless. On the basis of this experience, I could not recommend this device to anyone.

considered an environmental issue. It's not dust as it cannot be cleaned off and it seems to be eating into the metal. For this reason I cannot recommend such an expensive card.

Expensive laptop with inferior hardware – My Asus ROG Strix gaming laptop gave me issues with the display soon after purchase. Four times the screen was replaced in two years! Second issue… Read more

and the most expensive and time consuming for me, happened just after the expiration of the warranty period. Now, my laptop refuses to boot up!

Asus Australia offered me no joy, despite several efforts to have them help me out with my issue, showing no concern nor interest whatsoever. Asus, it's an expensive piece of technology, your two year warranty doesn't reflect the expensiveness of this laptop nor the period of time that I believe I should get before negative issues arise. We have chosen to trust your products and technologies and I personally don't consider your objectionable behaviour as customer-friendly. I certainly will never be purchasing an Asus product again, avoiding risk of failure in an expensive Asus product within a short period of time and with very limited warranty indeed!

An excellent notebook. Highly recommended – Model number: D533IA-BQ156T This is the best 15" notebook for around $1000 I have setup in ages. It is full metal body and a very premium design. … Read more

It has a decent CPU with the AMD Ryzen R5-4500U and 8GB of RAM (2x4GB so that's great!). It has a 512GB solid state drive (SSD) which is more than enough storage for most people. It is very fast! The screen is fantastic - very sharp and clear. The weight is also excellent for a 15.6" notebook.

The webcam is ok but I honestly don't understand why manufacturers are not using the selfie camera from a phone now. Surely they can strike a deal with a provider of the selfie camera for Samsung, HTC, Oppo or whomever.

I believe it also has a TPM2.0 chip so should be able to run Windows 11 once it's released and stable, in about a year.

This is NOT a gaming notebook but a really good all- rounder. Gaming notebooks are overrated anyway.

I have set up 28 of these notebooks so far and each time I must say I am rather jealous of my customers. If I were to choose another notebook right now in this price bracket I wouldn't hesitate in buying one of these. This is perfect for my needs and probably anyone else's.

This computer definitely gets my recommendation for a powerful and very well build machine. Well done Asus! Well done indeed!

Worth the Price Tag – Although I have only had it for a few days I really like how it is working and does not overheat despite hours of power on. Not only is it efficient it looks good too! Very good for both gaming and coding! Best PC ive had!  Show details

Screen is prefect – I buy this laptop for the performance and screen. The colour of the screen surprised me and much better than my previous one. It's also very light and easy to carry. Very suitable for gaming!  Show details

Excellent WiFi speeds – Upgraded from nbn50 to nbn100. Did not get vastly different speeds, when ethernet connected had 105Mbs (always use WiFi). With some searching that… Read more

basic router supplied by IP does not cut it. The Asus seemed to be low cost for smaller home, and packed with features, free firmware update+trend security for life of router+more. Easy setup(though I did need a little help from Asus Support, very good). Concurrent use of 2.4Ghz+5Ghz. 5Ghz for TV+Tablets achieving 105Mbs consistency, and 75Mbs at 30m outside. 2.4Ghz good for mobie phones, printer, Google home, smart lights etc. Using for 6 weeks solid performance. Note: If updating firmware on WiFi, place your device close to the router, as specified in Setup. Very happy with purchase from Amazon and support from Asus.

Such a massive upgrade for me coming all the way from the 10xx series, definitely will future proof ya for a long time as its got some serious power Show details

Great graphics card! Easy to OC! – The best graphics card I had so far! Achieving high FPS with no efforts on the most recent games! Even without the need to OC! That is definitely a purchase I won't regret. Looking forward to playing the new games available :) Show details

Been looking to upgrade from my 2080 for a little while now and had only recently considered AMD as an option. With comparable performance against… Read more

the 5070Ti and much cheaper (at the time of writing) the choice for me was clear. The 9070 XT runs cool and quiet, and in my opinion the ASUS Prime design is the best out of the offerings.

Should've got this model a long time ago – It does everything and just has everything my favourite feature is definitely the USB C PD, being able to go portable without the big brick is HUGE… Read more

for me as I work off site sometimes

other amazing things include the 300hz screen, perfect match with intel and nvidia (my programs that I use for work just dont like AMD so this model is just perfect) not to mention all that connectivity too, on the surface it may seem only 3 USB A ports but note these are gen 2 and hubs dont stand a chance against them, plus the TB3 connector... goodness

I use this laptop to drive my AOC 49 since it can do display port 1.4 alt mode for the full 1440p resolution.

Bless because I doubt any other laptop could do this.

Good motherboard for the money, does everything needed. Pathetic customer service Show details

Works well but its approach to network management could be better – On the upside the RT-AC86U does offer decent performance and its not too hard to set up, mostly. Where it falls down for me and my family is its… Read more

approach to network management. Finding devices on a network is not well configured, so identifying specific devices, is hit and miss. Its counter intuitive interface for parental control time management is going to confuse a lot of people (it did us initially as it asks you to specify hours "not on line" as opposed to hours spent on line) and is not as a consequence easy to set up. It consistently dropped the ball when it came to daylight saving too.

All in all an OK device from our point of view that would have made more sense had it been better at network monitoring and taken a straightforward approach to parental controls.
