ASUS ROG Strix G15 G512LW-HN038T

* HDMI audio works only ~20% of the time - really, really frustrating spending hours running all the steps listed online (uninstall the drivers, 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.

I purchase this laptop on December 12th 2020.
It's been nothing but a headache.
Heat issues and a flakey track pad.
Trackpad gets laggy at times. Bad enough to be very frustrating.

Here is the worst part!
When the screen turns off all the fans stop sp there is no no cooling what so ever.
I set all my computer's to put the display to sleep after 10 minutes and the actual computer to sleep after 1-2 hours depending on my usage so the fans should not have stopped.
Further investigation, when I discovered the fans turn off with the screen, showed ...

I have been using this laptop for a bit more than 2 month now. Bought for gaming and I am more than satisfied by the performances it can offer. Can run any recent games at good settings.
The fans are getting a bit loud when running very demanding games so I would recommend using headphones when gaming.
Only laptop with an RTX2070 I could find for this price.

Fantastic computer. Bought specifically for gaming and it does this effortlessly. Very user friendly, It was a easy to set up, would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to get into gaming at a great price.

bought this as a laptop to use for school and gaming, and I am amazed by the performance so far! Highly recommended for either a gaming machine or school work.

Bought this laptop and have had it for a few days. Great for a first gaming laptop. Runs fairly graphic intense games at high with decent fps. Fans are loud though so need to use headphones.

Bang for buck. Better specs than anything else i have found for similar price.

I bought this as a laptop to use for graphic design and casual gaming, and I am amazed by the performance so far! The build quality is fantastic and the speakers are also amazing, very happy!

Originally brought this for gaming whilst on the move.. it has also turned into an amazing work station for my work video editing. Highly recommended for either a gaming machine or for video editing.

Perfect!My son’s favorite, looks the configuration is very good，just ordered Jibifi online , didn’t receive the laptop, hope suitable for playing games. Also the price is very attractive in BOXING day.

I got this laptop as it had a great graphic card RTX2070 which I had tested on work PC's. For content creation and video editing for the web, this little beauty gives me enough grunt to do things seam

Just ordered this one from jb-hifi. Powerful and does all the tasks I need it to do. Great for gaming also with the RTX 2070 GPU. Yet to test it for CPU intensive tasks but I'm sure with the i7, this will also be a breeze.

Powerful GFX, makes rendering a breeze. We have used a few other machines, but rendering using 2070RTX has shown a far better performance than any other budget machines that we purchased. There could be other RTX's that would go an equally good or better job, but for what we need this machine packs a great deal of oomph and punch !!
We purchased two laptops, hence the two reviews : )

I got this laptop as it had a great graphic card RTX2070 which I had tested on work PC's. For content creation and video editing for the web, this little beauty gives me enough grunt to do things seamlessly.

I have only had this laptop for a few days, but so far it has been totally awesome! The screen quality is amazing and it can do everything I need it for. Gaming has been superb. Great value for money, so definitely recommend!

One of the best decisions I made instead of getting a Playstation 5. Playing Cyberpunk in this laptop was definitely amazing everything was running smooth, the overall performance is awesome. I love the details in the exterior.
