Features

  • Introducing the 8th-gen ROG Strix HERO Edition
  • High refresh rate gaming display
  • Th-generation Intel Core processors

Description

The new ROG Strix Hero Edition is built for the next generation of gamers looking to take their game to the next level thanks to up to an 8th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, GTX graphics, and a high refresh rate gaming display. The 8th-Generation Hero Edition brings several refinements to the series, including an AURA SYNC RGB keyboard and 12V fans for improved thermal performance.A hallmark of the Strix Hero Edition series is its high refresh rate 120Hz displays. Higher refresh rate displays deliver a multitude more frames within the same amount of time compared to standard 60Hz displays. For many gamers, the difference of going from 60Hz to 120Hz is far more impactful than switching to a Higher screen resolution. High refresh rates result in smoother playback, allowing you to gain a competitive advantage in fast-paced MOBA games.

  • Built like a tank
Style: RTX 2070 | 512G SSD | 144Hz
Purchased this guy to upgrade from an ASUS GL-502VM. The build quality is leaps and bounds higher. Virtually no deck flex and feels super solid. The screen quality is good. I do wish it were a 1440p display and/or it had G-sync support, but at least it runs well at 144Hz. As with other nVidia laptops, if you hook up a G-sync compatible display via DisplayPort, it works. The NVME SSD that it comes with isn't incredibly fast compared to the Samsung 960 EVO that I replaced it with, but it's still faster than SATA. Speaking of SATA, it does come with the ability to add your own 2.5" SATA SSD. Comes with a cage for it, and a special fiddly ribbon connector as it doesn't have SATA data or power ports on the motherboard. Not very difficult to install, but it does require a careful touch to not mess up the ribbon connector's latch. More about upgrades. You can upgrade the RAM. At least partially. Opening the back gives you access to the M.2 slot, SATA drive and 1 DIMM slot. I'm not sure if it has 8GB soldered to the motherboard, or if there's a 2nd DIMM slot on the other side of the motherboard. The speakers on this thing are fantastic. They produce a lot more bass than I initially thought they would. They fire out the right and left sides around the bottom of the keyboard so they aren't easily covered by hands. They can also get quite loud without distorting or vibrating the chassis. It took me a while to figure out the Aura stuff for changing the keyboard lighting (and disabling the light strip on the front which I find kind of obnoxious). The CPU and GPU are both fantastic and keep cool, as well as keeping the keyboard cool so it's comfortable to game on for a long time. Keep in mind that unlike the Pascal cards, the mobile variants of these Turing cards are not identical to the desktop cards. They have a bit less SU's and are clocked a bit slower. The trackpad is glass as well as having separate right and left click buttons. It uses Windows Precision drivers as well. It still has some troubles that I can't seem to work out yet (sometimes input is ignored for a second or two), but most people probably won't use it too often. Overall, I love this thing and will probably continue to use it for several years down the road. ... show more

  • Great Bang for the Buck Gaming Laptop!
Style: RTX 2070 | 512G SSD | 144Hz
Excellent laptop for gaming. My only gripe was that it only came with a single 16GB stick of RAM. For those not familiar, overall performance is usually better with 2 sticks (dual channel). It's okay though, it gave me a reason to upgrade to 32GB. Benchmark scores went up an average of 10-15% in certain parts of the benchmark. For gamers, yes my FPS did go up after going to two sticks. The 144hz refresh rate is awesome. When in Turbo mode, fans are high but everything is Really Fast! For normal use, I would use in Silent or Balanced mode. I like that Asus put in a dedicated button on the keyboard to switch between these (ROG button). It's slightly heavier than the Zepharys G I originally bought and returned, but WAY more powerful than it so the trade-off was acceptable to me. This laptop is definitely worth it if you're a gamer. The 2070 GPU is amazing. The RGB keyboard and ROG symbol on the back is a plus. For hardcore gamers, Asus implemented overstroke technology so that your keystrokes are registered a few ms faster than usually. The wifi range is great and fast with 2x2 antennas. Speakers are the best laptop speakers I have ever heard. Hard drive is M.2 NVME. For those that don't know, this is much faster than traditional Sata SSD drives. CPU is great (Intel I7 6 core/12 thread). Ever the design is awesome with slim bezels, awesome brushed metal back, and camo on the inside around the RGB keyboard. This laptop is perfect mix of performance, design, and price. I found it the best bang for the buck on Cyber Monday at $1400. However, I would probably buy it for slightly higher cost too. It is definitely worth it. Just take my advice on the extra stick of RAM if you get one with a single stick. You can check how many sticks in windows task manager in the performance section. I am loving my laptop and hope you all will too! ... show more

  • Good value some below average parts
Style: RTX 2070 | 512G SSD | 144Hz
The battery is the first thing i noticed, it is sub par for a normal laptop but i've only owned this gaming laptop. the battery at 100% charge brand new lasted for me 3.5-5 hours when using chrome browser. Like stated this is bad compared to regular notebooks but it may be normal for a gaming laptop. Second point the screen is beautiful, its 1080p but its crisp and has great color accuracy. the screen for me is a 10 out of 10. Gaming performance is sub par for the components mostly due to the single stick of 16gb ram. putting a second stick for dual channel would help the performance immensely. there is barley any stutter in any game i've put it through. i average 86 fps in COD MW 19 max settings 1080p RTX enabled. like stated dual channel would help this a lot. Storage is fast but not much is offered. a HDD or SATA SSD can be added but 500gb is not enough for many games. Where the laptop lost its 5 star is in build quality, the lid is metal but its not durable i recommend getting a case for it with nothing else in it. there is a very small amount of flex with the keyboard. the build isnt bad but its not the best. a 7.5 out of 10 is what id give build quality. ... show more

  • Love this laptop Love this laptop
Style: RTX 2070 | 512G SSD | 144Hz
This is a very powerful laptop. I have had it for about a week and the gaming experience and overall user experience is top notch. Playing Overwatch and Call of Duty online without and hickups or screen tear. Even while I am downloading content in the background , my gaming is super smooth and the keyboard is responsive. I suggest if you get the model that comes with only 1 16gb stick, buy another 16gb ram stick and install it BEFORE you turn on windows for the first time. I had some errors before but this time it worked perfectly. Also adding HDD / SSD takes a careful hand. Not the easiest SSD install but it's not too bad. And the cable for the SSD is in the packet with the ROG sculpture, just have to look throughly. The reason I give it 4 stars is because the Armory Crate software which controls the RGB keyboard is terrible. It works whenever it wants to. And when I try to customize it keeps crashing, so for now I have it on just 1 single light until Asus implements an software update. EDIT 12/01/2019 There was a software update for the armory crate so I can now customize the 4 zones as well as the light strip on the bottom and the logo on the lid. You can individually customize them. However it still freezes up at times and you can change anything. ... show more

  • I was expecting better quality components (upd: don't buy it!)
Style: GTX 1050Ti | 128G SSD + 1T HDD | 120Hz
Update (July, 13 2019): I would not buy this laptop again! Some months ago, the fan speed started to behave like crazy. Even when the GPU is not being used, the fan goes to 7000rpm, making a huge noise. It happens several times during the day. Posts in the ROG forums and comments here shows that other people are having the same problem. ASUS support didn't help at all. They want me to send the machine for repair, but I live in Brazil and local ASUS doesn't offer support for this laptop. I would need to send it to USA, but shipping would be too expensive and I use this laptop for my daily work. I'm 99% sure this fan problem is a mix of bug in the BIOS + drivers + ROG Gaming Center. Unfortunately, it seems that I will have to buy another laptop, but you can be sure it will not be an ASUS. ---------------- Original comment: I bought this notebook while my daughter was in USA. Since I live in Brazil, she brought it to me 2 weeks ago. I'm not a gamer, I'm a software developer, so I need a fast machine to do my daily work, and gamers notebooks usually fits this requirement. I was an ASUS fan back in the 90's, when I used to assembly desktop machines with parts from different brands. ASUS was my preferred brand for the motherboards in that time, so I supposed that ASUS notebooks would provide the same quality that I was used to, back in those days. Well, it seems that my expectations was too high. The machine is fast, of course, but I faced two problems that I would like to share: When you "click" in the touchpad, it is like there is something loose inside that hits the plastic chassis mostly where you stand your wrist, causing an weird sensation. The other problem is a "high frequency" noise coming from the notebook when the CPU is under some load. I searched the online forums, and this sound seems to be pretty common in ASUS notebooks, and they call it "coil whine" sound. It seems to be harmless, but very annoying. The loose touchpad also seems to be common for those notebooks. Unfortunately, ASUS warranty does not cover Brazil, so seems that I'll have to live with those problems. They are not showstoppers, but they should not exist at all in a quality product. Another problem was regarding the (mostly useless) ASUS support. I replaced the original SSD with a (higher capacity) Samsung EVO 970, meaning that I had to do a fresh install of Windows 10. I downloaded all the drivers from ASUS site, but I wasn't able to install the touchpad driver. In the end of the install, it always raised an error. I contacted ASUS support by chat, and they gave me all kind of useless answers, like installing ASUS live, send it to RMA (in my case, this would not be possible), etc. I was sure that there was no hardware problem, since the touchpad worked fine in the bios setup screen, and also worked fine in the pre-installed Windows on the original SSD. It took me more than a day digging into forums, etc until I finally found that I had to install the Intel I/O driver before installing the Precision touchpad driver. This wasn't mentioned anywhere. This solved the problem, but I wonder how ASUS support missed this information! So, I wonder if buying an ASUS notebook was the best choice... ... show more

  • a total steal
Style: RTX 2070 | 512G SSD | 144Hz
o.k. my MSI ge62 MVR (i-7/gtx 1070) got stolen last month and i decided to wait on black friday/ Xmas season. boy, i'm glad i did. this is basically the same but newer and more powerful, with better battery life. the RTX 2070 i got was the full fat, not the "Max-Q", so faster clocks and better perf. but i wasn't expecting much in the way of the battery... but i was wrong. this ROG lappy gamed for over an hour and i was still over 65% battery. shocked, i tell you, shocked. my MSI couldn't game for a full hour on battery. also, the screen is a blazing fast 144hz and when combined with the RTX 2070 you can use ray-tracing at 1080p and still get over 100fps. i'm going to use 4k on the TV set a lot, so i wasn't overbuying on the RTX 2070. do yourself a favor and get a 16Gb dimm so you can have dual channel memory (at 32Gb) and you will gain roughly 5-10 fps. i got one for under $80. also, the build quality is very high but if you're going to add ram or an ssd (2.5") there are a lot of screws and you require something like a guitar pick to undo the back. if your adding an ssd, a ribbon connector is provided to plug in the SSD, but be sure to watch a youtube video before you do it. ... show more

  • Great Machine, odd styling
Style: RTX 2070 | 512G SSD | 144Hz
This is a great piece of hardware, packing a hexacore i7 and an RTX270 with monitor running at 144Hz. This laptop outperformed my main gaming desktop and convinced me I needed to upgrade to a better GPU/Monitor setup. I used it for a weekend long LAN party. It ran everything (Apex, SC2, Overwatch, UT4 etc.) on highest settings without missing a beat. It's a great gaming machine that rivals the likes of Razer's Blade at a significant discount. Opted to return this model in favor of the 17.3" version. For a weekend of gaming like I used it for, I'll be a lot more comfortable with the extra 2" diagonal. But everything inside is exactly what gamers will want. Not a fan of the "camo" print across half the keyboard area. Looks tacky, and definitely solicited snarky comments. Personal preference though. ... show more

  • I don't write many reviews
Style: RTX 2070 | 512G SSD | 144Hz
i bought the rtx2070 512m2 16gb. I would give it 4.7 stars if i could. its a great laptop but its not perfect. If you plan on playing games you really need to buy an extra stick of memory with the 16gb model. Games will run mediocre without it but ur frame rates will increase 90-110% when you add the 2nd channel (depending on the game). Shadow of the tomb raider averaged 50fps with med-high settings with 1 channel, it jumped to over 90 fps with ultra high settings. Resident evil 2 remake went from 60-85 to 105-144 (cus vsync probably) on highest settings. It's great for work. The 144hz panel makes everything look smooth. I got lucky, my panel only has a little light bleed in the corners and can only be seen when the screen goes completely dark. Fans are loud. Use headphones. The speakers are pretty good, u need to turn it up really loud to over power the fans. Panel is not gsync.. but 144hz so doesn't really matter. update: Worked great for about 3 weeks. Then the graphics card decided to disconnect itself from the computer. Couldn't find it in bios. My guess is high temps probably loosened a solder joint. I still like the computer so i ordered a replacement. ... show more
