  • My New ASUS G635LX ... I'm a happy camper thus far! (Updated March 2026)
Style: 16” | RTX 5090
So far, so GOOD! I've had my G635LX for just about a month now, so this review is primarily my 1st (maybe 2nd) impression. Easy to set up. install programs and import files from my desktop. In fact, my MS account made it especially quick, as it did a lot of the work automatically. I dumped the McAfee almost immediately, as I have never required anything more than Windows Defender and my properly set up ASUS GT-AC5300 router for protection. The G635LX is heavy, but considering the RTX-5090, it is what I expected. As a professional photographer, lighter is often not better, even when transportation is a factor ... it is a trade-off I'm willing to make. It is still lighter than my Nikon Z9 with 24-70mm f2.8 lens attached. The screen is gorgeous, and the GPU will run programs like Adobe Lightroom Classic without any problem ... which is a big deal for me! My old laptop, just could not handle Lightroom ... it would completely stall doing tasks that the G635LX does in seconds ... thanks to the RTX-5090. So far, the cooling works well, and I've had no issues. Also, it is not too loud, as a few others have indicated in reviews. I added a ROG Keris II Ace wireless mouse and ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova ear buds. Both synced easily using Armoury Crate, and all functions, including updates, are easy to handle. I'll review both of these accessories next. Her upgradeability is wonderful, possibly the easiest of any laptop. I can (and will) pop in an additional 4T M.2 drive soon. I've built several ASUS motherboard-based desktops over the years, and I fully enjoy their products. I also performed a BIOS update. which went as expected. Sure, there are occasionally small issues, but typically nothing I cannot figure out. I will continue giving her a full test using Lightroom, which can really extend the abilities of a GPU. And also, my favorite games (CounterStrike 2 and CyberPunk 2077), which play well thus far ... before adding to this review. Bottom line is I am quite happy with my purchase. I love the typical ASUS light shows!! UPDATE ... Mar 2026 After 4 months ... I'm really happy with the 635LX!! It is powerful, fast and easy to use. The battery is fine for shorter sessions, but when the RTX 5090 kicks in, 2 hours may be all you'll get. I DO NOT feel this is a weakness, as the RTX 5090 is a powerful GPU and demands much more current. When I'm doing graphics-oriented work (photo processing, gaming), I expect to plug it in. Keep in mind that this unit also has an on-board GPU, to which it defaults when the RTX 5090 is not required. In this state, the battery lasts much longer. However, when I'm traveling, I expect to plug in the G635LX most of the time. BTW ... I love the light show!! ... show more

  • Don't but this laptop. If you make such mistake, enjoy it for the short time that it lasts
Style: 18” | RTX 4090
Terrible pc. Stop considering this immediately! Does not perform as expected. It could potentially perform better if overclocked, but it ran so hot that it wasn't an option. Experienced display issues almost immediately and that kept happening a couple times a week. Finally, 18 months after purchase, it comes up with a BitLocker key issue, which I never turned on and have no key for. So I try to reset the whole thing altogether, which fails multiple times. I choose the 'turn off' option and now the display is gone forever. Support wasn't helpful, except to tell me I only had a 6 month warranty ... show more

  • Using it now, so far it works great
Style: 16” | RTX 5090
It works as advertised, and I have not found any real problems with it. I do wish that I had gotten it with 64 gig RAM, today even 32 gigabytes is not enough.

  • Good Performances once cleaned and tweaked, but very bad QA from ASUS
Style: 16” | RTX 5090
As far as I'm concerned, the seller is not responsible for any of what I'm writing here, it's ASUS that could definitely do much better... Performance: 5* Quality: 3* Bad: For the price of this laptop, and its hardware specs, I did not expect it would randomly freeze for 2-4 seconds when launching applications, or when a UAC prompt closes. The event log was filled with warnings and errors from RestartManager about SID mismatch, Secure Boot Keys needing to be updated but never actually updating, and countless others. 6 keys on the keyboard have one of the RGB leds broken (on a brand new latop... seriously?) so I disabled animations because it looks horrible. Quality Assurance at ASUS is definitely not doing its job very well, in my opinion. Good: When properly configured by removing all the bloatware that comes preinstalled, replacing Armoury Crate with G-Helper, disabling the RGB animations, disabling Optimus mode (quite bad MUX switch implementation), it performs fantastically well to run games that require high-end specs. Recommendation: If you are saavy and know your way around configuring computers: I recommend but beware you'll have some work to do for a good experience. If you do not know how to edit a registry, update or rollback a BIOS, or even installing Windows, do not buy this unless having problems, that ASUS does not consider as problems, is fine for you. ... show more

  • Very powerful laptop that feels like desktop
Style: 16” | RTX 5090
The media could not be loaded. This was my 1st top of the line laptop. Before this I was using scar 17 i9, 3070ti, 32gb ddr5 which wasn't bad at all how ever this one just blows that away. Mini led display is almost like OLED cpu, gpu is truly over powered. Battery life is kinda short(depending on settings) but if your a gamer this will run most games with highest settings without any issues. Price however is kinda too much but these days I can understand due to Ai and everything feels over priced. ... show more

  • Horrible tech support
Style: 18” | RTX 4090
Laptop keyboard stopped working in 2 years. Sent in to Asus for repair and they wanted almost as much as the laptop cost new to fix. Cancelled repair and had laptop returned. It was in worse condition upon return. They had wiped the drive and removed everything. I send machines in for repairs regularly through work and have NEVER had one come back with the drive wiped unless it was specifically asked for. Will never purchase another Asus product. ... show more

  • Great gaming laptop.
Style: 18” | RTX 4090
Excellent laptop. Well worth the price. It does everything I want it to do. I've owned a few ASUS laptops and have been very happy with them. The one MSI I bought was a disaster.
