Asus Gaming Laptop Core I5

I was a little concerned about choosing the i5 quad core processor over the i7 that I had in my previous HP computer as I utilize a few adobe programs at a time. So far, I have no complaints with the overall speed, and can't really tell a difference. The screen is also smaller than my last which I was worried would be an issue but I honestly love the portability of this computer!  The Touch Bar is actually way cooler than I ever expected it to be, I think Mac has done a poor job of promoting its capability. And the integration with my iPhone is really awesome. They work together seamlessly and made setup a breeze as it sent a lot of data over to my computer. I was a little disappointed that it took longer to ship out than originally advertised especially since I chose to buy through B&H specifically because they had the earliest arrival date. I ultimately lost out on an entire day of work which cost me additional money, but considering the current climate, I understand and prefer to support local business over large chains. I've only had great experiences with B&H thus far. I just hope in the end this laptop outlasts my previous (also very expensive) laptop. Only time will tell.

I have had this product for almost 2 months now and have used it a lot. I have an older i5 Toshiba Satellite laptop and the ASUS-USB-BT500 has worked well on this device. I am completely satisfied with this product.

Amazing core i5!!! Good processor at a good price

Needed this to keep a Core i5-11600K from giving me a sun tan. You KNOW the 11600K can get hot.

I am learning to enjoy my ASUS 15.6 Vivobook. It is a replacement for my nearly 14 year old laptop that has seen better days. I am on a limited budget, but I didn't want mediocre specs that would be outdated in 6 months. I do mainly internet browsing, some productivity work (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.), some low intensity gaming, and on occasion some video editing for my socials. Bottom line - You should probably get one while qtys and pricing are good. Pros - It has the specs I wanted (i9 CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) at a great price. More than enough computing power for gaming, casual internet browsing, and the occasional homework/essay. It included FREE 2-Day Shipping - I am on the West Coast. Screen colors are vibrant, keyboard is keyboard-y with backlit keys. The laptop itself is not the lightest out there, but is hardly the boat anchor ROG ASUS I still own that is on its last legs. It's offered thru a reputable dealer. Cons (ish) - Only 1920x1080 resolution and no touchscreen. I haven't really encountered any other negatives so far. It's been a while since I purchased MY own laptop. To be transparent, I have helped recommend and even purchased several laptops over the years for my family and friends. My previous-current laptop is a still-running ASUS G51J (i7 CPU 1st Gen, 6GB RAM, 500GB 2.5 HDD) - battery doesn't charge, but still works plugged in. I purchased it from B&H also circa 2010. Being a frugal tinkerer myself, but wanting the best value for my budget, I researched and compared several buying sources including big box stores, national (U.S.) retail chains and even Amazon, but I still chose B&H. Even though I am on the West Coast, I still found value in the products they offer as well as the service and buying experience. Did I mention FREE 2-Day shipping from the East Coast (NY). Hope this review helps.

Just got this the other day. Have been waiting months for this! Works with my Asus gaming laptop, going thunderbolt to firewire adapter to my Presonus Firestudio.

The case it's self is made just like any other Pelican. The padding is awesome and the space is more than enough for me to use with my laptop. I have a large ASUS 15.6 gaming laptop and it is enough to fit the computer, mouse and charger without it wiggling around. I also use this for my transporting my pistol sense I didn't cut up the block of foam for the ASUS. On the downside the Tan color is a lot lighter than I thought it was going to be, which is a very minor complaint.

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 is a top-of-the-line gaming laptop that boasts both excellent performance and striking aesthetics. With a powerful 14th Gen Intel Core processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, it can handle even the most demanding games with ease. Additionally, the display delivers vivid visuals and a smooth refresh rate. Although not my favorite feature, the dazzling RGB lighting adds a touch of personality. While on the heavier side, the overall build quality is impressive. Although still not quite on par with the Zephyrus G16 build quality, the Scar 16 more than makes up for its build quality with approximately 20% more performance over the G16 and the ability to further upgrade the RAM for even more performance. If you're looking for a gaming laptop that offers both style and substance, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 is a great option for a portable desktop replacement.

I brought this since my Asus Gaming laptop only had a 1/2TB SSD. Easy to install and fast read/write times. Highly Recommend.

My Asus rog strix scar edition gaming laptop didn't come with a optical drive so I bought this as a replacement and it works awesome super fast and ready to go out of the box I would definitely recommend
