I’ve received a few laptops in my search for a gaming laptop that is also good for content creation. This laptop hits all my requirements with flying colors. It runs current titles well at ultra settings. The laptop does really well with not having noticeable screen bleed. The display is sharp and the 240 Hz refresh rate looks amazing when playing eSports titles.

It handles any game I through at it at max settings. Overall I’m VERY impressed! I upgraded it with a 2tb Seagate Firecuda SSHD and it’s just the laptop of my dreams. Besides the glitches with windows (no fault of Asus) it’s perfect! I wish I would’ve waited just a bit longer for the RTX Supers for mobile to be released, but I’m so happy with this purchase anyway. I still would’ve chosen Asus. Thermals: The fans are appropriately loud for the power that you get. The cooling solution is very good! I’m incredibly impressed by the fact that it doesn’t get hot to the touch, just warm! Where you sit your palm stays cold! My MSI Ge62 Apache Pro 2qf had horrible thermals despite also having two fans. This laptop does have one additional radiator, and the 2070 is more efficient than the 970m though, so that plays into the incredibly good thermal dissipation.

The specs on this laptop is amazing. This is the cheapest gaming laptop with RTX 2070. The build quality is good. Conclusion: this laptop is perfect for gaming and daily use.

I have had this laptop since September and I have been using it daily as a replacement for my desktop computer that had failed. The i7-9750H CPU and RTX 2070 GPU in this computer make it an absolute dream to operate, both for regular computer use and gaming. It has handled AAA PC games with ease and they look gorgeous on the 240Hz display. Though I have to say that a RTX 2070, even on lower settings, will not push games close to the 240Hz limit. Which is fine. It is a powerhouse of a PC in a relatively small package, and carrying around the laptop in a bag is not a backbreaking process. When you are utilizing this machine for basic web browsing, document editing etc, I recommend using the “Silent” mode, as the fans can be quite distracting, though definitely not the loudest fans I have heard on a gaming laptop. Overall, I would highly recommend this or any of the other units in the ASUS Scar III lineup.
