ASUS ROG Zephyrus M RTX-2070 Gaming Laptop (Open Box)

**1-year Review**So, I've been owning this laptop for almost a year now and my impression has not changed. Solid laptop for work, gaming, and coding. The touchpad has a few glitches here and there with the zoom-in gesture but that doesn't bother me most of the time. Since the purchase, I've upgraded the storage to 2 GBs and RAM to 32 GBs (which is solely for the purpose I use the laptop for). If you just want to use this laptop to play games and do school work (or pretty much 95% of the jobs out there), the stock performance is more than enough.Overall, I still recommend 10/10. If the laptop gets hot and the fans bother you then I'd recommend you get the KLIM laptop cooler (costs about $30). All problems solved.I've had this laptop for 4 months now and I gotta say I am very impressed. Yes, fans are loud but this is a thin and light laptop so it doesn't have room to put in additional heat sinks like a thicker, regular laptop. At the end of the day, you can only fight physics so much.The performance is excellent. I hook this up to a 43'' super-ultrawide monitor for work (and occasionally gaming) and this little laptop handles with no problem. I can play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare at max settings on the 43'' inch monitor and get 70+ FPS most of the time. I think if you use this laptop for gaming, 16 gb of ram should be plenty. For me personally, I use it mostly for work and always run multiple sheets of excels + a heavy financial software, and I had to upgrade to 32 gb ram.The keyboard can be customized to per-key RGB and you'll have to download software from Asus for it. I personally didn't care much, so no complaint there.Battery-life: I work on the plane with the laptop all the time and the battery usually lasts about 5 hours. With that said, I don't spend a lot of time watching Youtube or gaming on battery, so I don't know how long the battery would last under those applications.Would recommend buy 10/10. Only complaint is that Asus should get rid of the "Republic of Gamers" logo and the sound (which you can turn off) when booting up. Some people, like me, need a decently powerful laptop for work so gaming laptops are the way to go, but I don't need to have that logo showing up when I start my computer in front of other professionals.....
