Pros:
- awesome display;
- nice keyboard;
- cooling OK but not great;
- handy Asus software preinstalled;
- light for its size and configuration;
- good performance;
- price is OK for this configuration; competitors can be a lot more expensive.
Cons:
- some LEDs inside bottom RGB light bar stopped working after a day of usage;
- coil whine;
- thermal throttling in some games for both CPU and GPU;
- misaligned display panel;
- cheap plastic used for its body, apart from the lid, which is metal;
- RGB lights flickering or randomly changing their settings;
- faulty key stone, randomly connecting and disconnecting;
- battery lasts about 2 hours without gaming but I guess that's expected given the specs.
I asked help from Amazon customer support and they asked Asus to call me and get the details of my faulty item. Amazon customer support was great, but Asus never called back.
As you can guess, I returned the item.

Ovidiu MoacaThe 17.3 inches came with a small chip on the display case. Which was very annoying due to the price of the machine.
The display borders are not aligned properly and the software that should scale the display doesn't work. I'm assuming it's a GPU issue. Black thick bars on the right and bottom side
