Brand new Asus Rog Laptop.
With an absolutely beautiful outlier of RGB lighting (fades to another color every second).
There are absolutely no defects, no damages and no performance and cosmetic issues.

Laptop comes with the following specs:
- 16 GB Ram.
- 512GB PCIE SSD.
- Intel core i7 9th gen.
- Nvidia 1650 GPU (Graphics Card).
- Bluetooth.
- audio jack with 3 USB slots as well as an ethernet jack and hdmi port.

The charger is in brand new mint condition as well.

(EXTRA NOTE THIS LAPTOP DOES NOT HAVE A WEBCAM).

Has three primary modes:
#1. Silent
#2. Performance
#3. Turbo

Silent mode is quiet and should be used as the main mode, you can still play intensive games on this mode but not at high graphic settings.

Performance mofe is what it says and is the gamer mode when you want to play games at its optimal or high settings, you can hear the fan speed run quite moderately on this mode.

Turbo mode is where everything runs full blast, I've never used this but this is probably used in short bursts where you need a very powerful machine to complete a task for a few minutes.

The fan noise can be irritating but it isn't as bad as I thought it was.

The air ventilation on this machine is superb 👌
However I must also point out that both the mic and audio sucks, its okay and its very audible but for a gaming rig I expected better.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to message me :)

Price: $1,500
