I can report that this does not have the USBC issues thank goodness, but the jury still out on whether I'm going to keep this one.
On paper, the specs are great, in reviews this post some very impressive benchmark times, but In actual use something's just not right.
While it seems to render 4k videos very quickly, it seems to be laggy just doing normal things like browsing the internet..
Editing a timeline on DaVinci is also very jerky unless the laptops plugged in and cranked up to full performance.
This is kind of opposite of what the Lenovo was since it seemed to be quick no matter what power mode the laptop was in.
If you look through the q&a on Best buy's website, somebody asked about the maximum storage size, and ASUS official replies "4TB per slot", it used to say on Asus website 4tb purslot as well, well I bought a 4 TB hard drive to install in the second slot on this, and it didn't recognize it. After chatting with customer support, they now say it's only 2tb per slot. They've since edited their own website, but they cannot edit that Best buy description. So pretty big bummer I can't put a bigger hard drive in this thing.
Going on to the rest of it, the build quality seems good
The 4K screen is fantastic, and the 60 Hertz has not bothered me at all
Speakers are good but not great, little bit tingy
The keyboard is fantastic
Battery life is better than Lenovo I tried, but not great, in full power saving mode, 6 hours of just playing around.
But only about 3 hours if I'm actually editing 4K videos using DaVinci.
I'm currently trying to install a few games on there just to see what it'll actually play. I'll report back.
I really just wanted a good all-around laptop for editing videos, work, browsing, and a little bit of gaming on breaks. And I wanted to do most of that unplugged and last about 3 hours minimum.
It had to have a touch screen, and I wanted much higher than FHD. Maybe a 2K, 3K minimum. The 4K was a huge plus.
Ideally, a gaming laptop would be great, but I've not seen any that are touch screen. And a lot of those gaming laptops are just FHDs.
If anybody has any recommendations, I'm all ears.
I've got an "ASUS Q540 Creator" laptop with a 3050 "gaming card" in it. Creator. 3050. Not gaming.
Better to know what exactly you're talking about, first.

Truer words. I'm looking at it for design. And motion graphics. Using a legacy 4K Alienware R17 with a 1080 gpu. Picked it up used. Been a good workhorse. This however for the GPU and the color space for the panel. Might be a nice change of pace. I also agree. This is not really a gamer laptop. It's a designers laptop.

Exactly. You could post a $200 Chromebook and someone would be complaining about refresh rate and that the screen wasn't 1000 nits.

What was the usbc issue?

First one was a Lenovo slim pro 9i from some eBay refurbished seller. The laptop arrived literally with the guts of the USBC missing. Look like it was completely melted in there. Returned
The laptop was nice, so I decided by the exact same laptop directly from Lenovo, still refurbished though.
This one had a fully interacted USB-C, but it was completely inop. Wouldn't recognize any device I plugged into it no matter what, the same devices worked in all my other computers. I bought all new cables at their request, troubleshot it for like 2 weeks, ended up returning it.
So I figured maybe it was just the older model issues, or perhaps that it was refurbished. So I bought a brand new yoga pro 9i 4060 from Lenovo directly, Best buy pickup.
Literally during setup, with a laptop not having left my countertop yet, the power button broke off inside the chassis on the 6th push. I was going to keep it, I contacted Lenovo to have it fixed, but they said that because it had only been 2 days I had to go through after sales support for replacement instead, cool I get a brand new laptop right?. Well after sales support said because it was a Best buy pickup, my only option was to return, they could not replace. So back to Best buy.
I will note, I did try to test the USBC on this and while it was functional, it still did not recognize either of my external SSDs
All the ports on the ASUS work perfectly.
For example I have a two terabyte crucial external SSD. Works in every single computer I have, but when I plugged it into the Lenovo, you'd hear a beep. But nothing would happen for like 30 seconds. Then an error pop up that the USB device has malfunctioned. If you go to device manager it would say that the port reset had failed. I'd also get an error and plugging in an Android device to transfer videos from my phone to the laptop.
Again all these exact same devices with the exact same cables work in every single other computer and laptop I have

I'm wondering if it's your specific laptop. I'm only on week 2, but asides from battery life, I'm really happy so far. Speakers are fantastic for a laptop (I am picky about sound), no lag in light use, fans are pretty quiet in whisper mode, screen is gorgeous, and build quality seems to be up there, near thinkpad levels. I haven't tried gaming on it, but considering I have a 4090 in the desktop, I just want it to be able to run casual games on the road. My only concern is buyers remorse setting in whenever Strix Halo laptops arrive.
Also, I ordered "open box excellent", and the laptop itself was still wrapped in original inner box. Only the outer box had been opened.

I've been experimenting with Windows mode whisper mode, and standard mode. Very minor differences between them.
But if I go to control panel, battery mode. If I put it into when on battery mode use performance things seem super fast, but then the battery usage drop's from 6 hours down to 1 lol.
I Feel like the window settings are fighting against the ASUS Pro-Art settings

Dell Precision 7760 came with 4K with 120hz. Laptop was released in 2021. That is a workstation laptop and is top of the line.
