Asus ROG series

[jaeminyou]

Hello geeks, nerds & gamers

I'm planning to get a ASUS ROG-series laptop. Can you guys recommend me which model is the best in terms of portability, specs, and battery life?

(ps. my budget can go up until $1800)

Thank you!

Surprise: My bet is --> The one that comes closest to your 1800$ price range.

do have to have a laptop? They're a waste of money in my honest opinion and never age well. If you could manage with even an its, the build will perform better and last longer whilst offering upgradability

Asus ROG series are subpar to anything on the market today. There is literally no reason to ever get one unless it's HEAVILY discounted (by hundreds of dollars).

Yes, I need it. I'll be starting college next year to do my IB diploma. After 2 years, I'll go to the US and start my major courses. So, building a PC won't be necessary at this current situation. I've had a talk with my parents, and they said I can purchase any product I want. What do you think about the latest 1060 GTX Razer Blade?

^ don't take it from me, take it from Razer fan boys who love the laptop. Even for them there's a bit too many problems with it.

and that is what makes it funny. Razer fanboys can be insane when they defend Razer products, but here they also think this is too much.

I'm not really a huge fan of razer, but I personally think they make some quality products.

Well, I have to take the IGCSEs then move on to IB. Pretty peculiar system
