Review: My New ASUS G635LX ... I'm a happy camper thus far! - So far, so GOOD! I've had my G635LX for just about a month now, so this review is primarily my 1st (maybe 2nd) impression. Easy to set up. install programs and import files from my desktop. In fact, my MS account made it especially quick, as it did a lot of the work automatically. I dumped the McAfee almost immediately, as I have never required anything more than Windows Defender and my properly set up ASUS GT-AC5300 router for protection. The G635LX is heavy, but considering the RTX-5090, it is what I expected. As a professional photographer, lighter is often not better, even when transportation is a factor ... it is a trade-off I'm willing to make. It is still lighter than my Nikon Z9 with 24-70mm f2.8 lens attached. The screen is gorgeous, and the GPU will run programs like Adobe Lightroom Classic without any problem ... which is a big deal for me! My old laptop, just could not handle Lightroom ... it would completely stall doing tasks that the G635LX does in seconds ... thanks to the RTX-5090. So far, the cooling works well, and I've had no issues. Also, it is not too loud, as a few others have indicated in reviews. I added a ROG Keris II Ace wireless mouse and ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova ear buds. Both synced easily using Armoury Crate, and all functions, including updates, are easy to handle. I'll review both of these accessories next. Her upgradeability is wonderful, possibly the easiest of any laptop. I can (and will) pop in an additional 4T M.2 drive soon. I've built several ASUS motherboard-based desktops over the years, and I fully enjoy their products. I also performed a BIOS update. which went as expected. Sure, there are occasionally small issues, but typically nothing I cannot figure out. I will continue giving her a full test using Lightroom, which can really extend the abilities of a GPU. And also, my favorite games (CounterStrike 2 and CyberPunk 2077), which play well thus far ... before adding to this review. Bottom line is I am quite happy with my purchase. I love the typical ASUS light shows!!
Review: Don't but this laptop. If you make such mistake, enjoy it for the short time that it lasts - Terrible pc. Stop considering this immediately! Does not perform as expected. It could potentially perform better if overclocked, but it ran so hot that it wasn't an option. Experienced display issues almost immediately and that kept happening a couple times a week. Finally, 18 months after purchase, it comes up with a BitLocker key issue, which I never turned on and have no key for. So I try to reset the whole thing altogether, which fails multiple times. I choose the 'turn off' option and now the display is gone forever. Support wasn't helpful, except to tell me I only had a 6 month warranty
