Big Laptop, no Numpad. Make sure you don't need it before going with this.
To Confirm Later/Extra Notes:
Update: These were due to AMD iGPU recent drivers. Roll back iGPU drivers if having issues.
Some reviews mention BSOD so expect some troubled days until Asus sends out a BIOS update.
This doesn't seem to be an issue with the newer models.
Burnt motherboard issue might have been fixed on 2025 models.
Older 2023 and 2024 Asus ROG Models started to burn around a screw on the motherboard.
I am unsure if they bothered fixing the issue in newer models but you do consider this laptop.
GizmoSliptech on Youtube said they seem to have fixed it on the newer motherboards and on 2023 and 2024 you can apply anti-static tape and you don't seem to need it on newer models, however, getting ADP is mandatory with this laptop.

96 ROP is for the desktop version. Need to confirm how much is it for the laptop version.
Update: This is with two repalcement unit and two new units so it doesn't seem like an old software issue.
Update: Might have been due to an older version of GPU-Z but Nvidia did ship lower ROP 5070Ti on the desktop side so this might have it. Already looking into this.
80ROPs instead of 96ROPs for the 5070Ti. I just found this out and looking into this to find out what it actually means, most likely reduced performance of the 5070Ti. If only the youtubers had bothered to get this laptop as a review instead of the laptops that cost more than a car.
Summary
How much are you willing to sacrifice for that 5070Ti?
12GB VRAM for cheap. There literally isn't any other laptop giving 12GB VRAM 5070Ti at the price this laptop is being sold at(Rs.180k on Amazon or $1500 on best-buy).
Great CPU and GPU performance out of this laptop.
CPU and display are just okay for the price considering that most money went into the 5070Ti
Some advertisement pictures are false like numpad on touchpad, per key RGB.
Don't expect great battery life just because it has 90Whr battery. The battery reports are verying wildly with some not getting 1 hour and a few getting 4 on minimum workloads.
Pros/Cons
Pros
CPU: 8940HX: Same old same old
CPU performs the same as the old 7940HX (+2.5%) and is behind the Intel 275HX by 10% (short burts burn the laptop down power mode)
In case someone starts comparing, it's double the perofmrnace of a 8845HS.
Single Core performance is the same as last year and not high like the newer Zen 5 CPUs 9955HX.
92% of maximum perofrmance when CPU is limited to 85°C at 110W
GPU performs to it's maximum.
Great performance for the price.
Good sound.
TWo RAM slots and two SSD slots: one Gen 4 and other Gen 5
Minimum flex. Strong Body.
Colorful RGB for the barbie girls out there.
Neutral
Neutral Good
One USB 4 with 40Gbps and DP out.
Good keyboard.
Keybaord remaiins cool even in longer usages
Neutral Dosen't matter
90Whr Battery→ Doesn't matter as it's HX CPU and people who have this laptop arent' able to get more than an hour anyway.
Usable camera
Battery backup is what you expect from such a powerful laptop. If you try a lot of things and under very light load, you might squeeze in 4 hours but realistically it's a laptop to be used while plugged in.
Neutral Bad
Even though 1200p screen on 16" is pretty good, other brands are giving higher resolution screen but they are usually more expensive.
IPS display when OLED is available in other models but they are usually more expensive.
Laptop is never silent. There will always be some noise.
When connecting via external display the keyboard surface can get warm to touch so use extenral keybaord when using external monitor.
Large 16A plug with laptop. You will need a connector
Build has rough edges(literally)
In some markets the RAM is populated as 8+8.
Not per key RGB as might have been shown in pictures.
No toucupad numpad as might have been shown in picutres.
Cons
If you do no tuning and run CPU heavy workload, it will sustain at 95°C however it comes down to 85°C while stil giving decent performance.
Big laptop, no numpad.
Dull Diplay: Low Brigtness, IPS, 1200p, no HDR or such.
CPU stress only: 115W power, 86°C stable. (Hits max 130W at 95°C but stabilizes around 110W)
Dual stress (CPU+GPU, 20min): CPU 69°C, GPU 66°C, CPU 56W, GPU 133W.
GPU
5070Ti - 5080 is 28% faster.
TimeSpy: 17782 (Graphics), 11201 (CPU), 16341 (Total)
Video editing (GPU load): HEVC encode 27.5s → fastest among 5070 Ti laptops tested.
Office workload (spreadsheet): weak. 27–37% slower than Intel U9, 27% slower than same CPU in TUF.
Thermals & Noise
CPU-only stress: 132W → 112W after 20min, ~83°C.
CPU+GPU stress: CPU ~56W / 70°C, GPU ~130W / 71°C.
GPU-only stress: 130W, 68°C.
Noise: ~57–61 dB. Just “whoosh” fan noise, no whining.
Heat: wrist rest stays fine.
Gaming (2K, highest settings):
Assassin's Creed Valhalla: ~110 fps (normal for 5070 Ti).
Forza Horizon 5: ~115 fps. Outperforms MSI Titan with same GPU. With DLSS + Frame Gen → 164 fps.
Tomb Raider: ~151 fps. 22% below laptop 5080, but fine.
Valorant: very high fps, as expected.
WoT: matches MSI's result.
CS2: crashes.
