Asus ROG G16- This is a great laptop,

I have to admit, the next best thing about getting this laptop is the reaction of my 15yo when he found out it has the Nvidia 5070 graphics card. He almost sh!t a brick, and there was a palpable satisfaction in denying him permission to play minecraft to test it out. (However, I offered to let him watch a movie with me instead, an equally valid testing medium, which he declined.)

Like any good parent, i pointed out a good way to get more "yes"s from the adults you're stuck with, is to be less selfish with what you request. Example, Teen- "can I play minecraft?" Mom- "No I don't like that game, but I'm thinking about getting into playing Fortnite" Teen- *pout*
Correction suggested, "mom, can I download fortnite and play a round with the character after you do your build? " Heck yeah, you can!

This is a great laptop, and the perfect surface upon which to rest it is my naked cat, Cleo. She loves toasty things, yet this laptop has not yet gotten overheated. I got several heat sinks added, so ideally it will not be a problem, ever...

Currently using the laptop to social post from my couch, but winning that sweet gaming gear would be the perfect finale.

So far it's really good for what I got it for.
Need a better setup tho.

My apologies for the late response but I've been in lala land surfing through my new exotic PC and it's amazing thanks Xotic 🙂‍↕️

I spent weeks looking at configs on different custom builder sites like Digital Storm, Falcon Northwest, etc. Out of all these companies Xotic had the most powerful components I could find... "combination-wise." Here's the config: NVIDIA 5090 GPU; AMD 9800X3d; CORSAIR VENGEANCE 96GB 6000 MT/s CL 30 RAM; MSI Godlike Motherboard; Samsung 9100 PRO SSD; Lian Li fans; Liquid-cooling for CPU.

I'm a hard-core gamer with money to spend, so I went for the gusto obviously.

I own a $2k Lenovo Legion PC with a 4070 Super and a PS5 PRO. This PC from Xotic outperforms both by a long shot in terms of FPS, lack of lag/stuttering during gameplay, and loading times.

I also really appreciate the fact that the staff at Xotic actually answer their phone AND your questions during their business hours...consistently!

Thanks Xotic for a badass PC!

Love options of custom builds very good quality supreme choices of features and spec's will see how this PC works and how long it lasts longer than expected
