2021 ASUS ROG Strix G17 G713QM-ES94 Enthusiast (AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 16GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, RTX 3060 6GB, 17.3" FHD 144Hz, Windows 10) Gaming Notebook

The wait time was long but I have to say it was definitely worth it. Safely arrived at my destination, in pristine condition along with the Free, insulated, Stainless Steel, 16oz bottle (nice little bonus).Packaging was great and I was on the phone with some people from Excalibur PC for another model before it got sold out and they were very good to me. Granted I read horror-stories about their customer service but I was very surprised with how nicely they dealt with me.The only little thing I would have liked Asus to include with this build was a cheap USB webcam (since this doesn't have a built-in webcam).Honestly happy with my purchase for the price that I was able to get it for (it was one hell of a deal).I advice people to give Excalibur PC a chance but if you're in Florida and ordering; expect a long enough wait time as it gets Fedex'd your way (free Fedex ground shipping too)

No num lock indicator? Really? Asus support honestly expects you to hit num lock and try typing (then hit it again if it was on, but you didn't know it) to see if numbers come out every-F*****G-time you use it because they couldn't be bothered to put a light on it like the caps lock button. Or some other indicator like every other keyboard made by every other company. I've had num lock on in one browser tab, then switch to another (or another app) and proceed to key in a series of numbers only to see nothing entered. Or the cursor moved to some random location. I finally downloaded Numlocker and just disabled the button entirely so num lock stays on permanently. WTF. I never even thought this would be a concern. Other than that annoyance the laptop has been great to use. Waiting on a game controller to do more gaming. Graphics on what little gaming I've done were excellent. It lasts most of a day unplugged with it going to sleep with the lid closed or after a period of inactivity, and light use. Wakeup time is so fast I don't even care that it isn't always on, even when plugged in. Lift lid, swipe up on the touchpad, enter password, and it's back up.

You cannot disable the ATI built-in graphics. I spent hours working on this, using the laptop display, using an HDMI cord, switching settings in the Nvidia control panel, updating drivers, switching settings in the Armoury Crate, searching for any Bios settings, scouring forum posts, etc. The Nvidia GPU spikes every now and then, lagging the screen. I get better performance with my ancient GL-702. Not sure what the issue is here, but I would very much avoid the Strix G17.
