5.0 out of 5 stars Fast and efficient laptop for on the go gaming
Previous review on here seems to be from somoene with little to no hands on experience of the product as all of the key points are remedied by one simple software that’s pre-installed on the unit.
This laptop comes with a choice of coloured inserts which is basic customisation but was a weelcome feature as I am not a huge fan of the red and much prefer the silver. The sword slash sound of turning the laptop on can be disabled with the pre-installed software with a single click of a button. Through the display settings you also choose which graphics to use for the native HDMI and this also allows you to set the surround sound options fully.
Build quality of this laptop is superb and their is very little movement in the case or its materials so they have done a great job with the overall build quality. This laptop can get a little warm and can sound a little loud when running something graphically intensive, I was regularly running high end games such as the PS4/5 Spiderman on power and also on battery. The battery life can be a little dissapointing if you are running something so intensive on full screen brightness however I was able to get a full 2 hour flights worth of gameplay by dimming the screen to half and it still looked beautiful. The flight mode also drastically helps your playtime and safety when flying.
From a hardware perspective the RAM could be improved however on windows 11 this laptop holds strong and the image quality from the screen is beautiful and smooth. The bloatware software on this laptop is suprisingly thin compared to other higher end devices and the only real software you get with this is the ASUS Specific frontend thats used to control the RGB Lighting and the startup sound among other tweaks such as fan speed control and volumes. The quick shortcut keys are super handy on this model as well.
Overall it’s a decent unit for the price point and a good solid choice for a workhorse or powerhouse in a portable shell. I do a lot of travelling and as a videogame content and asset developer myself it is nice to have something this hardy and lightweight yet so powerful and swift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value to performance ratio
Love this laptop top, great battery life for office work and amazing gaming capabilities. I did up grade the RAM(Corsair Vengence) but think my unit already had okay RAM as I didn’t see much improvement. Also added a second HD – 2TB M.2 drive, great to upgrade options. WiFi is next although I find it okay tbh. Highly recommend. 👍

2.0 out of 5 stars The perfect laptop ruined by some silly design decisions
Reviewing G513QY-HQ008W
I am not going to praise this laptop as I agree with the positive aspects mentioned on the five star reviews, I am just going to state the things that are horribly wrong with this laptop that made it a deal breaker for me:
1. The HDMI port does not connect straight to the GPU and it’s NOT 2.1. That means you don’t get high refresh rates, which I could live with. What I absolutely cannot live with is that the HDMI doesn’t do sound passthrough to your sound system, you only get stereo sound out of it, it is impossible to change it so you get surround sound out of it. My 6 year old laptop gets me 5.1 out of the HDMI cable, and this one doesn’t. Big no no for me this one. Why would you think is okay to have an HDMI port that doesn’t do surround sound in this day and age?
2. The ram that everyone else has been telling about is not dual rank, therefore if you want to get the full power out of the laptop you will need to upgrade it. I heard newer models had sorted this out, I guess not. So add at least 60 pounds to the cost of this laptop
3. The slashing sword sound it makes when it boots, not a huge deal as I know you can probably disable it, but man it’s annoying.
4. This model is 50 pounds cheaper in the Asus website at the time of this writing, not a huge deal, but still a bit annoying

3.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Laptop – Just not for my purposes
I bought this from Amazon Warehouse at an absolute bargain. Over 60% discount than if you bought new.
The specs lived up to expectations, upgrading it to have extra ram and ssd space was easy, despite reviews of having to be careful about the cabling. (Which you do, but there’s enough room you don’t have to disconnect the wires to get access to the ssd or ram)
However…
I bought this laptop primarily because AMD are very generous with their GPU VRAM. 12gb of vram is a big upgrade from my previous 6gb. HOWEVER. I need this VRAM for AI technologies and modelling. What I didn’t know, prior to my purchase, is that AMD is sorely lacking in support for such tools. This laptop falls square into the territory of the many unsupported AMD gpus. Sadly. After 3 days of trial and error, I returned it. Additionally, my emulating tools for mobile were broken too. So I was ill-prepared to step into the world of AMD. It’s back to Nvidia for me.
If you’re interested in purely gaming, go for it. It should probably be fine.
I’m also a little worried about sturdiness due to the thin lid and thin frame, feels a little accident prone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great value for money !
Great performance, would definitely recommend if your budget is low, its bang for your buck. Upgraded ram to a low density one and bought faster SSD, you could upgrade WiFi as well, all those upgrades wont cost you much and you can compete with 3070 and 3080 laptops which are more expensive.
