Lots of problems with overheating,black screen and dead power bricks. The Asus TUF series with the Ryzen 7 3750h had problems with overheating and thermal throttling due to having only 2 small intake ports on the bottom that are nowhere near the fans. They quickly get up between 80c-100c+ while gaming. Asus under full benchmark load 85.5c average 101c max and throttling. HP under full benchmark load 70c average 88c max at full turbo. Heat is what kills most laptops. This is the 1 that @CW4 is talking about. It does look really really good. https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-IPS-Type-GeForce-Battery-TUF706IU-AS76/dp/B0863DFMV7/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&fst=as%3Aoff&qid=1587707462&refinements=p_n_intended_use_browse-bin%3A9647497011%2Cp_89%3AASUS%2Cp_n_size_browse-bin%3A7817234011%2Cp_n_feature_seven_browse-bin%3A18107821011%2Cp_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A18107802011&rnid=676578011&s=pc&sr=1-1&swrs=D03F9F06E1FF0BA6655F9DEC4D763720&th=1 You can order it now but it's not available until June 4, 2020 which is a little over a month from now. Asus did a complete redesign of that laptop for the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H CPU. It cools much much better than last years ASUS TUF gaming laptops. And they put a 90WHr Battery which is almost twice the size that they had in last years model. Very tough choice because the HP has a better display and much better video card but I would have to pick the Asus. The asus has a kick ass 8 core CPU,a Huge battery,larger 1tb nvme pcie ssd,a really nice low profile RGB backlit keyboard and 1 more usb port than the HP has. Really both should come with at-least 2 type C ports which neither one has. Mule 1 Awards

I actually got a referb one myself. I don't know why it was refurb... actually, it was listed as open box. I think whoever got it first, didn't like the bleedthrough on the monitor. its only 6 bit color, and had lots of edge bleed. But otherwise, it was brand new. But it stuffed the 1tb drive and 2 tb drive in it anyways. It was better than my 590 amd i believe. I have not gamed on it since i got my amd radeon 5700 though. but still... I can. Its sweet, but only 15, but i wanted the smaller footprint. Mule 1

Asus designed the ASUS TUF Gaming A17 off of the smaller Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502I which is a notebook with a decent 144hz ISP FHD 15" panel. The motherboard even has the same part # as the smaller G15 notebook. They actually put the G15 board in a larger chassis with a cheap 60hz display and overdrived or overclocked the display to get the 120hz rating and added a larger battery to take up the extra space. 1/2 the people that bought them returned them because of how horribly washed out and overly bright the display is at anything over 60hz and it's 30+ ms response time @ it's listed 120hz is absolutely horrible. And the overall build quality of the chassis and upgrade-ability is horrible. IPS-Type display lol. Another word for Generic,Made in some sweat shop in China from recycled parts? No wonder that laptop is now priced at $1099 with that awesome CPU in it. A similarly spec'ed laptop is $1700-$2000+. Asus fucked the A17 up by trying to build a sub $1200 "gaming laptop" out of a 15" Notebook. It has 1 of those damn worthless 2 in 1 Mic/Headphone jacks and only a single USB 2.0 port on the right side for a mouse. They should of atleast put a separate headphone and mic jack and a USB 3.0 port or 2 on the right side. Don't get me wrong, the Asus A17 is still a decent gaming rig but not nearly as good as it looks. @Mule needs help picking out a good wireless mouse and headset. Anyone? Mule 1 Awards
