What's Not to Love?

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2017

I've read every review I could find on this product before purchase, and I could only find these concerns:
1. The fans (actually the air flow) were noisy when running very high end games
2. The video card has 3 GB memory, and is not 6 GB which is available on that specific card
3. While the some upgrading (more RAM) is possible, the video card cannot be upgraded because it is customized for this device
4. Therefore, if you plan to run the next generation of games (especially VR), or a 4k monitor, it may have some limitations
That said, I bought this computer for my current needs, not what I might want to do in the distant future. It is perfect for today's games and office needs. It is virtually silent. It is extraordinarily fast, especially for downloads. It is surprisingly small, and will fit anywhere. ASUS products, in my experience, are very high quality, and this computer is no exception.

ABSOLUTE BEST MINI PC on the MARKET, at least on AMAZON

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2017

I am a computer expert, and love great powerful parts in the computer. This computer, specifically the one with the SSD drive and the i7-7700 processor is the best of the PC lineup. The reason you want this machine is that in modern times we have many graphic intensive programs, and even videos. Everything runs perfectly smooth on this PC. This is because the graphics card is one of the top of the line, has enough Ram and speed to satisfy most programs. Next is the handy SSD drive, SSD is about 10-20x faster than regular hard drive in read speeds, so your programs run faster. What this computer does is that it removes any bottlenecks a computer to have, and gives you a well-rounded PC experience, which other manufacturers don't do. I also love the form factor that it takes a lot less space, I was able to fit it in the smallest of spaces. I used to buy laptops with external monitor output because of the limited space as a regular desktop was just way too large. However, laptops don't have the same power and graphics desktops can have. I also use 3 MONITORS with this desktop. It also has BLUETOOTH, which is awesome as I am able to connect my bluetooth, it is just not written in the description here. I also like that it has a ton of USB ports of the highest speeds possible 3.0 and 3.1 versions! BUY THIS PC, I recommend the one with the i7-7700 512GB SD 12GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 1060!

Perfect for entertainment system.

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2017

After watching a few reviews of this computer I bought it. My purpose is for a small form factor but powerful computer for my entertainment system. This computer works perfectly for that purpose, it delivers my 7.1 surround sound to my Onkyo receiver and full set of Klipsch speakers and sub, drives my 65 inch TV at 4K. The computer is very fast and is quiet for what I ask of it, probably not quiet during gaming though. The Aura lighting is a great feature too. Whether I stream movies, watch DVD's or listen to my 12,500 songs from the drive it fits the bill quite nicely. Asus always produces great computers and components.

The RoG GR8 II is an AMAZING piece of hardware that is being negatively impacted by poor product support.

I can play all of my games on extreme settings, can edit in After Effects, Premiere, and Illustrator simultaneously, and have plenty of storage for the things I do, which is utterly fantastic for the price point, but I've owned the machine for over a month and there HASN'T ONE SINGLE UPDATE; the AURA stays on when you shut the computer off, sometimes it simply won't return from sleep mode, etc. These little firmware ticks have really bugged me, and not seeing one bug fix on a new product since its release is a little disheartening, hence the drop from 5 to 4 stars.

Buy if you want an amazing deal on the power to tackle anything you can think of, but just be wary of continued product support.

I bought this as a iMac replacement.

I don’t know how to review this. I didn’t buy it for gaming so I can’t rate it on that. I will say it’s a super fast and stable Windows 10 PC that runs Adobe creative suite blazingly fast and that’s what I needed. I bought this as a iMac replacement for creative projects and have it paired with an LG 27" 4K monitor. I can't be happier.

It looks Amazing.

Awesomeness! Design looks modern and stylish. No problems so far. Although, I wish I had waited a little more time because I saw the bundle pack that includes the Asus Rog Gladius II. Also, I hope Asus will listen and release the Asus Rog Pugio. That's a very well designed mouse. It looks Amazing.
