Conclusion
Now coming to the conclusion, let's ask the real question is the laptop worth it at this price range?? Let's conclude by listing some of the attractive features like the Intel 512 GB SSD, RGB keyboard, 120 hz Display etc. Although there are some few cons, but we need to ask our self do the pros outweigh the cons and are the cons really a deal breaker, as we are getting these specifications at such a great price point, which we would never have imagined a couple of years back. So it is really a great deal if one can get it at sale, for the original price there are much better alternatives out there. If you have a fixed budget then wait for a sale and you can go for it. You can try waiting for some more GTX 1650 laptops, but as Asus have very aggressive pricing it is a great deal.
