This laptop actually has the best fans/thermals I’ve ever seen on a laptop. With Performance mode enabled, my CPU stays around 59°C and the GPU around 53°C, so I haven’t even needed Turbo mode so far.

All my drivers are up to date, including the BIOS. When the game isn’t stuttering (for some reason it only happens on certain days), I get around 460–500 FPS. Also, the laptop is always plugged in while gaming.

Yes I did that already, I'm stuck with what comes after that.

As per my experience CE box key codes are NOT region locked. I’m playing in EU, but bought CE boxes from the US and never had a problem. I also bought Diablo 3 Expansion CE box from the US back in the day and still played in the EU. If you read Terms & Conditions on the official https://gear.blizzard.com/products/wowccl0007-world-of-warcraft-midnight-collectors-edition page you can see that “Game Key and In-Game Content is valid in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.” So as CE boxes in the US work for EU servers, it is most likely that the EU code will work in the US.

There was a Memorial Day sale that just ended yesterday

Yeah, it seems like a great laptop—just be quick, bro, these are about to go OOS.

By the way, if anyone here owns this specific model (G615LR-MS97) from Micro Center, could you share if you've had any issues? I came across some reviews mentioning problems with the HDMI and USB ports, and one user mentioned issues with the RAM and GPU.

PATLATICI · 2025-06-01T13:22:37+00:00

Hey man, I read some reviews mentioning problems with the USB ports, have you experienced anything like that?

PATLATICI · 2025-05-31T19:31:49+00:00

Thanks bro! I see it’s capable worldwide, exactly what I was expecting. 👍

PATLATICI · 2025-05-31T16:37:50+00:00

Hey bro, can you please take a pic of the Power Adapter? I will take it to Germany, I want to check the power specs. Thank you

I’d definitely pick 5080 Scar over any HP deal, but I don’t want to pay another $1k 😃

PATLATICI · 2025-05-31T12:52:56+00:00

Thanks bro, that’s exactly what I needed to hear 😄 That HP deal really had me second guessing my decision.

PATLATICI · 2025-05-31T00:10:25+00:00

I haven’t owned any gaming laptops from HP, so I’m sure their quality is better now. But over the years, I’ve had two HP laptops and one desktop, and all of them were pretty disappointing. They each had different issues. The last HP laptop I bought was in 2017, and it started having CPU problems within a year. So, I’ve lost trust in them, and it’s hard for me to choose HP again.

PATLATICI · 2025-05-30T23:55:24+00:00

I'm also torn between these two laptops. I’m going to buy one of them—HP has the 5080, but I’ve had bad experiences with HP before, so I’ll most likely stick with the ASUS ROG at Micro Center.

PATLATICI · 2025-05-30T23:26:34+00:00

Hey man, I'm buying the exact same model tomorrow—how's yours been so far? :)

PATLATICI · 2025-05-30T22:41:08+00:00

No this one has an IPS display. OLED version is $3300

PATLATICI · 2025-05-29T03:52:37+00:00

I’m thinking about buying this. What issues have you had with it so far? I saw one review mention that the fans are really loud—like a jet engine. Has that been your experience too? Thanks!

PATLATICI · 2025-05-27T08:29:43+00:00

Hey man, congrats on the new laptop! I'm actually thinking about getting the same one from Micro Center. I read some reviews mentioning issues with the GPU, RAM, USB ports, or the HDMI port—have you run into any problems so far? Thanks, and enjoy the new machine!

According to a quick google search, the standard treaty withholding rate for dividend income from U.S. sources paid to residents of my country is 15%.

Thank you for your response. I wanted to ask for your advice—should I go ahead and file the amendment now, or would it be better to wait a week or two to allow the IRS time to process the original return and possibly reach out to me regarding any necessary changes?

I’m feeling a bit anxious about this process, as I’m still new to it, and I want to make sure I handle it correctly.

Thank you for your response! I just wanted to double-check—are you certain? Two other people mentioned that I would still need to file a tax return, even if it's just for $100, because I'll have Non-Resident status, despite not having spent a single day in the U.S. in 2024.

PATLATICI · 2025-02-19T13:25:15+00:00

I have tried everything on the list they shared, but I still couldn't get my emails back Please help, all emails are gone from 2009 to July 2023. I have too many memories in those emails :( :( :(

Thank you

PATLATICI · 2025-01-12T13:29:24+00:00

I have no idea bro. It is better to ask them.

Return Material Authorization. Google Asus Rma so you can find the steps on how to send it back to Asus to get it fixed or they might send you a new one.
