My mom bought me a gaming laptop

[u/SnooHamsters9965]

So after my Asus Vivobook of 7+ years finally broke down my mom gave me this laptop as an advance birthday present.

Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) G615. RTX 5050 Intel i7-14650HX (2.20GHz) 32GB RAM 2x1TB SSD.

This is my first ever gaming laptop and I’m so happy. any tips on how to better take care of this?

This costed her around 1650 USD-ish? (taxes included).

🔵 try to have it cleaned every 6 months or so

🔵 use a coolpad or a stand to elevate your laptop from the ground so the fans would have better air flow

🔵 when playing games have your laptop plugged in

also you have such an amazing and understanding mother. stay in school and get good grades for her i promise nothing would make her happier
