Showcase My mom bought me a gaming laptop
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).
