I’ve got a 980M in mine, still running great.
I used to dream about getting an Alienware back then. Totally forgot how much they weighed, though!
I always admired these in stores. Funny how my mid-range laptop with a 30-series GPU outperforms it now.
I love those monster laptops with desktop GPUs. My Asus ROG with a desktop 1070 and 32GB RAM is still a beast.
I’m still using my Alienware with SLI 280Ms. It’s 15 pounds but still kicking.
I miss when gaming laptops looked unique, not like the black rectangles they are now.

You’re in the minority there. My back and my boardroom meetings don’t miss those days.

I’m talking aesthetics, not weight! It’s not the laptop’s fault if it’s being used for purposes it wasn’t meant for.

I still use this model. It’s impossible to find a bag that fits it, though.

Same! I could never find a good laptop bag for it.
Nice. It’s so ugly, I love it.
Went from a 9-pound Dell Precision to a lightweight Gigabyte Aorus 15P. Huge difference!
Still rocking the 970M version of this laptop after 8 years. 
Where do you get an ROG Ally with a PC? Please share!

Check the Canadian Asus website. I think the deal was until December 19th.
This reminds me of the good old days. Buying a G14 and getting an ROG Ally sounds like the deal of the year.

Yeah, that’s how I got mine! It’s the Ally Z1 Extreme, crazy good deal.
How happy are you with the ROG Ally? Did you buy it, or was it just part of a bundle?
Does that laptop really deserve an Energy Star sticker?
