  They need to make that screen edge to edge

  ...and once it is, with an inflated price, what would you complain about then?

  Yelling at clouds is the next logical step.

  Maybe it's just me, but that lift-up-the-chassis mechanism when the screen is opened (to provide additional cooling/airflow and hot-surface standoff/isolation regardless of what surface the laptop is on, or how it's being held), strikes me as really neat and clever. Kind of shocking, in retrospect, that nobody had thought of such a thing until now. A mark of legit innovation, I suppose. Kudos to ASUS!

  Still shitty screens with shitty aspect ratio.
  
  OLED and 16:10 should be better.

  It's 2018. Please just quietly give up on seeing anything other than 16:9 on gaming systems.

  256 GB SSD for a $2K machine is laughable.

  You not a 1 GbE controller, but no RJ45 port seems to exist on this laptop? WiFi or dongles only?

  It includes a switch between Optimus and G-Sync which requires reboot. Should be great for battery. Sadly it is not present in refreshed GX501GI.

  Gsync means no Optimus means terrible battery life... oh well. Maybe in 10 years we'll have a truly well rounded gaming laptop
