If we use the  ICC file, the bluecast problem will completely desappear ?

How loud exactly is it when you put it into whisper mode?

I noted several of the comments referred to the laptop not having a native DisplayPort.  The reason why Asus did not include a mini-DP port is because the standard has migrated to having Thunderbolt 3.0 support DisplayPort output to an external display:

The laptop doesn't have a native displayport therefore including it in the specs sheet is misleading. And I'm sure not all 5 USB ports are 10Gbps Gen 2 speeds.

Intel's official specs for the HM370 chipset that is used on this particular laptop's motherboard:

8 Total USB 3.1 Ports:
- Up to 4 USB 3.1 Gen 2 Ports
- Up to 8 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Ports

So, yes you are correct.  Still, 4 out of 5 ain't bad.  Not sure exactly why you would "need" all five USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports to fully support the theoretical bandwidth anyway  ;)

Way, way, waaaay too loud.

Was really hoping they wouldn't mess the refresh up.

It's a compact design gaming laptop.  There is no workaround to have this laptop run silent when gaming.  With increased size, more heatpipes, and larger fans you can have a quieter solution, but then that wouldn't be this product  ;)

Nice review - thanks!  One thing I did want to mention was that in the screenshots of the BIOS, I noticed that the BIOS version read 392, yet the most current version provided by Asus on their support website states the latest version is 303 (release date 2018/06/29).  Therefore, I'm assuming you had a pre-release version with a beta working BIOS.  You may want to update this review using the most current BIOS ;-)

It is not possible to make silent laptop with this performance and size, just use headphones while gaming :)

Way too loud, it has no Ethernet port :( sorry i'm not interested any more.

Yes, it have TPM chip. Don't forget to update your bios to 303 or later version to get better thermals. Also, order an USB Ethernet adapter with laptop, it has no Ethernet port :(

"Temperatures become critical at 100 °C/121 °F.)"

100 C is approx equal to 212 F then why 121 F ??? can anyone explain !

Does the laptop feature a TPM chip? Upgrading to Win10 Pro and enabling Bitlocker with TPM would make international travel a little safer, at least for the data.

How come that Acer Triton with 120hz display has such a slow response times?

Because only in this generation AUO and LG provide IPS displays with faster ("TN like") response time.

Acer Triton 700 is not yet refreshed with the new CPU.

"In theory, the GTX 1070 would have enough power to support 1560x1440 pixels."

Do you mean 2560x1440?
