Can it run modern games at high settings?

Only older or lighter titles. The GTX 1650 handles 1080p at medium settings in most current games, and demanding titles need low settings for smooth frame rates.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

Yes. It has two SO-DIMM slots and two M.2 slots, so you can add memory and a second SSD yourself.

Is the display good for gaming?

The 144 Hz option gives smooth motion in fast shooters. Colors and brightness are adequate but not suited to color-critical work.

How is it different from the G531GW?

The GW version uses a stronger RTX GPU for higher settings and ray tracing. This GTX 1650 model is the entry option and costs less for the same chassis and CPU.

Is it good for school or office work?

Yes for performance, but it is heavy and has short battery life, so it suits students who keep it on a desk more than commuters.

What comes in the box?

The laptop, power adapter and documentation. No mouse or headset is included.

About the ASUS ROG Strix G G531GT-BQ165T Gaming Laptop, Intel Core i7-9750H

The ROG Strix G G531GT is a 15.6-inch gaming laptop built around Intel's Core i7-9750H and a GeForce GTX 1650. It targets 1080p gaming at medium to high settings and everyday work, with a 144 Hz display option, RGB keyboard lighting and ASUS's self-cleaning cooling fans. It is heavier and less premium than thin-and-light rivals, but it offers more upgrade room and ports than budget ultrabooks. Reviewers rate its performance and keyboard well and note the GTX 1650 limits it to modest settings in demanding titles.
