Asus rog laptops have high pitched, loud fans that run while idle.

The trackpad is also terrible.

I have a ROG Strix (12th gen intel) and no whine. Been using WSL so far but need to try again to see how well Linux runs on it.

Overall, its been a solid machine so far and had sufficient battery life for me to program on flights half-way across the US without concern. My only regrets are I wish the thunderbolt port used the integrated gpu (never need discrete and sometimes windows gets stuck switching) and no webcam.

How long do you think you can get out of the battery life? IIRC they advertise 7-8 hours

I've not really tested it besides it working for me flying between Austin and Portland.

It depends on the model, for instance, G15 2021 doesn't have this problem.
