Eh, I’ll very thoroughly look up customer reviews outside amazon before buying anything from Asus. I have a GL702 laptop that heats up like a fucking stove, has the flimsiest cooling system and, to top it off, causes intense screen tearing when running hot. I keep expecting the screen to die from excessive heat exposure any time I’m playing.
I have the same model. It crashes all the time due to some kind of cpu bug. Also sleep mode stopped working after linux kernel 5.10. Asus, never again.
Oh yeah, reminds me that you can’t spin the fans to the max (~10kRPM) under linux. I had to download a package off github, asus-fan-control, to make it stop frying itself
I use NBFC for that and never had any problem with the fans. They’re probably the best working part of that system - at least you can always reliably hear them! This thing is loud af.

My dad and aunt have used Zenbooks and Vivobooks for years without issue. Maybe the ROG lineup aren’t as durable?
