  Very good performance with newly somewhat too loud fans and too much bloatware.

  Thanks to i7-7770, DDR4, a GTX-1080 as well as a new M.2 SSD and USB3.1, the new generation of the ROG G20 offers good performance for games.
  
  Unfortunately, the fan is almost too loud for the living room compared to the previous generation of the G20, even though the i7-7700 actually tolerates higher temperatures and requires fewer watts. This could also be a software bug that is still being fixed, because the fan settings are currently ignored.
  
  Particularly negative is the bloatware contamination (MCAfee, ASUS Giftbox, ASUS WebStorage, ASUS HiPost, Device Setup, WPS Office for ASUS and much more...) even the LiveUpdate was newly classified as a security risk because everything runs over unencrypted HTTP and no authenticity checks take place.
  
  It is also not understandable why ASUS recommends WIndows 10 Pro but then installed Windows 10 Home!
  
  In addition, the DDR4 performance specifications were not correct, there are only DDR4-2400Mhz (2x1200Mhz) in it instead of DDR4-2800Mhz (2x1400Mhz) as stated by ASUS and Digitec. more
