Troubleshooting
System feels warm during high-load tasks
Ensure the laptop is placed on a flat, hard surface to allow maximum airflow into the bottom intake vents.
Wi-Fi connection drops or is unstable

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your device, ensure you are connected to a stable Wi-Fi 6 network during the initial Windows configuration to download all necessary security patches. When optimizing the system, utilize the pre-installed ASUS software to monitor thermal performance and update drivers regularly. For maintenance, keep the ventilation grilles clear of dust by using compressed air periodically, as the high-performance components generate significant heat during operation. Avoid using the laptop on soft surfaces like beds or thick carpets, which can obstruct airflow into the underside intake vents, potentially causing the system to warm up faster than intended.
