Review on Portable ASUS XG17AHP with Adaptive Sync, Micro HDMI, 17.3-inch Display, 1920X1080P, 240Hz Refresh Rate, Flicker-Free, Eye Care and HD Quality by Pratap Rothstein

Good screen, but the battery is annoying.

This review is dedicated to the XG16AHPE. The battery needs to be charged in order to be used, even if your laptop is powering and charging it. This makes it more difficult to use compared to no battery at all, as you now have to constantly make sure it's charged. The extra money for the battery is not worth it. When I tried it for the first time, the screen would turn on for a second and then disappear, showing 58% battery. After 10 minutes it still did but said 16% battery. I charged it with the AC adapter and it finally started showing videos while my laptop was charging it. After several hours of connection to my laptop, the battery only reached 60%. I assume it just stopped loading. The power button also seems very finicky. I had to press it multiple times every time I wanted to turn it on. Additional Notes: USB-C video didn't work with my Google Pixel 5 phone or Nintendo Switch. Not sure what it should be, but just FYI. HDMI worked when connected to a Switch dock.
