Asus are a nightmare. 
For some of us at least 
… So not recommending them. Put it this way, there’s a good reason you can find ROG for sale for cheap. 
Overall, Asus have the worst rep on the UE forums imho, based on posts from the UDK era, UE4 and UE5 now. So 3 generations of game tech. Suggestion: Go ahead, do a search…See if you are able to find as many complaints about any other brand. 
Had much better luck with Acer & Omen. Nothing amazing in terms of specs. But they still work after 5 years. An Acer Predator GPU here just died (RTX-2070 ). But that was after 5 years of medium workload. And will still get use out of the built-in Intel graphics for a while.
Had the most luck so far with Omen overall. That’s after 5 years of heavy workload. Such a pity Omen don’t seem to make the OmenX range anymore. OmenX is a hybrid VR PC (fully portable). It fits neatly into a backpack. But you need access to a TV or VR headset at destination locations to use it. BTW: Ignore the fact Omen is part of HP - HP itself as a brand is better avoided.
Cooling is the biggest issue or enemy of reliability with laptops. Every manufacturer should make hybrid PC’s. That way better cooling design would extend the lifespan of the rig. As its just too big an ask to have everything in one box. As you need much of the box surface area for cooling. But that’s way too hard, when you also have to supply a built-in screen and keyboard on laptops.
To add… Asus non-gaming laptops seem fine. The EEEPC range from eons ago still work today running Linux. Its the motherboards and GPU’s on Asus laptops you need to watch out for. Anyway, read other threads first before deciding. Here’s one… Box clever. Don’t buy more hardware than you need today. More tips there for extending lifespan too (never use a dev laptop for gaming + turn-off real-time in all UE editors). Also try to go big on SSD. 1TB isn’t even enough for UE4. Not anymore… Go for 2TB SSD + up to 20TB portable HDD.
