9+ hours a day straight every day?? That is an intensive workout for sure! And not to be expected from such a thin device eh? Glad youre enjoying it. Thank you for sharing :)

Ohh sweeeet. I would straight up agree with you. I sooo wish I had gotten a 6850 when I could. Who knew that the advantage edition would be such a rare sight. I just dont get why consumers just blindly follow nvidia. I mean ray tracing should never have been a make or break feature. Especially in laptops . Whats the point of running raytracing with dlss? I really avoid upscaling settings as much as possible and perhaps would only use them in competitive online multiplayer games. Anywayyy. I am just sad Radeons have been pushed back in the dark. I have always wanted to see AMD take Nvidia down a notch. We neeeeed competition and cannot afford to have Nvidia monopolize gaming.

@@kazmiee I think AMD has given up on mobile GPUs. Last year, around June there were leaks about a potential 7700M, 7800M, 7800S and 7900S. There was even a leaked TimeSpy score with the 7800M. It destroyed the 4080 mobile... But nothing came out of it, it was never released. I think if AMD can get a hold of the midrange and entry levels with their Strix Halo mega APUs and be able to challenge the Nvidia xx70 class, we won't see AMD dGPUs anymore in laptops. They struggled to get their chips into laptops. They just don't sell well, sadly...

Apologies for the late response. If you want to squeeze every little frame out of your mobile GPU, especially a 4080 or 4090, personally.. just from my own experience.. I feel your best bets are with an Alienware or a Legion. They tend to have heavy thermal solutions and can bear with extended loads.. I suppose ROG also does well with their NON-zephyrus G16 or G18s. But anyway.. coming back to the Pro 16x. It has an AWESOME screen with a 3.2K resolution. It just has a 120hz refresh rate but that is MOOOORE than plenty for story driven games which loollking amazing on this screen. The Pro 16X is just a very special and unique laptop. Being able to pull ample air from the top of the device means it manages heat quite well and is built from really high quality materials. I just dont like that it has just 1 slot for an ssd and just 1 type A usb slot. Overall, I reeeaaally like the pro16x :)

@@kazmiee thank you so much for the insight. Now i have a better picture. Really appreciate it

@@RahulRanjanoenaoh hey thanks Rahul. I cannot believe they have an IPS option on this. I thought it was oled only.. hmm tough.. it all comes down to usecase tbh..the screen ill leave to your personal preference .. 16 gigs of ram honesly feels a bit low now. IF.. you have zero chance of getting into video editing then perhaps the 16 gigs would be okay for gaming for now. But if youre getting something for 3 years, not sure if 16 gigs would age well. If battery life is important to you and screen size isnt.. but portability is suuuper important, the g14 would also work well with the ryzen cpu. Does that make sense? You have any specific use cases to share?

Heyy thanks for your comment Kennar. Glad to hear that you found my content useful. The G16 for sure is a sweet piece of kit. Are you using it primarily for gaming or creative work? Or both?

@@rezavaziri6900 Heyy Reza thank you so much for the kind words. Glad that you enjoyed my content. And dont worry, I am faaaaaaar from any kind of blow up. My regular job and life just keeps me so busy that I have been struggling alot to find time for this. But yeah it would be awesome if I could do tech reviews for a living. Hehe.. But to answer your question. I no longer have the device with me but I did save the standatd battery logs. It seems that I was averaging a little less than 3 hours on mixed use. And this would be on full sreen brightness and perfomance mode with hybrid graphics selected. And usually during those times, there would be alot of hdd writing activities because id be downloading and deleting huge games. I should have done my standard battery test here but somehow it missed the script. :/ Btw, your interest in the P1.. is there a specific use case for which you were eyeing the P1?.. btw the gen 7 is out and if you use a discount affiliation like Venngo or Perkopolis you could score pretty big discounts on it as well.

@@kazmiee you would be surprised my friend. I’ve watched quite a few channels get from your level to the millions of subscribers with a few dedicated months of quality regular content. I like to think the algorithm only recommends real one’s who got the “it” factor haha. It seems like the 1-9k sub mark is a critical threshold. I actually just received my 4090 p1 a few days ago and was just curious to compare battery life. I share your experience/opinions on most other things (~15.5k timespy, enjoying the screen, nice sleeper build, etc.). I got roughly 6-7 hours doing normal tasks throughout the day and at school so it’s perfect for my use case. I actually wanted the gen 6 specifically bc it seems to be the last of the “old” guard thinkpads. Still have physical buttons instead of haptic trackpad, a nice beefy 165hz ips display instead of oled, and a PHAT 4090 in an understated package. I got a nice deal on ebay on a brand new gen 6 from an authorized reseller and honestly am really happy with it so far. Besides some minor trackpoint drift occasionally, the machine doesn’t skip a beat.

Heyyy Glad you like it. It definitely is one of those laptops that I just dont feel like selling. It is something special for sure! It is crazy how the viability and performance of gaming laptops in general have improved by leaps and bounds over the last few years. A desktop IMO is mostly worth it if you plan to build something with a 4090 or 4080 that needs crazy amounts of power. Even besides that, personally It has allowed me to remain loyal to gaming because a laptop just gives me more convenient and easier access. I can just get into it in any place of the house or in a cafe or at the airport. And now with windows based handhelds, the level of access has been pushed even further. Anyway. I do hope you continue yo enjoy the G16. I am hopefully going to be putting out a review soon on a comparison between the Legion 7 gen 9 and the G16.

Heyyy, really really sorry about the late reply; I would imagine that your questions may have already gotten resolved by now but ill share my POV here. The Pro 16x easily feels like it has the more premium build and feels a bit more special & exclusive. BUT because of its unique hinge it may be a bit delicate to bumps n all. HOWEVER, Asus in their marketing have stressed over how tough the Pro 16x is since it has gone through MIL STD standard tests. So far the device is working perfectly for me.. Your next question though is a good one. I use a compressed air can with the thin long nozzle attachement which can go under the keyboard and close to the fans. however, you can still clean the fans by opening the botton cover and also using a portable air blower or the compressed air can on the fans as well while keeping the lid open so that dust can push through from the top. Overall, I dont think it is a big deal.

Haha. Terrible. Even in the house at times with the window blinds up. It is not as bad as it used to be with Oleds. The anti reflective coating works BUT.. an IPS panel can feel more useable outside and under the sun. Apologies for the late response!

Never mind lol it seems you already covered the legion pro 7 2023 I’ll give that a watch

Heyy really glad to hear that you found my content to be useful. It really means alot! :) Also, I did review the Pro 7i 2023 with the 13900HX and the 4070; you can find it here: ruclips.net/video/D7-NFoRF5Xc/видео.html&pp=ygURdGVjaG5pYy1hbGkgcHJvIDc%3D ; Ill also be soon putting out my review for the Legion 7i Gen 9 (non-pro) soon as well.

ohhh, just saw this; I thought I had missed responding to you earlier; did you find what you were looking for in that video?

@@kazmiee Yes i did, the video was helpful and my main source for when it came to deciding. i did end up getting the 2023 legion pro 7i and am happy with it. thanks once again

@@jasperboleyley9659 When in doubt, I say Quality over Quantity. The G18 will be a better companion to you in the long term and I believe will manage thermals wayy better than the MSI hence I feel can manage sustained loads better as well. I have no experience with the MSI Vector series but I think MSI has positioned it to be a more affordable option and will have cheaped out in a few areas. The G18 will be a better laptop. Sure ypu might get 15% more fps with the 4090 but even if you are an enthusiast gamer, those extra frames might mot make a big difference to your gaming experience but the quality of individual components on a laptop can IMO. Hope that helps. Let me kmow what you end up deciding :)

@@kazmiee i appreciate it brother...the msi is on sale and only a few hundred bucks like 150-300 and i really want an 18 inch lappy but it wasnt on sale...i come from a 3060 predator series and wanted the predator helios 18 but its 2500-2600... 😃

@@BrandonBerry-o8y Heyy Brandon! Really sorry about the tardyness in my response. Last few days were crazy. I am really really glad to hear that you enjoyed my content. It really does mean alot and keeps me motivated to continue to invest in this channel. Hope I can keep this up and keep bringing you guys content you like. Cheers man. Hope you have a great rest of the day!

Hey BCEng, really glad to hear that you like my content. And thank you for your question - I really wanted to mention the Pro 16X in my video as well; I certainly think it can be a consideration; but I found it to be so unpopular in front of the G series. Have you watched my review on it btw?.. ruclips.net/video/63C0JCzUros/видео.html&pp=ygUUUHJvIHgxNnggdGVjaG5pYy1hbGk%3D ; Overall, I think the Pro 16X is a superior device compared to the G16. The Ultra chip mostly provdides battery savings.. but it is not faster than the 13th or 14th gen i9 processors.. I honestly even find it a bit 'sluggish' when using it on battery.

@@kazmiee Thanks for reply, and yes I have see both your video it was great , also which build quailty of this two you think is better and if the price is both same (2800 gbp and both for 3080 version , which one will you pick ) also I have a question for the zenbook pro it is 120hz screen but if I have external screen can I set over 120 hz if myy screnn is capable to has higher frame rate ? and also can I set my laptop screen to othere resolution like normal 2k or 1980 x 1080? thanks for your reply . The last thing I worryy about zenbook pro is the dust problem , I know there is 2 fan under the keyboard , so wiill it be hard if I manage to clean it? because it seems to be ez for dust get in for this kiind of design

heyy Vincent. Thank youu! Glad you liked my content. :)

I do absolutely love my Legion Go

You are quite eagle eyed eh? Yeah I have been meaning to put out a review for it but keep getting sidetracked with work. It can actually become quite noisy at full chat. I'd say louder than a desktop even at load, but I guess it does kind of work; what do you like about the Llano cooling pad?

@@kazmiee Yeah, it’s quite loud. I love the fact that it diminishes thermal throttling and significantly increases performance (I’ve done some benchmarks, and the improvement was substantial). I tried to undervolt my P1 (like I did with my X1 Extreme), but it’s now locked by the manufacturer after the Plundervolt vulnerability (CVE-2019-11157). So yeah, it’s a little workaround-a loud one-but it gets the job done😅

Ah man. I know the feeling; it was so cool that there was an affordable laptop out there that was so well built and had all the bells and whistles but now we have to get the Legion 9i for all that and it can be a bit pricey. :/

what is happening here?

Thank you Maroc! I guess I probably wont get alot of views on this, I feel the P1 is not a very popular device. Hehe. I am currently testing out the Legion 7i 2024.. will probably be comparing it to the new G16 as well.

Man its a gem, it will be a collectors item some day​@@kazmiee

Oh dang. Sorry man. I suppose I use it to drown out background distractions and conversations. I will consider removing it in the future. Thank you for the feedback. :)

Hey thanks PowRTorCH. Glad that you enjoyed my content - I am working on a review of the G16 vs the Legion 7i 2024. Stay tuned for that :)

haha thanks Imran! Glad you enjoyed my content. I should probably specify in the title that it is Gen 6 ; thank you for dropping me that like and for the feedback! will try to keep improving my content. :)

Oh absolutely! that definitely is the plan - as you can see, this video did not do very well. hehe I am not sure why though. But ill be sure to try again. Is there a popular device that you think I should look at?

Hey thanks Qsmtt. Really glad that you found my video useful. :)

Hey there. I most definitely mentioned that.. around the 7.10 and onwards mark. THAT.. plus the thermal throttling..both i believe in mentioned. Let me know of there is any specific detail I should mention in the future. Thank you! :)

Oh wow. Nice. I am excited for you! Well done you! Naturally the initial setup might be a little extensive compared to.. say.. a console... 1. Run windows update 2. Run asus armory crate, sign in, run updates - set GPU mode to ultimate (restart) and set performance tu turbo - remember that the laptop will work TIMES better when plugged in 3. Run geforce experience, update GPU drivers 4. Go to microsoft store > library > get updates / update all 5. Install game platforms.. steam, epic (fortnite) battlenet (call of duty), ubisoft (assassins creed, division) .. Steam should be the main platform though for getting games. So make sure to make an account there.. you should also get a complimentary xbox game pass.. so just claim it and get into playing some games right away for free (1-3 month subscription) I would say that should cover alot of the initial setup :)

@@kazmiee Ok got it, will give it a run tomorrow once i receive this bad boy, thanks.

@kazmiee Another quick question, would the asus g16 strix 4090 been a better labtop for gaming? the strix uses the i9-14900HX cpu while the Zuphyus uses the Ultra 9

@@selectaguru well. Yes. With the strix 4090, you can probably expect around a 15%-20% performance bump. But that is not because of th3 CPU but because of the GPU being able to take up more power (TGP) since the strix is a much thicker device and can manage a more robust cooling solution. The 4090 in the Zephyrus G16 will have a lower power limit.. around 120watts max and witht the strix..from what I understand, I think the 4090 would be able to manage close to 170 watts

Yeah. Not sure why they have not gotten into the 18 inch space. They should have showed something in computex but I dont think they did.

Hi Andreas. Really really glad to hear you enjoyed my content. I have T14s with the 13th gen intel from work. It... well.. it.. does the job. Hehe..wish we would have 16 inch models but oh well. The thermal throttling on the P1 was a bit dissapointing but yeah thinkpads will continue to be icons of productivity. I had the t480 in my previous job.

@@kazmiee at my desk i got the t14 gen 1, good keyboard, screen, battery but the build quality leaves much to be desired. the company i work at is now switching to hp, while they are sometimes sturdier, but the hinges are awful, they break super easily. i like thinkpads too, so boring i can actually focus.

Really? Feels like it would be quite a challenge to have 2 sodimms and 2 pcie slots and a 4090 with a vapor chamber.. but if you have it in your region, that is pretty awesome.

Only for the lower GPUs. 4070 for example. You don't get the vapor chamber, only the copper sink. I really think that a 4090 is overkill with no real benefits. The sweet spot is a 4070 with 2 M.2 slots and a 1440p display for games and productivity.

@@marcusdumitru 100% agreed. :)

@@marcusdumitru 4090 is overkill with no real benefit for sure, you can never properly cool it and get all performance out of it. Nevertheless, Im in central Europe and I was able to configure it with a 4090 and 2 SSDs.

@@Burbananathat’s so bizarre that they didnt offer this spec in the americas. Are there any down sides to having the second ssd slot w 4090? Do you still get the vapor chamber and liquid metal?

Haha, in this case, I believe ALOT of people would be at fault. 9000 CAD is just a stupid amount of money for a laptop. you could get a maxed out Razer Blade 18 for that for way less than that. But anyway, even discounted, plenty of good options for a 4090 laptop :)

Especially their warranty / post sales servicing - it has been getting a lot of bad press; I also was victim to that with the Zenbook Pro 16x. These guys are producing so many SKUs; operations must be crazy complex to deal with quality issues

haha. I really appreciate that. Thank you for the kind words. Glad you liked my work. The upcoming Gen 7 P1 would probably be one of the first laptops to sport LPCAMM2 memory - I suppose the P1 still has a future in the thinkpad lineup. These guys need to freshen up the Vantage software for it though

Aww thanks Xuan Tan. Grateful for your encourgement. Hope I can continue to bring out content that you like :)

oh wow really? I remember in Canada I could not find anything less than a 4080. I think the top vent design is especially helpful to get with a 4080 atleast since this device has the thermal headroom to deal with the extra wattage. Hope you can find a 4080 variant soon. I actually decided to keep the Pro 16X; it is a masterpiece in the laptop space honestly.

@@kazmieeI found one but I ended up paying more than msrp on it. It was the only one I could find online so I guess it was worth it

Oh man you said it! I absolutely hated how they gutted the Legion 7 after the Gen 7 - Things were looking real good at that time especially since we had separate versions for Intel/Nvidia and Radeon/Ryzen. The Gen7 was just such a masterpiece. It literally covered all the bases. They just wanted to jack up the prices is all; which is why the Legion 9 came into view; Sure, we get a LITTLE more firepower with better thermals including a third fan and top side intakes (and a gimmicky water cooling solution) but they just charged wayyy too much man. I dont know if you got a chance to watch another video of mine but I think I ranted over the same things there: ruclips.net/video/D7-NFoRF5Xc/видео.htmlfeature=shared - check it out if you can Having soo many options to chose from is definitely a bit confusing for the consumers out there. And its probably only going to get worse down the line though. I am actually looking forward to reviewing the new legion 7.. not the PRO version; feels like it was a step towards the Gen 7 design (without the RGB though) _ I just cant seem to find it in white in my region as yet; hope I find one soon and share my review of it with you all :)

@@kazmiee Already seen that video, been watching you for over a year now man!🙌🏽 And yeah, I think this year’s legion 7 is actually great, with a slim design and great thermals, just like how it used to be with the 2021 legion 7. I wish they bought the AMD advantage versions back, although AMD themselves arent doing a great job in shipping those chips and marketing. I am looking forward to AMD strix Halo gaming laptops from lenovo with the same form factor as the 2023 legion slim 7, although with upgradeable internals. I hope they don’t mess this up and release a separate product category, and just make A good gaming laptop. Lenovo is in the right direction with their legion 7 lineup, hope they dont screw this the next year, just so they can upcharge for a higher tier model, or remove features to justify the possibility of increased gpu and cpu prices next year…. Also possible Video Idea, can you talk about AMD strix halo, and what it means for the future of gaming laptop form factors in the future. I am especially concerned about the possibility of no user upgradeable ram just so you can get faster speeds from lpddr5x memory. Hope they don’t do that.

Hey Thanks Prajwal. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Do you have a favorite brand these days?

@@kazmiee Acer apparently went from worst to best because of new ownership, they have renewed their brand

@@tac2456 I should definitely check out Acer's recent predator laptops and put out a review. Thanks for sharing your thoughs. Which laptop are you currently using?

@@kazmiee I'm using the one that you reviewed on this video, but because I didn't know the European version of the G18 strix 4070 has a terrible screen comparing to the American one, now I'm having a problem with my the right eye. Side by side with my old Asus laptop of 8 years ago, the old one has a much better screen (full hd), never had any problem with it. Of course I'm very disappointed.. 2310€ for a bad screen laptop...and to think that kids are using this, it's unbelievable.

@@tac2456 oh wow. That big a difference? Sorry to hear about that. Why would Asus do that? Are you planning to replace it soon?

Really cool you phrased it that way. I can certainly agree to that analogy. Did you recently get the Pro 16x?

Hey thanks Prajwal. That really helps lift my spirits. :)

You know what, i feel the same at times. A strange kind of sluggishness at times.. especially when I have it hooked to a 100w type c charge. Need to do more research into this. Will share if i find a solution
