Update: The price of the G16 already lowered like $300 on sale between making this video and now, so my main problem of it being too expensive is less of a concern now - check current prices here: geni.us/xgH56Vh
get the older 3060 models they should be pretty cheap right now and as youve seen its only a few frames below the 4060 which could even be considered negligable difference
@@wingmanemu3473 I currently have a 3060. I'm looking to upgrade to a 4070, but I'm waiting to catch a serious sale. Strix and Best Buy are off the table it seems, hahaha.
The NumberPad and per-key RGB backlight are only available on some models of the Strix G16. In North America region currently only the G614JI-XS96 model has them, the other models have 4-zone RGB backlight and no NumberPad. Also for integrated AMD and Intel mobile chipsets, PCIe tunneling requires the port to be routed through the iGPU, so Thunderbolt 4/USB4 ports are always connected to the iGPU. ASUS SOP is to leave Thunderbolt 4/USB4 off of at least one USB-C DP port to use as the designated direct-to-dGPU DP alt mode port on their gaming laptops. Asus also tends to opt for the PD to be on that port, out of consideration for single-connector solution USB-C monitors with PD on their USB-C ports (such as the _awesome_ new ProArt PA278CGV), meant to be used with USB-C PD+DP alt mode tablets, convertibles, MacBooks, Mac Minis, Zenbooks, and handhelds like the RoG Ally.
I finally did it. I broke away from Dell and Alienware and have a G18 in the mail. The G18 I got has per key RGB and a 4080. I couldn't compromise on the screen anymore. Hopefully all goes well. Keep up the great work! 👍
Ive upgraded to this from an 2021 Strix G15, 5800h, 16gb and 30708gb and I have to say the prices varied wildly, My local Currys had it for £2100 and Amazon had it the same spec and model for £1800, 13980HX, 16gb, 40708GB. I got £800 for my old laptop which was still going strong and im happy with the modest upgrade. It states it comes with 12 month warranty but after registering it its actually 24 months, then for £70 I can get another year for a total of 3 years warranty.
Being able to close the lid and use it in docked mode is such a valuable feature these days, i dont get why many laptops arent still designed to be used closed, considering how many people buy them to replace their desktop
The entire reason for landing on a laptop with a 4060 like this would be to leverage the DLSS 3 / 3.5 improvement gains over a 30 series card. Comparing raw performance with DLSS disabled seems a bit silly to me. Otherwise, great review.
As a DevOps engineer, I require a powerful Intel machine for both work and gaming. I recently tested the G614JV model, equipped with a 13980HX processor, a 4060 RTX GPU, and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, all displayed on a 1920x1200 16:10 screen. After a two-week trial, I can attest that this device is a beast. Running on the latest version of Revyos Windows 11, it flawlessly handles all modern games, including Cyberpunk, on their maximum settings. I'm considering the purchase of a Samsung 990 SSD, which I believe would further enhance the system's loading speeds and overall performance. my price was 1500 usd in thailand
Could you please tell that where did you buy with such a spec as you mentioned with this (1500$) price? Asus ROG Strix G16 G614JV-N3122W is the only model in Thailand with Intel Core i9 13980HX and Nvidia RTX4060 and it comes with 16GB (8GB x2) DDR5 4800MHz (not 32GB) and 165Hz FHD display with Dolby Vision (not the premium Nebula 240Hz QHD display), and the price is 59990฿ (~1740$) for this model anywhere in Thailand officially.
Been watching your videos for years, and love the channel. Just bought a maingear vector pro(2021) with a 3080 from fb marketplace for $700. I was so sad and kind of shocked you didnt have a review on it. No big deal, your channel has given me so much knowledge and buying power! Thanks so much! ❤
I've got this one, and so far so good. This is a solid choice for those who are keeping the device for a long time. One cool thing about this device is that it's so quiet. I am not a hardcore gamer but it does not disappoint! I suggest upgrading to 32 gb ram for max performance.
@@khalifa6413 its 2.6 kg... its not really that heavy unless you are a student that also carries books in your backpack. I mean. 2-3 books weights 2.6 kg too. so if you can't afford to carry 2-3 books around with you as a student idk what you doiong with life. and if your adult. you should be fine carrying those around.
@@khalifa6413 also heavier and bigger laptops are generally better for longer uses. it always has better cooling system especially strix g16, with 3 fans. and generally better TGP/ Whr. Which are all essential for powering your gpu and cpu. if your laptop are easily hot (bad cooling) and can't supply enough enegy. then your spec are useless
@@khalifa6413 the only benefit for thinner and slimmer laptop is for easier to carry around but to be honest, if you want easier to carry around. don't buy gaming laptop. you don't play valorant 1 game and move a room then play a game and move right? you find a good time to play 3-4 games for example. so no need to aim for thinner, lighter laptop if you want gaming laptop.
@@gwanime4929 ty for the advice and help. I am planning to replace my 8 years old laptop and will buy a new one. Probably will use it for 7 years. I might go for the strix g16. Again, ty :)
Judging only by the 1% lows this is much better than the Legion 5. Not to mention the other aspects in which the G16 also leads. But still too expensive imo, at least in Europe.
Yeah, this is like 800 Euros more expensive than Legion which is often available at a discount for some reason. I just got mine, it was a no-brainer. Plus, tacky looks aren't for everyone, I wouldn't take this to a business meeting or anything similar to that 😁
@@MyRealName Lenovos are soo often discounted because it's the only way they can sell more than ROGs, the main reason people choose them instead, but personally I'd rather have a bit of patience, like last year when I bought a G17 3070Ti for 1600 EUR, I just waited like less than a month for a 30% off discount.
It's all relative in pricing. Imagine paying 2x the amount for only 1/10th of the power. That was just 10 years ago. We're in the golden era of pc gaming, can do no wrong really.
@@FTL1511 Yeah I think you're right, ROG is still a more popular brand, but you can't always wait a month, I needed a laptop now. I can't get over the tacky looks of most gaming laptops, though, because it's not only for gaming. Don't want to be seen on a meeting with an rgb monster.. Legion looks business like.
I was considering the Strix G16. But I find my Zephyrus G14 to be a better deal. The normal pricing of the Strix G16 was about the same price as the Zephyrus G14 when I got it for 10% discount. The pricing of the Strix G16 here seems a bit absurd, same for its config in my region
Also depends on what GPU u go for, for eg. I wanted a 4080 and with the 125W TGP cap I felt it's not worth going for the Zephyrus G14. It's about a 30% performance difference compared to the Strix G16 with 175W TGP
What’s up with the names, Best Buy’s website freaks out when you put these names in and similar varieties pop up and you realize there’s like 1,000 versions
Jarrod, in the "Internals" section can you please check if it's possible to remove the fans without detaching the heatsink from the motherboard? I believe it will be a useful addition to all future reviews
Edit: apparently the issue is being solved by BIOS update With Asus there is always caveats. In this case, although they are using HX series, the memory is 4800MTs, even the non HX could do 5200MTs. Last year was this and not having HDMI 2.1. Maybe next year they catch up with the market.
This is no longer an issue. After a BIOS update it will support 5200MT/s. I upgraded my G18 to 32GB/5200MT/s and was initially disappointed it was stuck at 4800, it is currently running at 5200 after one of the BIOS updates.
@@azeem71191 The answer is... sort of. It does seem to hitch a bit in games (G18, 2023, 4080) but not as bad as when I first got it. BIOS updates seem to have helped. There also seems to be an issue with 12/13th gen CPUs that cause hiccups which may be what I'm seeing. As an aside even the newest BIOS won't go about 5200MT/s on the G18, I'm a bit bummed by that.
@@jeffrobertson8977 am on the verge of getting the base g18( i7 13650HX RTX4060) for trading as I have a separate gaming pc. Worried about the random freezing and flickering reported everywhere on reddit and asus rog forums.
I bought the I9-13980HX 4070 165 FHD 16ram 4800 version and I’m in love. The performance for $2000 is too amazing. Temperatures are quite good for a laptop and the battery longs enough (for my use). Recommended 100%. The bad things are the lack of a third USB-A, the USB’s on the right and the worst of them, the backlight bleed is horrible
I had mine for just over a month now. Good computer, but it is a bit of a glass cannon. I travel a lot and had my first flight with it yesterday from Melbourne to Gold Coast (around 2 hours). It came with me in my travel backpack (heavily padded, computer sleeve … etc) but the plastic corner and screen got damaged on the way. I am quite careful with my tech while I'm travelling so, if you move around a lot like I do, I highly recommend that you are extra careful with yours.
I bought one in March, after 2 months. I just couldn't stand the coil whine, and returned it to the retailer. They said this gen rog laptop's motherboard has design problems, so they just refunded me.
@@foxsneaks I have it, there is some minor coil whine but only when I put my ear directly under the laptop. Some people are just unlucky.......also coil whine doesn't mean a "bad/defective" laptop either but it sure is annoying.

Hey are you gonna do a review on ROG's g17 (2023) anytime soon? I would like to hear more about that when it comes out, great video keep up the good work
Was looking for a laptop to buy earlier this week and came across this one but the lowest I found was 1800$ which is way too expensive, I settled with the Helios 300, and seeing the Helios results compared to this one now in Ur vid makes me really happy, Especially that it's500$ cheaper
I have a Lenovo Legion 5 with a 1660 Ti GPU and a 4800H CPU. I've been really happy with Lenovo laptops for two years now. I haven't had any issues with my current laptop at all. I want to upgrade to a more powerful laptop with a 3070 Ti or 4060 GPU, but I'm afraid to try another brand. Plus, the price of laptops with 40 series GPUs is too high right now.
Lucky you, me on the other hand will never buy the legion series again. 2,5 year usage and the charging port became loose and even after replacing the charging port, the problem will resurface again in 2-3 months.

I have the Asus Rog Strix G16 i7-13th RTX 4050. Excellent laptop, everything about it is mind blowing. The RGB is awesome it even has a mode to sync with screen colors. The build quality is like nothing i have seen before, is both the beauty and the beast! Almost 1 GB /second SSD read/write. The only problem is that i suspect mu graphic card has some problems with the lighting in GTA 5, but i could have ticked a wrong setting idk… I RECOMMEND THIS LAPTOP! Think about the quality of the build too not just the processor and graphic card!
@@anthony30088 i paid ~1330 usd for mine so i would say yes. Also 4060 has more force than 4050, better for gaming on the games that would Be released later years. I can play RD2 ultra settings no problem with mine, so as long as you want to invest in the future and have the money, sure, go for it
Getting Closer to that Strix Scar 16 review I see, recently got one used close to the 2000 mark. really enjoying the 13980hx and 4080 with mini led display up from a 6700hq and 1070 mobile. cpus and gpus have really come a long way.
I also got the scar 16 4080 miniled couple days ago. Aside from some software annoyances it is an incredible laptop. I really like the silent mode performance and the hdr feels amazing! I also recommend you to undervolt the 13980hx
@@kalestra4198 way ahead of you on that one already undervolted. Also turns out when I bought it used for 2/3rd the price it had a g16 bottom plate so a replacements on the way for that part
Just want to thank you for all your great reviews. Even though I don't agree with your recommendations a lot of the time, you make sure the core information is always there to make an informed decision. You don't talk about nonsense and keep a high pace. I think you you are number one on youtube when it comes to laptop reviews. Keep it up!
I looked up what the most reliable gaming laptop brand was and a lot of people said Asus. Found this model and it looks good. Only worried because I had an Asus computer that lasted a while but the plastic casing came apart quickly and I couldn't open it without holding a piece of the laptop together.
I have this laptop. Newer Plastics are different. It feels rock solid, almost like metal but doesn't spread heat and get hot......don't let the plastic fool you. The top display lid is all metal, the hinges are a unique design and sturdy. The best part are the thermals.
Which version did you get? What year? What model? I have a g14 from 2022 that I got on sale for $600 and it's been a dream. It works great and plays all my games at high frame rates.
I'd say it depends on which year's model, which configuration you got, and most importantly your intended use case. I assume you'd use it both for gaming and school work (since it's a discreet gaming laptop) and that your school work wouldn't benefit from the 16:10 aspect ratio screen of this year's model. So, if you got last year's model, it might be a better value than this year's model depending on the specs and whether you got a good deal on it. If that's the case, then the RTX 3070 Ti model is the best bang for your buck (and a better value than thE new model with the RTX 4070). This is in addition to it having enough power to run anything you throw at it for the next (I'd say) five years at least at medium to high settings. If it's the 3070 (plain) model then it's not bad and should run most AAA games smoothly for the next three years (maybe at lowered settings for some; or maybe not, since I don't know the future ofc). I expect the 3060 wouldn't be able to run upcoming AAA games unless you're willing to lower the settings way down for some games, especially since it had only 6 GB of VRAM. This is of course assuming you're not planning on doing anything too CPU-intensive and single-threaded, since last year's AMD CPUs didn't have the best single-core performance; and if that's the case, then you would have been better off getting this year's model with a 13th Gen Intel CPU. And then, the RTX 4060 model is preferable to the 4070 model since the latter is a ripoff. Hopefully you bought smart and you're happy with your purchase. And may it serve you well either ways.
I was waiting on this review. Thanks Jarrod. I wish there were more thin and lights though with the new dlss and frame generation tech. Don't know why budget to mid range gaming laptops are so big.
I don't get it, everywhere I search, I never find the exact laptop. I might get a G18 because it's 200$ off and it's price is 1500$. i9 14900hx RTX 4060 QHD 240hz 16 RAM 1TB 90 Whr Is it worth it? I would upgrade from my 6 years old GTX 1050ti laptop. I thought about a PC, but the laptop is the best option for me.
oh god i just upgraded to g16 qhd+ rtx 4060 i9 13980hx from my 1050 ti as well, totally worth it. and since that was the only budget option in sales that met most of my demands
Content is great! Wish you would make a bar on your website tho that showcases rankings of laptops with their performance. Would greatly boost interactions
So glad I was able to grab a 2022 Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (i7-12700H/3070/16gb DDR5/1tb Nvme) from Amazon for $1199. I love my 2019 Helios Predator 300 but the sheer amount of heat/noise it produces now a days just wasn't worth it anymore.
One problem with a lot of entry/mid range GPU laptops is that they often are coupled with higher end cpus. No one needs a 7945hx for a 4060, yet people end up paying unnecessarily more, ending up with a heavy gpu bottleneck in most games. Just like this model you reviewed. 14c i7 for a rtx 4060 mobile is just overk*ll. An i5 would have done the job and cut the price. This way the entry/mid range laptop gpu´s end up in an overpriced bracket duo to non gpu related things. Thankfully there are still plenty of brands on the market that also offer entry level combinations. Some laptops just make no sense, at least not for the main purpose of gaming (which in regards to GAMING laptops is most likely the thing). Like combining at ryzen 7 with a rtx 3050. That is probably an offer for someone who mainly runs cpu heavy workloads while running some casual games at times.
@@soulaimanebougraou23631 year later and I’m fairly certain my Intel i9 13900 COU is fried. Laptop has been taken apart with fans/vents all cleaned every month.
My only complains with this laptop is coilwine and the usb-c charging, it's hard to game with it, it keeps using the battery despite having a 100 Watts input. it should be enough energy for playing simple games or when limiting the performance of the device.
Very important question Jarrod. Was there any loud coil whine during benchmarking games, general use? I've seen a good amount of people complain about it Also any owners of 2023 g16 specifically would like to know if you have this problem

16:47 Pretty much all of the 2023 Strix / Strix Scar laptops I've tried on Linux do not have working speakers without going into alsa tools and manually messing around with some low level values manually. This also requires a reboot to check, so not really doable for most users, and even when it "worked" the speakers were still very tinny, so likely only the tweeters were active.
@@rustombhesania7265 I tried it on an Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 2023, and I couldn't get the speakers to sound good, even after almost a week of trying. Because of that, I returned the laptop.
Your explanation is very nice. If there are defects in the product you say this is a beautiful thing and I have changed a lot of my decisions in purchasing a product....keep going
the laptop is alright. I have it, but with the 14900HX, the laptop seems to struggle cooperating with the motherboard. Games tend to crash because because of the cpu and pretty frequently. Intel needs to send a fix for their cpu, but apparently both intel and asus seem to be at odds with each other on who needs to fix what.
Hey Jarrod, when can we expect the Razer Blade 14 (2023)? Almost everyone on RUclips did it already, I'm only waiting for your review ! :-) because you are the best ...
Unfortunately, we had some issues with our Blade 14, so we're being sent another one to confirm whether it was our unit or potentially all units. Hopefully not too much longer.
The noise on the opening closing will go away. It’s just probably wasn’t smooth off and it’s scraping against the edge but eventually it will smooth out. It will go away. I used to work computer stores and that happen a lot with new laptops not a lot but it happens.
Can we get update on the Gaming ASUS ROG Strix G18 G814JV, I am considering buying it but I would like to see one of your very detailed reviews to make sure that is a good laptop before I order it.

what a steal! you got it for just about 1/3 of its actual price
@@ianopalla7557 I know! I couldn't believe it wasn't a scam!
Maingear are a Tongfang reseller, same as XMG and Eluktronics. I possibly reviewed it under one of those brands.
You wanted him to review a 2021 model when we are in 2023?😂
@truelight1193 @truelight1193 I never asked him to review it. I just wanted to leave a nice comment. Check your reading comprehension skills bro.
I've got this one, and so far so good. This is a solid choice for those who are keeping the device for a long time. One cool thing about this device is that it's so quiet. I am not a hardcore gamer but it does not disappoint! I suggest upgrading to 32 gb ram for max performance.
Does it feel heavy like annoyingly heavy?
@@khalifa6413 its 2.6 kg... its not really that heavy unless you are a student that also carries books in your backpack. I mean. 2-3 books weights 2.6 kg too. so if you can't afford to carry 2-3 books around with you as a student idk what you doiong with life. and if your adult. you should be fine carrying those around.
@@khalifa6413 also heavier and bigger laptops are generally better for longer uses. it always has better cooling system especially strix g16, with 3 fans. and generally better TGP/ Whr. Which are all essential for powering your gpu and cpu. if your laptop are easily hot (bad cooling) and can't supply enough enegy. then your spec are useless
@@khalifa6413 the only benefit for thinner and slimmer laptop is for easier to carry around but to be honest, if you want easier to carry around. don't buy gaming laptop. you don't play valorant 1 game and move a room then play a game and move right? you find a good time to play 3-4 games for example. so no need to aim for thinner, lighter laptop if you want gaming laptop.

YES PLEASE, i've been wanting to buy one so bad, but unsure to either chose the TUF F15 with the i7 or the A15 with the R7 with the 4060
@@JarrodsTechyeah I'm curious to know how the 7940HS perform compared to the Intel 13th gen i7 H and HX as well as AMD HX.
What about the slim 7 gen 8. I've been waiting 😢
7940H performs basically on par with 12700H from last year. Huge improvement in single thread performance and big improvement on multi
Judging only by the 1% lows this is much better than the Legion 5.
Not to mention the other aspects in which the G16 also leads. But still too expensive imo, at least in Europe.
Yeah, this is like 800 Euros more expensive than Legion which is often available at a discount for some reason. I just got mine, it was a no-brainer. Plus, tacky looks aren't for everyone, I wouldn't take this to a business meeting or anything similar to that 😁
@@MyRealName Lenovos are soo often discounted because it's the only way they can sell more than ROGs, the main reason people choose them instead, but personally I'd rather have a bit of patience, like last year when I bought a G17 3070Ti for 1600 EUR, I just waited like less than a month for a 30% off discount.
Lenovo Legion is Way better. Super cool and quiet.
It's all relative in pricing. Imagine paying 2x the amount for only 1/10th of the power. That was just 10 years ago.
We're in the golden era of pc gaming, can do no wrong really.
@@FTL1511 Yeah I think you're right, ROG is still a more popular brand, but you can't always wait a month, I needed a laptop now. I can't get over the tacky looks of most gaming laptops, though, because it's not only for gaming. Don't want to be seen on a meeting with an rgb monster.. Legion looks business like.
Midrange💀 how
My exact same reaction 😅
u broke
I was considering the Strix G16. But I find my Zephyrus G14 to be a better deal. The normal pricing of the Strix G16 was about the same price as the Zephyrus G14 when I got it for 10% discount. The pricing of the Strix G16 here seems a bit absurd, same for its config in my region
Also depends on what GPU u go for, for eg. I wanted a 4080 and with the 125W TGP cap I felt it's not worth going for the Zephyrus G14. It's about a 30% performance difference compared to the Strix G16 with 175W TGP
The Zephyrus lacks webcam right? xD
@@__a6290the G14 comes with a webcam now.
@__a6290 it has a webcam since last year
What’s up with the names, Best Buy’s website freaks out when you put these names in and similar varieties pop up and you realize there’s like 1,000 versions
Jarrod, in the "Internals" section can you please check if it's possible to remove the fans without detaching the heatsink from the motherboard? I believe it will be a useful addition to all future reviews
Edit: apparently the issue is being solved by BIOS update
With Asus there is always caveats. In this case, although they are using HX series, the memory is 4800MTs, even the non HX could do 5200MTs. Last year was this and not having HDMI 2.1. Maybe next year they catch up with the market.
This is no longer an issue. After a BIOS update it will support 5200MT/s. I upgraded my G18 to 32GB/5200MT/s and was initially disappointed it was stuck at 4800, it is currently running at 5200 after one of the BIOS updates.
BIOS 312 enabled support for 5600. My 16GBx2 KFs are running at 5600 CL40. But the perf improvement is not worth the hassle tbh
@@jeffrobertson8977 are you facing any freezing or flickering issues?
@@azeem71191 The answer is... sort of. It does seem to hitch a bit in games (G18, 2023, 4080) but not as bad as when I first got it. BIOS updates seem to have helped. There also seems to be an issue with 12/13th gen CPUs that cause hiccups which may be what I'm seeing. As an aside even the newest BIOS won't go about 5200MT/s on the G18, I'm a bit bummed by that.

Just want to thank you for all your great reviews. Even though I don't agree with your recommendations a lot of the time, you make sure the core information is always there to make an informed decision. You don't talk about nonsense and keep a high pace. I think you you are number one on youtube when it comes to laptop reviews. Keep it up!
I looked up what the most reliable gaming laptop brand was and a lot of people said Asus. Found this model and it looks good. Only worried because I had an Asus computer that lasted a while but the plastic casing came apart quickly and I couldn't open it without holding a piece of the laptop together.
I have this laptop. Newer Plastics are different. It feels rock solid, almost like metal but doesn't spread heat and get hot......don't let the plastic fool you. The top display lid is all metal, the hinges are a unique design and sturdy. The best part are the thermals.

I just got the ZEPHYRUS G16, is it still good?
Just a high school student, didn’t play any games.
Which version did you get? What year? What model?
I have a g14 from 2022 that I got on sale for $600 and it's been a dream. It works great and plays all my games at high frame rates.
@@theexile4694 he said G16, so it must be this year's model.
I'd say it depends on which year's model, which configuration you got, and most importantly your intended use case. I assume you'd use it both for gaming and school work (since it's a discreet gaming laptop) and that your school work wouldn't benefit from the 16:10 aspect ratio screen of this year's model. So, if you got last year's model, it might be a better value than this year's model depending on the specs and whether you got a good deal on it. If that's the case, then the RTX 3070 Ti model is the best bang for your buck (and a better value than thE new model with the RTX 4070). This is in addition to it having enough power to run anything you throw at it for the next (I'd say) five years at least at medium to high settings. If it's the 3070 (plain) model then it's not bad and should run most AAA games smoothly for the next three years (maybe at lowered settings for some; or maybe not, since I don't know the future ofc). I expect the 3060 wouldn't be able to run upcoming AAA games unless you're willing to lower the settings way down for some games, especially since it had only 6 GB of VRAM. This is of course assuming you're not planning on doing anything too CPU-intensive and single-threaded, since last year's AMD CPUs didn't have the best single-core performance; and if that's the case, then you would have been better off getting this year's model with a 13th Gen Intel CPU. And then, the RTX 4060 model is preferable to the 4070 model since the latter is a ripoff. Hopefully you bought smart and you're happy with your purchase. And may it serve you well either ways.

this detailed review definitely needs the info for tilt angle of the screen (when opens up)
Maybe the biggest dealbreakers for me are the typical Asus QC issues and the lack of biometrics
One problem with a lot of entry/mid range GPU laptops is that they often are coupled with higher end cpus.
No one needs a 7945hx for a 4060, yet people end up paying unnecessarily more, ending up with a heavy gpu bottleneck in most games.
Just like this model you reviewed. 14c i7 for a rtx 4060 mobile is just overk*ll. An i5 would have done the job and cut the price. This way the entry/mid range laptop gpu´s end up in an overpriced bracket duo to non gpu related things.
Thankfully there are still plenty of brands on the market that also offer entry level combinations.
Some laptops just make no sense, at least not for the main purpose of gaming (which in regards to GAMING laptops is most likely the thing). Like combining at ryzen 7 with a rtx 3050. That is probably an offer for someone who mainly runs cpu heavy workloads while running some casual games at times.

I was gonna buy an Acer Nitro 5 with i5... but the promotion ended and I'm now considering this Asus with i7 13650HX for €1199 instead of €1949. Not disappointed with this situation and the chance I had to consider this model. t looks sick both for gaming and machine learning. I'll be using it for both tasks.
thanks cuz I’m getting this on christmas
as a person writing this from a g16 its definitely worth it
What about coil whine?
@@yashjewdhun7689 it has coil whine but it is so minimal you cannot hear it until you put your ear under the computer
What is the difference betwine G16 2023 and the M16 2023?!
maybe look at their pictures and compare? what is wrong with people today that they don`t try to find information for themselves but just expect to be spoon fed everything???
@@shitmir
I did! ANd can not see anything big that would justify making a whole new model for it!
As for you and your little life, If this post triggers you - Get off the internet!
with some laptops offering HDR or dolbyvision now, I wish you would talk about how well the display handles HDR gaming, or at least point out witch models are capable of HDR gaming and witch are not. When done well HDR can make a HUGE difference in visual quality while gaming, but when done poorly..... much worse.
Any chance you will be reviewing the m18 anytime soon 👀👀
I saw a brand new one for 500 with the i7 processor, for the graphics card info they just put "dedicated" I asked them to clarify, thinking about buying it
Any explanations for why the 1% Low are so great on this laptop?
Were the drivers unoptimized on laptops tested earlier in the year? Is the 4060 just better in that regard compared to other cards? Is it some specific component of the Strix?
It's the amount of vram on the gpu
@@violent_bebop9687 That can’t be it. This laptop only has 8gb and has way better 1% Lows relatively to its average compared to other laptops with more VRAM.

@@nocommentarygaming2644Oh wow skipped that part. Thank you!
Probably the high CPU power.
Do you considering to review the legion slim 5/5i? Never see any non sponsored video about it
I am planning on it, just trying to see if I can get it
The Strix G15 AMD Advantage with the 12GB 6800M is still punching above its weight nearly two years later. So happy I got it on clearance over the holidays.
do you think that the G15 is better?? because Both r the same price at my country so wich one should i Buy or do you recommend the G15 over the G16 2023 W/FHD 165Hz res instead of QWH 165Hz(G15 adv ed)
I actually have a retest of that laptop going up next :)
@@JarrodsTech should i go for the g15 adv edition with 2k 165hz instead of this g16 1080p 165hz (both at the same price (
Nice t-shirt. Where can i buy?
