I bought the base “canada config” here in the US at Best Buy last month for around $1700 on sale (retail price is $1900), so contrary to what Alex said, it actually CAN be had here. It’s a great PC
Also, worth noting that this is definitely NOT a gaming laptop. When you take that into consideration, the specs make a lot more sense. It’s for the creative crowd - think Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, etc.. Color accuracy is the primary concern. Gaming is an afterthought.
Don’t, with proper game support and optimization, the macbooks are the best gaming laptops, cause their batteries last forever, and they have the exact same performance plugged in or on battery, no windows laptop has that.
I've got the previous generation version, and man that dial is REALLY useful if you're doing any type of drawing/modeling/animation, etc. In fact its just useful in general!
Got a Zephyrus M16 for work and gaming, extremely happy with it except thermals and noise (most likely due to intel chip, seeing 90 degrees is pretty normal). I am a full fletched ASUS fan now, their designs and "power" is so good. I feel like this laptop line up is calling for me in the future.
I bought this laptop for engineering and i love it, some people might have a problem with 60hz and sure its a bit annoying but the display is stunning and tbh i forget that its only 60hz
My heart says Asus is the company to buy my motherboard from. My head says I should wait a few years to see if Asus has stopped actively trying to sr_w over its customer base.
If you are one of those people that struggle to focus, this is not a good purchase at all. I've learned to make sure that my work laptop has no ability to do anything other than what I need it for.
Why oh why is it always ASUS that makes the yummiest AMD laptops? That display is simply fantastic, looks absolutely gorgeous. It's so good it makes even 60Hz bearable. If that machine had Lenovo or honestly anything other than ASUS written on it, I'd instantly tell them to shut up and take my money. But ASUS?
probably wont happen until ARM gets proper support from everyone. Passively cooled x86 laptops for now just isnt going to be worth risking the various models of x86 CPUs with different power curves throttling and having a proper well tuned fan curve is way more important, and ARM laptops is still sorting out performance and compatibility issues. Maybe the next generation of the PX13 and the PZ13 or even some Surface products could be for you.
@@wenimechoinasama2 Most creative software is available on the Mac and tends to run better there too. Apart from Adobe, that just sucks regardless of platform.
There are a lot of people that can't tell the difference between 60 and 120hz and this is for them. For me it's painfully obvious so I would prefer 120 if possible.
If by "pro" you mean a 60hz display I guess your right... its a pro move Literally everything else about this laptop is near perfect... seriously asus.. such a deal breaker.
There is no mention of PWM flickering, which is sad. As someone who bought and returned it, if you are sensitive to PWM flickering, DON'T buy it if you don't want an eye sore and headache.
was super keen up until they casually mention co-pilot. meaning it will also have recall in the future. instant out, no one wants to be monitored like that.
I dont know what bothers me the most. touchscreen laptops that dont open 360 degrees to draw on, or 99% of tech reviewers that dont even bother to test the stylus input, one of the main selling points of this laptop.
@@CODEDSTUDIO The current M4 MacBook Pro 16s will smoke these in every metric, especially battery life. But if you don’t want (or can’t afford) to shell out $2500 US for the base config 16” Pro, and if you can live with Windows, you’re better off going with the base config P16.
Is there a downside to photographers using a microsd card with the sd card adapter? Most microsd cards I see come with the adapter included. If there is no downside then the entire micro vs full sd card thing would not matter.
I genuinely don't understand how 60hz is acceptable in 2024. I can game at 60 just fine, but desktop/non-gaming does not feel good to me anymore at less than 120.
No Thunderbolt? On a system aimed at professionals? And no, USB 4 isn't Thunderbolt. It CAN be, but most of it is optional and if it isn't being advertised as Thunderbolt then it clearly has things missing.
I work in a screenprinting shop and the entire art department runs on adobe illustrator for mac and that sucks cuz i know everything about the razer software and how you can change the polling rate and refresh rate and really get into it but they do not care. lol
love to see amd laptops, but really hoping they go back to support ram upgrades with their next HX chipdls next year. It's the whole reason why I got an 7845HX instead of the newer releases.
I had this laptop for about a week before i returned it and got a g16 instead. The dial is so unintuitive that it felt kind of pointless, so i opted for the higher refresh rate of the g16.
whats the point of the touch screen when the screen doesn't fold all the way, or isn't detachable? I mean I sure love fingerprints on my laptops screen.
I need a laptop for work. It must be dockable friendly with two 4K displays. What should I be looking. Also the current gen xps has a terrible feeling keyboard
I think it's not upgradable, but there's a version with 64GB. That and the display are basically the only differences with G16. G16 caps at 32 GB and ironically (from my POV) has better display, because for me 4K is stupid below like 32", I rather have higher refresh rate at laptop size.
Gaming hardware, professional hardware, office hardware, network hardware.... Are you seeing the pattern yet? It's all about and only about hardware first, then software second, always in that order! Buy the most hardware you can afford, always! There is no need to keep remaking these noisy videos, the laws of physics will not change in this regard in your lifetime. Get the best hardware that you can afford always, and just win the consumer game of life!
Had the previous model. Was great…until I unplugged it and it ran off battery. It disables the nvidia GPU and then I would get hangs, freezes and blue screens.

Runs SSX 3 at 8k on my pcsx emulator. I'm happy. The dial is sturdier feeling than expected,I'm used to pretty high end knobs on pro audio stuff so its hard to live up to those standards sometimes.
@tiltedbybox6118 28" 3:2 is perfect for 4k-class, you just run it at 200% on a laptop you're probably fine using 1920x something to avoid fractional scaling
I miss the Nvidia Shield. I know Samsung has an Android Tablet/Laptop that's Great, but Whatever Happened to Microsoft's Surface Line? Does Anyone Else have a Laptop that's also a tablet? I love Touch Screens, but I don't like them being Too Unwieldy
Yeah absolutely. I switched to Linux on my ThinkPad x1 carbon and i swear it just doubled in performance. Sleep works so it no longer drains when its "off" and Yeah its just rapid. It simply just works! Cant believe how INSANELY slow windows is. But Yeah kinda makes sense. Linux playing Windows games gets the same fps more or less. Sometimes less sometimes more. But the fact you can run non native applications without a huge bottleneck is wild and a good proof on how sucky Windows is under the hood.
What a disappointing list of specs when MacBooks exists. 500 nits 60hz display? Booooring. Even MacBooks have 1000+ nits 120Hz now. 8GB of VRAM is just also disappointing. And that while you need to carry a 200 watt brick to power it.
Laptop for "professionals" and you can't even open it 180 degrees, lol. I hate that G16 tops with 32GB ram, while this one has 64, but ironically screen is better on G16.
A 60 Hz LCD is not brutal. It's fine. I used one of those for almost 4 years without any issues. Now I have a 165Hz IPS panel that's just perfect for my needs.

I am very irritated by that. It’s a new peace of tech that took a lot of human effort to make it at least treat it with a bit of respect
i'll comeback to this video 10 years later when i consider this laptop a good budget laptop.
but outdated
Gaming laptop for professionals but 60hz display. What a let down.
Not really
Too bad, thank you for saving me the time
Yeah, I don't understand why Asus's own Zephyrus G16 screen wasn't used here.
Can't make the gaming version undesirable now, can we?
Anything under 120 is literally unusable.

not sure about that, this laptop has been pretty well reviewed in general
Nah, I helped a friend pick out a laptop and he went with this one. It's just a super good laptop

Whats wrong with Asus? The main thing in your “if” is, your other companies don’t do what you want except Asus did😂
Framework makes AMD laptops and is weirdly the only one selling an all AMD option right now.
I could not resist Alex being that nice Canadian, so I liked and subscribed :)
As an artist what I would really want is a Windows Air M1(passively cooled I mean and with enormous battery life) with a stylus support =)
ARM Windows computers will become more popular in the coming years
honestly i would just get a macbook i wouldn't even want to deal with the bs thats called windows 11
