Looks soooo good with that gun-metal color and translucent deck! Lack of HDMI 2.1 and dGPU only mode is a deal-breaker unfortunately, and Lenovo Legions have both.
Most laptop webcams are trash you'd be better off buying an external webcam as you can get higher quality or pay 30 bucks for one that's similar to the ones that come built into laptops
@@Antonis24 either way I don't use a webcam for anything so doesn't really matter to me but if I had to use one I personally would want better quality and if I'm buying a laptop that's $2000 and up than I'm pretty sure I should be able to afford a webcam but to each their own
I have had this laptop since 09/2021, and have not used the keyboard ONCE. This is my main PC at home, with another keyboard and mouse hooked up to it, and displaying unto a 31" PC monitor and a 4K 75" (yes, 75) TV. I would not travel with this laptop. I have a cheaper MSI laptop for that. This thing is a beast, even two years later.
I bought one, I love it. Major bug where I couldn't upgrade to 21H2 or 11. Several days of troubleshooting. I just ended up a full wipe. Yes Lisa they definitely should update the software. Windows is absolutely trash. There troubleshooter never ever works. I'm just tired of windows bugs. It's so so ridiculous. There lucky Linux isn't gaming mainstream. I would have left a long time ago
I love these reviews, but I’m still can’t decide which one. I definitely want the ryzen 9 and the 3080 or 3070. I’m looking for a gaming laptop to play warzone on when I travel for work. Spend a lot of time in hotels. I play Xbox series S at home on an acer gaming monitor. Which laptop would be best that has the best thermals? This one or the legion or MSI or any other suggestions. I don’t have a budget. Just want a good laptop for warzone that won’t get too hot
4:20 Wait is it true that 3070 is better than 3080 8gb? I'm asking this cause I'm buying the strix g15 (2022 model) with 3080 8gb, and this cost almost the same as 3070ti varient. So should I buy the 3070ti instead???
Perfect review here, you feel the same about this laptop as I do and the darn keystone trash. Only game I have that pushes the heat on this laptop is flight simulator 2020 the cpu will run in the 90s when gaming with a large group online and using discord. Otherwise its 80s all the way.
Thanks Lisa as usual a stellar review. I prefer a 17inch screen which would be better Asus ROG Strix Scar or the MSI GE 76 ? I am not too worried about playing around internally as I am a complete novice when it comes to laptops and PC's. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
What keyboard do you use then? I have a mechanical logitech g11 but the key travel is too much for me. Can't find a decent keyboard with not much travel
Hey Lisa, would really appreciate your recommendation on this.. I have the option to get this exact model or the ge66 2070 model (last year's) , market in my country is very limited. laptop is mainly for architectural modeling and rendering
Yep, only one I could find on Amazon to link to for now. Pretty hard to find these on any storefront. For those in the US, Microcenter has the once in a (great) while.
How does the ROG Strix Scar 15 compare with the Razer Blade 15 Advanced. The QHD panel on the Scar is 165Hz, while the QHD panel on the Razer is 240Hz. The Alienware m15 R4 or R5 is also an option but the screen is 300Hz but Full HD.
Me too. Though the frame rates are plenty high enough for me at QHD, so I can live with it (I'm not a highly competitive eSports player). I'm more AAA gaming.
@@mobiletechreview Same here, although I got the last RTX 3080 8 GB GPU / 1080p 300hz screen on ASUS's website because the other configurations were sold out.

MSI GE66 raider with same spec (with intel processor) also have same price tag. Tax might keep the price high IMHO.
Debating between this and the Alienware M15 R5. Leaning toward this because the 1440p 165hz sounds like a sweet spot. Plus I can get 2 SSD's in Raid 0. I am concerned about the 130W GPU though.

Ha u must have read the David 2 review lol he compalined so much about the keyboard thanks for review am going go for this ASUS ROG STRIX G15 15.6" Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7, RTX 3070 Ti, 1 TB SSD as a programmer I dont need the gaming extras the scar gives me and for some reason currys uk have the above one as the 300hz panel
pls make a video on turning off the AMD radeon default settings (brightness decrease if not plugged in) and updating all the drivers and stuff. many people around the world would appreciate it. xD
Zeph: 1 lb. weight less, no RGB bling, significantly lower wattage GPU. Zeph competes more with the Razer, this one competes with Alienware and MSI GE Raider.
to add, Zeph is more to thin and light, while Scar is the gaming powerhouse. If you're looking to do both work and light gaming, suggest Zeph G14/15 or M series, or if you do heavier gaming, choose Scar or Strix G15 as they got more power and bulkier. Not saying that either cannot do work/heavy gaming, they can, just different built I guess.
The keyboard is fine unless you have bionic hearing. This thing is so much smoother even at similar frame rates Compared to my asus rog zephyrus g15. Must be the extra VRAM on the 3080.
My oh my, what a wonderful review!!! Learned so many things from this video! The temperatures, the Thunderbolt 3 (it should be obvious but it never ran thru my mind that an AMD chipset wouldn't have an Intel technolgy. Yeah I know, it's pretty obvious). Lack of SD slot, but great display, great configuration. I'm wondering if this would be a good choice over a desktop with similar configuration. I mean, usually notebooks have space and thermal limitations, so maybe on a desktop with the "same" hardware, the performance would be better, right? Thanks again.
