@@shikikanaz4624 yeah i feel ya, I live in a medium apartment with my gf and she won't allow a pc desktop because we can't really afford to use up more space than we already have
@@jeremyvelez7544i have both one at my place of work and the 4090 at home. Get the 4090 it’s so much more tastier when it comes to performance. I got it simply for monster hunter wilds
GPU temps look great for such a beast with 4090m! My Strix SCAR 17 with laptop 3080ti sits at 80C all the time at high load while this barely goes over 70C. And all this while showing sick FPS
The 4000 series can blow anything off the charts when there is FG support. Then it doesn‘t even break a sweat and stays in low temp ranges. But since temp throttling almost always is an issue in laptops it normally runs hotter than a desktop gpu if it clocks high and draws its 175W. My 4090m stays about 20C cooler due to water cooling in a gaming laptop, so does the cpu (10-20C). But there is always a noticeable difference with or without DLSS 3 (FG). Maybe you need to open and clean it from dust from time to time.
How did you like the keyboard? Are the speakers good on this laptop? Lastly what did you think about the battery life? Thank you for taking the time to review this laptop.
@@Blue-Lady thank you for providing that information. I ended up ordering a Blade 16. Display is beautiful, speakers are really good, battery life not great. I'm still thinking I should have stuck withe Asus since Razer customer support is horrible.
Really love this review format! Although it would be great to see some non DLSS or DLSS Quality benchmarks on the CPU bottlenecked games to see what the GPU can achieve. Also would like to know if the laptop was in the performance or turbo mode? I think performance is 150w GPU and Turbo gives you the full 175W
What do you love about it? It is classic 100% noob review, full of pointless marketing bla bla with very little to none „real“ review information, waste of time and electricity if you ask me. Check out Jarrod‘s Tech to see what real review should look like.
@TeacherToolkitDemo You cry, while he is giving an actual opinion with actual points, while you "cry". I like both btw, get info from a few sides, if not more👍
I just watched SkyFall and couldn't help notice your striking resemblance to Q :). Also, that IPS glow would be an instant exchange or refund for me, it was super noticeable while you were playing Dead Space at these price points they have to do better quality control.
Razer Blade 18 * Acer Predator Helios 18 * Asus Strix Scar 18 * Asus Strix G18 * Alienware M18 . Which laptop of these will be the most reliable ? which is the best ?
Would have liked to see some actual benchmarks. Especially that could be compared against I9-13900K/4090 and 4080 desktops. We know laptop CPU's/GPU's give up some performance it would be nice to see how much. I feel the 4K price is just to rob early adopters with more money than sense. I imagine it will be below 3k by Black Friday. Gigabytes Aorus laptop with an i7-13700 and 4080 for £2249 looks like a steal right now.
It's so people buy the 30 series because it meets their needs, and nvidia can clear their backlog that they didn't sell last year. Think they know after years of selling that it's not meant to make economical sense for everyone. There is a plan
This channel isn't an actual tech channel, he's an unboxer that reads off the marketing material, like MKHD. Go to gamers nexus, digital foundry, LTT (with a grain of salt), and hardware unboxed (also with a grain of salt).
I plan on getting an RTX 4090 laptop sometimes in a few months. It will definitely be an upgrade from anything I've had before, and this is definitely better than my RTX 3080 desktop I had in 2022. I would rather go all out on this, and there are already price drops happening.
For me laptop does work out well, especially considering modern day laptops are kinda beating the performance of previous gen desktops. Also it includes monitor and keyboard. For me it's not costing significantly more, if including screen and keyboard/mouse, it comes close to the same total. I also need the mobility of a laptop and even last gen laptop RTX 3060 and RTX 3070ti came within 10-15% of the perfomance as their desktop counter parts, used less eletricity or around about to do so as well. Even the Ryzen CPUs (3-7, not the 9s) were coming really close to their desktop performances s well. kinda works for me
Same here, I literally got rid of my full tower desktop for a laptop and it definitely works out for what I want and I still get really decent performance from my laptop as well as being able to take it with me and also have a smaller more tidier work space.
Sure, that's a very good point. For those who games only at home however (or simply use their PC at home), and only want to upgrade their GPU, desktops end up cheaper to upgrade later on since you only have to buy the GPU. For example in my country, new RTX 3060 GPU cost roughly USD365, while a good new RTX3060 laptop are around USD1300. Bottle neck due to old CPU? Just crank up the game quality. Unless bottle neck is really really bad, then you maybe need to update the whole system. Ofcourse, this comes back to each individuals need. Unless, external GPU to laptop becomes common, maybe you can deal with the expensive update of laptops. Just maybe....
@@moonlightbuterfly Yeah that's fair. For me it's not that needed and there are external GPU things i can buy if i need just GPU upgrade. FOr me i have been able to make a 1000 AUD laptop last around 8 years before i had to get a new one, then bought a 600 AUD one that lasted me 5 years. I dont really see myself needing to update a laptop until 7 years. i also need the portability and i do not have space for a desktop currently either. Desktop we did have lasted 7-8 years as well before it got so unusable and that was $2k AUD. If i had the space and didnt need to move around a bit with it, id have gotten a desktop. For me the cost becomes even. I guess 200-300 AUD cheaper with desktop given i can keep th ekeyboard and monitor
I'm lucky enough to have quite a bit of downtime at work where sadly I spend more time than at home. So a laptop of this caliber is exactly what I am looking for.
I have same laptop 32.0 GB ram edition. Tested ton of games, only had problems with Star Citizen which is poorly optimized, on max setting 4k resolution it could run only on 50+ fps... Rest games runs minimum on 120+ fps. I only have 2 problems, but I think it is most of from software. Sometimes it makes static noises on battery and GPU switching system is not really good. At the end it is superb laptop, the sound is awesome, it even have bases, screen is nice. Build quality is very nice. I think it is best option for people who travel a lot.
Still sitting on old predator helios 300, seems to run new games and does it the work. Planning on buying new laptop, I'm very interested about temperatures and dust protection. As for old predators you need to repaste it every 2 years and usually I find tons of dust. This one seems to have gigantic vents, so cooling must be very good, but I'm imagine how much it can suck up dust. Saw advertising video on new predator models that it had some caps on vents that you can place.
I am buying this Laptop and few other things for streaming setup and the total price is bit over 6000€ i will sell my current laptop and desktop To lower The price, since i saw it once i checked all New laptops and came To decide that this is The one To go for. I need portability cuz my school, so this is The Best one for me, but The downside is that since its so New i gotta wait around 3-5 months To get. But i will wait for it, gotta get the Best!
@@augustusmaximus891 it’s awesome! Silky smooth frames, I did a small undervolt on it, but otherwise not really anything. The fans aren’t as noisy as I was expecting and the performance is far greater than I expected! Screen wonderful! So yeah, very pleased with it!
@@corbett666 See it's been two weeks since this comment, how's the laptop? Is there coil whine, I heard there's a lot of fan coil whine, is this true? I've been eyeing this laptop, def one of the ones I want to get
@@kimmythegoat34 I couldn’t be happier with it. There is a tiny coil whine occasionally, but frankly you can only hear it if it’s super quiet and it’s just booting up and warming up. Performance os great and it’s really easy to move around compared to my old Alienware beast! Performance is mind boggling in such a tiny thing, and I’ve managed to overclock it quite a lot with no issues at all. Screen beautiful, and it’s been super reliable. So yes, if it’s on your list, get it.
My dream, I regret not being able to make this dream come true, day after day since the launch I don't get tired of watching the videos, simulating ultra configurations and always positively thinking about having a machine like this in my hands one day. I thank God for this, I always tell my children that one day Dad will be blessed to benefit from this resource. My dream continues.
Cool review. You should review the ROG Zephyrus Duo 16--the 4090 variant. I want you to compare both since it has an additional monitor and the same GPU.
Literally the only time I can understand and justify the lack of Runescape 3 in benchmarks - running it on a laptop would set it aflame, 4090 or not. Still, counting days till you get a beefy enough PC to benchmark it on.
Thanks for the review...nice to see a laptop as well as desktops. Next time you do a laptop review, could you include battery performance? Be interested to see how long this would last playing a high end game with high/top end settings without the plug in!
There is no such thing as playing games with high end / top settings without plugging in.. guessing your new to laptops / desktop replacements.... batteries can't output the wattage to power the cpu/gpu
If your main concern for gaming laptops is battery life then you are in the wrong section. Gaming laptops especially those built for performance are not meant to be on battery. Most even throttle automatically when on battery. It's meant to be plugged in.

Cool and all but.. for that price you can build one heck of a setup, not just great PC.. the whole thing, only people that NEED a portable station will consider this.
I got mine scar 17 3080Ti 16gb, 3TB SSD, 64 ram and for 4750$ and it’s glitching crazy… even warranty can’t help! Wasting money 💰 It was working for 6 months then it’s not turning on sometimes, if it’s finally turned on it’s stuck on opening any files, games, apps on computer… never buy loptop with the extra ram or memory! You can be out of your warranty. Crazy!
First with the mislabelled 4080 that they had to de-launch and now with the 4090 laptop, Nvidia really needs to stop lying to their consumers. Performance however is incredible, 3080TI/3090TI Desktop performance in a laptop is now a reality!
I've seen the 4090 laptop GPU in a few laptops, compared against other high end GPUs and while some games are indeed seeing a decent increase to outstanding, but there's also quite a few that the increase is in the 20 to 30 percent, that's not worth the price unless you only play the games that see a massive uplift for the price it's in my opinion not worth it
Not sure what your specific usecase is mr.Wick, but I can assure you for those of us only using high end VR (VARJO AERO and XTAL3) it makes a huge difference.
@@TomiIslam33 I agree they should some how, but I'm aware this was a laptop card what I was saying was for the price your going to pay for this laptop it's just not worth it in my humble opinion, is all I got last year's best and quite excited with it
I'm planning to run mine on my 8 30 inch 2560x1600 monitor setup at my home office, 6 30 inch 2560x1600 monitors in the office and with two Innoview 18 inch 2560x1600 500 nits portable monitors and a 14 inch ultrawide 3840x1100 Wisecoco portable monitor everywhere else that isn't space constrained. Including on my bespoke dual monitor couch gas arm mount. For planes, trains, busses and passenger seats I'm running it with the integrated monitor and the 14 inch Wisecoco using a custom bracket to mount it to the top edge.
my old ASUS Rog Strix laptop is almost 3 years in use and it works like new, it have a liquid metal thermo paste, I didn't reaply thermo paste, temps are not rising, there's no throttle, only thing is, you need to clean fans from the dust 2 to 4 times in the year
After playing for more than 2hrs-3hrs at highest settings possible, u will start to notice that ur laptop can also be used as a room heater. So u don't have to pay any extra bill further :)
I have the Strix 17se with the 3080Ti and 12950hx, for the 2k 240hz display I find it already sufficient to make everything run well ..these are excellent machines, nothing to do with msi and various barebones, I also prefer it to razer. The only thing is the ddr5 still stuck at 4800 even in 2023, among other things here you can't put the ddr 5 5600 because you can't put the xmp profile in the bios .. the only shortcoming of these monsters
I also have the 3080 version but these laptops are wayyy beyond the performance of our machines. I get like 80fps on Lost ark. Im sure this laptop would get me to like 170fps
im interested in the 4050 with thr upgrades and dlss 3 + frame gen surely its alr better than last years 3060 which was alr enough for most ppl AAA games high settings at 60fps and competetive games running easily ofc all at hopefully a good value
Bruh 4070 is straight trash and not much of a difference when a 3080 can beat a 4070. If you want real performance get a 4090 or stick with a 3080 ti for the moment
I do like the improvements made, however with gaming laptops, high end to low end, I always find there is stutter involved where on desktop there is not as much.
@@Sanadtm I am not a reviewer, however I was a major enthusiast, I have tried virtually all the laptops from 30 series and varying wattages. Yes, there was stutter. Yes, you are right, less wattage and obtaining higher performance is great, however the laptops also rely heavily on the processing software like FSR or DLSS, but again are better optimized in order to squeeze out the most FPS per watt. You are right that it's impressive to see the ratios of performance and wattage, however you are incorrect as I have direct knowledge and use case scenerios on these laptops with stutter on a variety of games, SKU's, and performance. I also very much distrust laptop manufacturers now, my favorite was when ASUS claimed to be the most powerful, yet did not even have a MUX until recently in their SKU's. As well as when they were asinine with their GPU descriptions, and were deceptive because a manufacturer would claim a high powered 3080, yet it was limited at 95W and it would be no where on any page to see the wattages other than the technical data lol. That is why I went back to desktop.
For only 3500-4k? For around 4 thousand dollars I can have one too?!?!?!?!?!?! God dang what a good god damn deal. Hope I can get one before it sells out!
Great review Bro...I love it.. please I wanna upgrade from my old Old alienware area 51 first gen to a new one but I want something less bulky...can you compare with razer 18 or alienware x18...thank you
Funny enough I really wanted to buy one despite the fact it's out of stock everywhere & you putting it next to your head actually help with realizing i'm buying a movable PC 🤣
I was playing Total War Warhammer 3 on max settings and was getting 210 watts on the gpu and 124 watts on cpu, is that normal? Seems a bit high cause many cpu cores were 99c and 98c and cpu was 81c with gpu memory at 106c. Seems like this unit is a little over juiced.
You havent really tried 4K on a small screen before then, there is literally no difference in pixels at 14-18 inches. Image is as sharp in 1080p as 4k. 1600p is great for a small screens
I have ASUS Rog Strix Scar 15 2560x1440p 240 hz QHD 3ms screen i9-12900H RTX 3080 Ti 16Gb with MUX Switch(video card can be conected directly to screen what can give 9% to 30% better performance). 2x 16GB(32GB) kit RAM DDR5 4800MHz 2TB SSD 5,000 MB/s This laptop can handle every game on maxed out settings and it's worth the money

If your main concern for gaming laptops is battery life then you are in the wrong section. Gaming laptops especially those built for performance are not meant to be on battery. Most even throttle automatically when on battery. It's meant to be plugged in.
Cool and all but.. for that price you can build one heck of a setup, not just great PC.. the whole thing, only people that NEED a portable station will consider this.
I got mine scar 17 3080Ti 16gb, 3TB SSD, 64 ram and for 4750$ and it’s glitching crazy… even warranty can’t help! Wasting money 💰
It was working for 6 months then it’s not turning on sometimes, if it’s finally turned on it’s stuck on opening any files, games, apps on computer… never buy loptop with the extra ram or memory! You can be out of your warranty. Crazy!
First with the mislabelled 4080 that they had to de-launch and now with the 4090 laptop, Nvidia really needs to stop lying to their consumers. Performance however is incredible, 3080TI/3090TI Desktop performance in a laptop is now a reality!
Oof I need this for zoom meetings and replying emails. How do I brainwash my employer to buy me this?
Please ASUS ROG release 18 inch laptop with mini led too
I'm kind of interested in the graphic design and light 3D modeling if you don't mind talk about a little bit of that
just watching and waiting to see how much heat that things puts out
I've seen the 4090 laptop GPU in a few laptops, compared against other high end GPUs and while some games are indeed seeing a decent increase to outstanding, but there's also quite a few that the increase is in the 20 to 30 percent, that's not worth the price unless you only play the games that see a massive uplift for the price it's in my opinion not worth it
Not sure what your specific usecase is mr.Wick, but I can assure you for those of us only using high end VR (VARJO AERO and XTAL3) it makes a huge difference.
rich ppl dont give a shit
Don't forget laptop gpu is mobile its only fits 64% of real 4090 desktop soo laptop gpus should be named different
Hmm is laptop screen and keyboard free?
@@TomiIslam33 I agree they should some how, but I'm aware this was a laptop card what I was saying was for the price your going to pay for this laptop it's just not worth it in my humble opinion, is all I got last year's best and quite excited with it
I'm planning to run mine on my 8 30 inch 2560x1600 monitor setup at my home office, 6 30 inch 2560x1600 monitors in the office and with two Innoview 18 inch 2560x1600 500 nits portable monitors and a 14 inch ultrawide 3840x1100 Wisecoco portable monitor everywhere else that isn't space constrained.
Including on my bespoke dual monitor couch gas arm mount.
For planes, trains, busses and passenger seats I'm running it with the integrated monitor and the 14 inch Wisecoco using a custom bracket to mount it to the top edge.
I’m just waiting for the asus 4060 laptops
It's a beast....I have a rtx 3070 i7 ...I will wait tho for the rtx 5000 series
Same here. I can always lower some settings if necessary. I used my HP omen 1060 for 4 years
rtx 3070 will be good for at least 3-5 years don't worry
One beautiful powerful laptop!!! Considering purchasing this beast!!!
How good or bad do the speakers sound? Marcus?
12:45 mate that screen bleeding sucks, just replace it to another, trust me it is so annoying
You also need to work with the sound, because sometimes rattling sounds are heard
Hi, thank you for valuable information and good review. Please can you comment the build quality and chassis build materials?
I prefer this since a PC you can’t move it anywhere or take with you anywhere and connect it anywhere.
if you want this with good value get the 4080 version
Whats the longevity of gaming laptops like these? Do they throttle overtime if gamed on extensively each day?
my old ASUS Rog Strix laptop is almost 3 years in use and it works like new, it have a liquid metal thermo paste, I didn't reaply thermo paste, temps are not rising, there's no throttle, only thing is, you need to clean fans from the dust 2 to 4 times in the year
I bought it for my birthday, it’s arriving on the 19th, I’ll edit it then.
After playing for more than 2hrs-3hrs at highest settings possible, u will start to notice that ur laptop can also be used as a room heater. So u don't have to pay any extra bill further :)
🤡🤡🤡🤡
To be fair though, a typical gaming desktop will pump out plenty of hot air too.
I have the Strix 17se with the 3080Ti and 12950hx, for the 2k 240hz display I find it already sufficient to make everything run well ..these are excellent machines, nothing to do with msi and various barebones, I also prefer it to razer. The only thing is the ddr5 still stuck at 4800 even in 2023, among other things here you can't put the ddr 5 5600 because you can't put the xmp profile in the bios .. the only shortcoming of these monsters
I also have the 3080 version but these laptops are wayyy beyond the performance of our machines. I get like 80fps on Lost ark. Im sure this laptop would get me to like 170fps
im interested in the 4050 with thr upgrades and dlss 3 + frame gen surely its alr better than last years 3060 which was alr enough for most ppl AAA games high settings at 60fps and competetive games running easily ofc
all at hopefully a good value
Bruh 4070 is straight trash and not much of a difference when a 3080 can beat a 4070. If you want real performance get a 4090 or stick with a 3080 ti for the moment
bro u should have included benchmark as well
@3:26 Are you sure?? Nebula HDR goes up to 1100 nits!! It's the regular Nebula that's only up to 500 nits!!
You showed the FPS, but not the temperature of CPU and GPU. Show us the temp.
Cool) Very unusual and ultra compact performance system. It would be very cool to buy one for myself, but I'm afraid the price is high for a laptop
Price??
would love to own it, but for a steep price price of $5000-$7000 is too much.
It's pretty bad that I'm getting one of these only to play Victoria 3
i would get this instantly, but most of the reviews mention a weird static sound.
I do like the improvements made, however with gaming laptops, high end to low end, I always find there is stutter involved where on desktop there is not as much.
There is no shutter, laptops GPUs are performing 75% to 85% as their deskstop Couter with 75% less Wattage. I consider that to be very impressive.
@@Sanadtm have you not heard of 1% lows?
@@Sanadtm I am not a reviewer, however I was a major enthusiast, I have tried virtually all the laptops from 30 series and varying wattages. Yes, there was stutter. Yes, you are right, less wattage and obtaining higher performance is great, however the laptops also rely heavily on the processing software like FSR or DLSS, but again are better optimized in order to squeeze out the most FPS per watt.
You are right that it's impressive to see the ratios of performance and wattage, however you are incorrect as I have direct knowledge and use case scenerios on these laptops with stutter on a variety of games, SKU's, and performance. I also very much distrust laptop manufacturers now, my favorite was when ASUS claimed to be the most powerful, yet did not even have a MUX until recently in their SKU's. As well as when they were asinine with their GPU descriptions, and were deceptive because a manufacturer would claim a high powered 3080, yet it was limited at 95W and it would be no where on any page to see the wattages other than the technical data lol. That is why I went back to desktop.
For only 3500-4k?
For around 4 thousand dollars I can have one too?!?!?!?!?!?!
God dang what a good god damn deal.
Hope I can get one before it sells out!
Nice review and great laptop. Thank you sir.
Can it run 2 chrome tabs and excel at the same time? Doubtful
Unfortunately, no. It throttles.
Great review Bro...I love it.. please I wanna upgrade from my old Old alienware area 51 first gen to a new one but I want something less bulky...can you compare with razer 18 or alienware x18...thank you
But can it run Crysis 3?
Is the SCAR 18 still the best laptop & can you test World of Warships please in maximum settings
Can you hear the Coil Whine while watching RUclips, browsing etc AND/OR during gaming? Can Coil Whine be fixed with future software/bios updates?
I would like to buy one, but I ain't that rich like the rest if you guys 😅
Funny enough
I really wanted to buy one despite the fact it's out of stock everywhere & you putting it next to your head actually help with realizing i'm buying a movable PC 🤣
Idk man, I ordered it and there were like 5 in stock
Thank you for the review.
I wish I could afford this, but it would not be a wise decision.
What is the price for 4070 version?
watching it with my scar G16 RTX4080 and 13980HX that grabbed on Mediamarkt for 1400€
with the 16 having a micro led screen and having the exact same specs, would you recommend it over the 18?
So for this price you can get a prebuilt pc with a way better oled and even a stereo setup. Shit add a cute headphone dac/amp there too
How is cooling performance?
I was searching for scar 18 rtx 4090 and you came up. How 👏 🙀 😯 😊🥰
How many hours will this give me?
I want to be able to use this for productivity as well.
the price is higher than your pc gaming set up 🤣
Can you turn off those lights in the front of the laptop? Just curious.
Thanks for the review! What is your timespy score? My rtx strix scar 17 with a 3080 can only hit 11K :(
9:35
i did not know dlss could cause that much latency!
Finally, a 4090 laptop from ASUS ROG!
The battery is holding back the gaming laptops.
in your view is this good to record gameplay while OBS runing ?
My MSI GT72 Dominator, says hello, GT970, thing was a big as a suitcase, unused since BF 2022 :)
How is the laptop battery, mine be getting dumb hot 🔥🥵 any tips to keep it from cooking my eggs
5:17 last year's Asus Strix models had 360Hz screen
A test on accoustics would have been nice.
I was playing Total War Warhammer 3 on max settings and was getting 210 watts on the gpu and 124 watts on cpu, is that normal? Seems a bit high cause many cpu cores were 99c and 98c and cpu was 81c with gpu memory at 106c. Seems like this unit is a little over juiced.
My all-time dream laptop, i guess it will just be a dream with that price 😢
Work.
@@jazzprox8003 i do work. But with that work it takes around 5 years from now to get that kind of laptop
One question, "cant record the desktop on a laptop", why is this?
Thank you
Theyre just 4080s re branded as 4090, so they can charge y’all more..dont be fooled💀
1:21 1:29 ...became uninterested when I saw the specs for screen resolution. If I'm going to buy a 4090 laptop...I want $K experience. :)
You havent really tried 4K on a small screen before then, there is literally no difference in pixels at 14-18 inches. Image is as sharp in 1080p as 4k. 1600p is great for a small screens
I am curious to know if you ever figured out the HDR?
3 or 4 USB 3.2 We need. Intel core j9 RTX 4090 or RTX 5000 64GB Ram 3 SSD 2 Picie 4x4 And 1 Picie Gen5 . I'll wait for get one .
I have ASUS Rog Strix Scar 15
2560x1440p 240 hz QHD 3ms screen
i9-12900H
RTX 3080 Ti 16Gb with MUX Switch(video card can be conected directly to screen what can give 9% to 30% better performance).
2x 16GB(32GB) kit RAM DDR5 4800MHz
2TB SSD 5,000 MB/s
This laptop can handle every game on maxed out settings and it's worth the money
Hows the screen vs a 16" ips? Cuz ofc miniled is superior but what about this vs the 16" of the gstrix for example?
It doesn’t show up on the Amazon link, at least here in CA.
