    I forgot to talk about the LEDs on the back of the screen but in short, I don't really care for them. LEDs drain battery, and I don't think I would show that off in public. It's not REALLY a flex if the only reason people notice is because you've got lights flashing in their face lol.
    Otherwise, absolute champ of a laptop. If you want an excellent all-around laptop, this is it. I'm curious to know if you would opt for a 4800H in this laptop, there seems to be plenty of thermal headroom left with the fans kicking.

      What are the specs on your laptop? I have a G14 with a 4800H (with the 1660ti) but it apparently is a special version running at 35 watts. Runs cool, but based on other reviews comparing it to laptops with a similar Ryzen configuration, it is considerably slower than the 4900hs version.

    I subscribed, primarily because you are the only reviewer so far that covers beyond the typical review. I don't see any other reviewers using their own gear to cover the screen's contrast ratio, color coverage etc. Covering the trackpad material was also a plus. Thanks for sharing your findings! Please continue doing these display tests as they are really great!
    Also if you happen to know of a Laptop with VA panel instead of IPS please let me know. IPS panels are junk to me with sub par contrast ratio while VA panels have usually 3x more contrast ratio than IPS (1000:1 vs 3000:1).

      One technology making 2060 worth getting is DLSS. It makes a machine much more future-proof, scaling low-rez for higher one and giving lots of FPS. 1660 Ti can’t do that, so not worth it IMO.

      Design is a broad term. Graphics design , yeah it'll do. CAD design in something like Fusion 360, eh depends on the complexity of your models but should be acceptable. Web and UI design in something like Figma should be fine on a potato. 1650 Ti should be fine for casual gaming, which I would define as 1080p medium.
      Again, what you mean by design and the complexity of your projects will dictate how fast of a computer you need. But I don't believe that configuration will fail to meet minimum requirements for any big programs.

    • @anthonya.jumelles7103
      @anthonya.jumelles7103 3 года назад +1

    • @InfinityLabsTech
      @InfinityLabsTech  3 года назад

      So here's the thing right. I don't doubt that some people can subconsciously tell the difference between response times because I have trained my ears to tell small differences between different headphones and different keyboards, but only because I have extensive experience with both category of products. I'm not trained in response times so I can't tell, and I also focus too much on the gameplay to even tell 144hz from 60hz (for example, it takes a lot of concentration to rapidly switch between 10 different weapons in DOOM Eternal). If you take the time to compare a good monitor against a bad monitor side by side, you can learn what to look out for and be able to subconsciously tell what response times you're looking at. To answer your question, someone with little to no experience will likely not be able to tell if their response times are good or bad without concentrating hard and actively looking out for it. And even then, unless you've seen what good response times look like, you probably won't be able to tell since you don't have a point of reference.

    One question tho, do the surface temps get really high, like uncomfortably high? Please do tell for both cases , doing simple productivity and while gaming

    • @InfinityLabsTech
      @InfinityLabsTech  3 года назад +2

      Never uncomfortably hot, even on the performance fan profile. There's Windows > Performance > Turbo > Manual (max fans). Performance is pretty quiet, not very loud IMO but the surface near the top of the keyboard gets hot like a hot tub. With fans at full speed, it's warm at most (while gaming).
      Light use, I don't think it really warms up. Part of that might be because the surface uses a material that's thermally insulating. Like how silicone is used for oven mitts because they insulate heat very well. Soft feeling and thermally insulating, but don't quote me on that. I would first need to confirm the material used for the surface finish.

      Batteries work by the cells getting “excited”. When the laptop is constantly at 100%, that will constantly keep the battery in the excited state, and it will heavily the longevity of the battery. That is why most lithium batteries are about 50% when they are being shipped, so that they last in storage as long as possible. Over discharging to 0% also heavily impacts the battery.

    Please Reply. I'm in Dilemma 🙄🤔

    • @InfinityLabsTech
      @InfinityLabsTech  3 года назад +1

      Yes, you can. What people mean by 8+8 is the first 8GB of your 8GB stick will run in dual channel, meaning double the bandwidth because your CPU reads and writes from the 8GB soldered RAM and the first 8GB of your 16GB stick. The remaining 8GB of your 16GB stick runs in single channel, so half the maximum possible bandwidth. This is inevitable because ASUS chose to solder on the other 8GB DIMM.
      Your total RAM will be 8+16 = 24GB, the first 16GB of RAM used will be double bandwidth (better performance, basically) and the last 8GB will have the bandwidth of only one stick. There is nothing unsafe about it, it's just not ideal. If you had two sticks of 16GB, it means all your RAM will run in dual channel, meaning maximum performance.

    One question though, the back vents of the laptop(when the hinge is fully opened) are angled towards the bottom part of the panel and exerts hot air towards it. Does that result in potential
    Risk for the laptop display?

    • @InfinityLabsTech
      @InfinityLabsTech  3 года назад +5

      Good question, I forgot to record thermal footage of the surface again. If I had, I would have been able to give temperature readings for risk assessment. I suppose it's a concern in theory, but I can't really give you a definite answer outside of my own guesses. If you ask me, I'm not concerned because the LCD panel itself only extends into the bezel by a tiny amount. The exhaust air is warm, not really hot, so the mild heat shouldn't affect the LCD which is like an inch above the exhaust vents. Basically, the heat doesn't really reach the LCD because the bottom bezel is empty inside except for maybe the WiFi and Bluetooth antennae (if the body is metal, the waves can't penetrate out so it's gotta do it through the plastic screen bezel). If you want actual data, you can try searching for complaints of screen damage on the MSI prestige 15 and Zephyrus S, both of which exhaust up onto the screen. The Zephyrus S pulls more power so if that thing survives, in theory, so should this.
