I have an ASU ROG Strix G15 with a 3050 but it is very heavy and the screen is a bit disappointing in terms of colours even though it has 144hz, and the battery doesn't last long. I need it to edit in photoshop and some normal things in premier. Would it be wise to change to this one? Or is it a bad decision? Thank you very much for your video, it is great for informing.
Thanks that was a great review! And btw I just ordered the RTX4050 version with amd ryzen 9 7940hs, do you think its gonna be capable for gaming like RDR2 or GTA, or maybe Cs:go and Valorant? Couldn't find the 4060 tho😭😭
Thank you for watching! And yes it totally should be, especially with a 4050. Just keep settings on medium and you should be fine. Also, be sure to check and enable Nvidia's performance boosting settings like DLSS and others in the game settings to help hit the highest FPS. Enjoy!
I bought an exact model as yours last month. At first I was looking for an Intel Core Ultra 7H laptop but when I came across this one, it was an immediate buy. And still, here I am looking at unboxing and reviews to convince me that what I bought is as good as, if not better, than Core Ultra 7H laptops out there at the same price.
Haha I feel you man, I do the same thing - I have good news for you though! You made a great purchase that should keep you happy for several years to come :) I know I'm happy with mine!
Great review!! exactly the model im planning to buy, how is it holding up now? Was the performance still sufficient and battery long lasting or do you feel any inconvenient adjusting to a 13in screen? especially while gaming.
Still running great! Performance has been solid, recently have been playing the new Elden Ring DLC and at 1080p low settings, getting a pretty solid 40-50fps with all performance modes turned to max. More than playable and the game still looks great to my eyes! Battery is amazing, especially when not gaming but just using it like a normal laptop. 6-8 hours normal usage, 1.5-2 hours when heavy gaming, so I usually keep it plugged in for max performance. The 13 inch screen has been great to me, knowing that I wanted a small device. I wasn't wanting the ultimate viewing experience, but rather something that is bigger than a steam deck or rog ally but still small enough to travel with and use on a plane or in a hotel. The overall packaging (size, weight) for me is ideal for a device like this that I want to use on the go or in the living room or outside. So still a 10/10 from me! Just know what you're getting, be reasonable in your expectations and what this laptop does best, and you'll be a happy camper. Best of luck finding a good deal!
Nice review! I bought it a few days ago from eBay, open box, shipping to LATAM (I'm from Chile ✌). Still waiting for its arrival. I'm, super nervous but these kinds of videos and reviews reaffirm my decision. Thanks Sam!
Hey! Glad you enjoyed the video! You've got nothing to be nervous about, it's a great machine and super capable! Just be aware of its limitations, but you'll love using this laptop.
Hard to say for sure, but my guess is it will come out sometime this fall/early winter once all the new hardware from intel, AMD, and nvidia is out on the market. Typically new devices launch alongside the new hardware releases.
Hey there! The stylus was not included in the box - I believe the stylus was only included in the boxes of review samples that went out when this version of the laptop launched. The retail version does not include the stylus or other accessories like the bag/case that some other reviewers have shown.
Kicking myself for not getting this when it was on sale lol Instead I got a crappy HP Pavilion Plus 14. It has that same 780m, but it performs nowhere near as well as this does.
Ah man, I'm sorry to hear that! Well I have a hunch it will be back on sale again sometime this summer to make room for the next batch of 2024 laptops. Wish you luck on picking one up!
lil tip wit widow, whenever u get a kill change up your spot even if its only a couple feet, notice how you went back to the spot you killed reaper, next time go over to the left or right and hold the wall there, it makes it harder to predict your location giving you a better chance on keeping the distance and noticing flanks
