Almost a Perfect Gaming Laptop! ROG Zephyrus G16 Review 

I remember that my dad practically spent all our savings on the thing ahaha. It was great at Test Drive Unlimited if I recall!

​@@DavisFangTechDo you have any old or unused gadgets you could send me, Davis?

Also, in helper, set your refresh rate to auto

Yes, I did try to use all the battery saving tips, but even so I got rather disappointing performance.

After some more research, it does appear to be reversible, so I do apologise about that mistake

Love Jarrod’sTech, met him at PAX last year! And yes, the many configurations did confuse me a little while making this video. While I haven’t tested the higher specified versions, I would worry about thermal throttling in a body this slim

@@DavisFangTech 4060 & 4070 comes with "normal" cooling, 4080 comes with a vapor chamber, and 4090 has a vapor chamber + liquid metal if i remember correctly.

Umm, that is weird, but that’s not what I saw here. Did you update the drivers tot heir latest versions?

I defaulted to 240hz, but I accidentally forgot to mention that in 60hz, you can get an extra 60-90 min of battery

It’s now under the windows settings rather than the ROG app

did you manage to change the colour ?

@@DavisFangTech the aura sync is not working now

🥰🥰🥰

Great video, I’m considering the laptop but with the higher specs. In terms of battery, how does this compare to other laptops with similar spec like the xps16 or yoga pro 9i would you say?

@@filipdabrowski269 I would say that this is slightly worse, but kind of in the same ballpark. I did forget to mention that the 240hz kills the battery. When set to 60hz, you can see an extra 90 min of battery or so, in which case is similar

​@@filipdabrowski269 If u care so much about battery go AMD man they are much more efficient and don't have those shitty P-E cores.

The strix is aimed to deliver the best performance while the Zephyrus is more design led.

Bro, it’s a thin gaming laptop, what did you expect? They are all like that.

Ahaha, I’m sure you are!

Probably around 4

@@DavisFangTech thats bad as I work remotely 8 hours per day and wouldn't be able to work with this one from coffee shops of nature. I'm thinking about Macbook Air M2 15 which has up to 18 hours of battery life. Is there any other windows laptop with good battery life that you can recommend?

@@SpireskiTabI get around 9 hours on my g14 OLED, which I assume this one would be better. It depends on what you’re doing. For just emails and web browsing, you’ll get around the same as me I assume. Def needs some tweaking tho!

im planning getting one, is 4k recommended

@@hung5398 i think you misunderstood me, i meant i had the xps from 2007, no 4k back then :) but yeah definitely get the 4k now, it's needed for a screen that size

Yes it is

But it's worth the significant increase in quality.

I agree

What is there to take care of? Should I get a screen protector? Clean it often?

It’s fairly quiet normally, but can get quite loud when you’re pushing the computer

OMG!

There are both options!

@@DavisFangTech thank you I just bought the i9 4090 the ASUS web site is not good to navigate lol

I love that gaming laptops don’t have to look like gaming laptops anymore!

I’ll see if they’ll lend me one ahaha

I didn't find it to be wobbly

I think it might be different because he mentioned how the version he had was slightly different due to living in Australia so maybe the build quality is a little better

Fan noise is not that loud it didn’t disturb me.

Sorry, haven’t tested the ROG phones!

Do we care? Linux desktop is so 2005. Put your penguin retro os on VMware and be done with it.

Sucks to suck! I’m middle class and I absolutely can afford this and I have a family and kids

​@@CCthekink123I am never going to afford anything like this. And I'm middle class where I live.

@@vdhazer I’m empathetic towards that for sure but you can move or get a better job or find somewhere that gives you money towards a laptop for work. If you can’t ever spend 3k on something you might want to reconsider your situation and what you’re aiming at because the average new car is 48k and the average mortgage is 2100$/month. If you can’t buy those things you’re probably not middle class… Like I realize that peoples situations are all different but fuck that go become someone so valuable that you can ask for whatever wage you want. It will be hard as fuck but people do it all the time. I remember stealing fruit from the grocery store to eat 12 years ago and now this is an impulse buy for me. I know it can be done. Never say never. FYI In speaking strictly for the United States. We’re externally lucky and lost a lot of good men and women for what we have today.

It’s very similar price to the equivalent Lenovo?

@@DavisFangTech yes.. it’s about the same or less than everything in the same class.

It’s not quite as mad as you describe, but expectations need to be kept in check ahaha

Sounds like you're broke

@@3rdvoidmen594 sound like you are stupid to buy things that dont worth the money. Good for you. Thats what poor people say and do. Good luck bozo.

You call it a piece of trash but also good no question. Poor consistency in your criticism.

@@3rdvoidmen594 buy it bc its amazing
