I have never seen no one in youtube history to do a thorough review of a laptop as you are doing. so im calling u laptop review god .

That battery life is INSANE

Hi, I have a G15 (GA503QR), I notice my wifi connecting to the internet is slow on startup, is this normal? I already change my wifi to wifi 6e, but when I login or startup my laptop, I still wait like 5-10 seconds to connect on wifi to the internet. Even in hibernate. But on other laptop, if they startup their laptop, they already connected on internet without waiting. Can anyone help me?

please please record that Speaker test banger song it's so good. also how did you create it?

One of the best laptop review ever on youtube ! Way to go bro ! Subscribed !

Hello. So if i understand this correctly, does it mean that vbios is useless for high-end GPUs thats already running at maximum wattage? Like say im having an MSI Vector GP78 with an rtx 4090 which runs at 175w maximum, does that mean that i wont be able to flash vbios it to increase more wattage, since its already at maximum limit of that GPU model?

So I wanted to get the new zephyrus g16 but I’m afraid of oled and how quickly it can burn in, I take care of my stuff but it would sit in my head all the time - maybe lower brightness, maybe do this and that ….. I could probably get away with IPS version but that might be very bad, bleeding etc I could maybe find a miniled of zephyrus m16 but the form factor of g16 is amazing, so are speakers - that’s what I heard. Tough choice. There’s also new Lenovo yoga with miniled but their charging port is faulty, also Razer blade 16 2023 but there is not many service centre providers in Europe. :/ tough.

Hi josh , I have a Asus zephyrus g15 (2022) , iam facing problem with Asus optimization. When ever I press any key on my keyboard the microphone gets triggered and I keep seeing pop ups saying microphone on and off . Turning off Asus optimization is disabling other functions of my keyboard like keyboard brightness, aura , fan setting ... Can you please provide me with a solution! ..

Did I just find a gold mine of a channel!!?? Bro seriously this is so in-depth and this is something I would make if I could!! Optimizing the stock laptop to best by adjusting the fan curves and things like that are syrup on the pancake (cherry would have been an understatement). Cheers!!

Can you guys help me out a little bit… I have a choice between this G14 Spec and a Scar 16 13980hx+ 4080. I want it just for gaming, i use my current machine mainly plugged in, idc for portability that much as i dont travel too much, only gaming performance. The synthetic benchemarks dont tell the full story when gaming…when you’re trying to squeeze most performance. Im also worrying about temps, i know how to undervolt but i still am not comfortable to pass the 90 degree mark as i want to keep fan noise a little lower… What should i go with ?

wonder what are some of the brightest screen laptops, with good battery life

Hi Josh, I’m super new to laptop gaming. I always played console (PS5) and owned MacBook pros. I’m stuck between Asus G16 and Razer Blade 16 OLED. I’d love to game on the go, on the plane and wants an OLED screen. If money was no object, which would you buy? Asus G16 or Blade 26? Thx Kyle

I really like the way you do benchmarks and test realse hardware you are now my favrouite reviewer, the section on creator benchmarks was perticullary great but also the noise tests, out of interests would you recommend a configuration in G helper for photoshop (I assume a CPU priority mode)?

Does the predator helios have it?

No windows laptop is worth it, MacBook wins every time. Cry about it

Wish that mine had the AniMe Matrix. Kinda stupid it has the holes for it but it doesn't even have it. Pretty much faulty advertising.

Thanks for clarifying this for me. 😎👍🏾

Thanks Josh for the great content. I bought Lenovo Yoga Pro Gen 9 with Mini Led. After MacBook Pro M1, I immediately understood that the screen seemed weird for me. I couldn't name it. Now I can understand what is it. Because of it I returned it back. Now I am considering to buy another one. There's a 2023 Mini Led Razor 16 RTX 4070 with discounted price. I torn between buying it or not. But probably I should not to buy in order to not feel regret in the future.

I don't like it. The MacBook style, the unable-to-angle-all-the-way-back-of-the-screen,-the low-travel keyboard keys. I don't think it's my style! I am glad I have the 2022 M16. : )

The hinge is definitely quite wobbly when you are typing while having it on your lap. A person has to be a robot if they don’t make it wobble when on their lap 😂.

Just Josh says the Yoga Pro 9i has better cooling and lower noise compared to the G16, and according to Notebook Check, the Yoga Pro 9i also has slightly better gaming performance. What are your thoughts on this? I've been debating between these two models for a long time. Thanks! (Both are 4060 versions) Additionally, your final thought part is very considerate!

Make it an AMD only processor and make the ram replaceable

Thanks a lot for you answer, my expectatikns are for 3-4 years, because of the changra on graphics cards and chips. I Will Go with g16 then.

any good and less expensive alternative?

8:48 I am on my third exchange now with the trackpad issue and am starting to wonder if that’s just the way it is with this product. Are people just dealing with it or am I unlucky?

Hey man awesome review! I had one question. When playing SDR games I set the display mode to srgb in Armory Crate. I was wondering what value of the colour slider corresponds to D65 (6500K) which the display was factory calibrated to in srgb profile? I want the most accurate image

Amazing review, you could not ask for a more comprehensive breakdown.

Does it really need an hour coverage? No

Getting like 3-5% more fps with 10° higher temps is just stupid

Manufacturers limit power based on it's thermal capability. 90% of the times increasing the watt is gonna throttle the gpu and make it worse

Only disabling CPU Boost and uninstalling ArmoryCrate dropped my Cpu temps by 15 degrees, (so i can use it comfortable on the lap) of course also extended my battery life for hours now. Havent played with undervolting and power limits yet. maybe i can squeeze some more hours out of it.

Thank you Josh from ALGERIA !

This is a standout review. By far the best I've seen while recently shopping for this device. Thank you for focusing on useful user information, rather than the typical wall-to-wall braindead bench marks so many others seem to rest on. The Benchmark to Noise comparisons were particularly useful.

In Eco and Silent mode I'm discharging at 16W with nothing opened. How are you getting such low energy consumption? Is it because I'm using the version with three fans maybe?

Hello Josh, I'm impressed but the review, and TRULY love the G16, but I do not know if it will futhfill my needs. I will be using my new Laptop as my main workstation and carry it quite usually, with the purpose of 3D (Rhino, Blender, twinmotion, revit, lumion..) and AI (Training and program). Would you recommend the Zephyrus G16 gen 9(2024) with RTX 4090 or should I go Legion Pro 7i gen 9 ? My only concern is the soldered RAM, being not upgradeable(while being 7680) might compromise the "expected Life" of the laptop(around 3-4 years), since 32gb is the "new normal". I'm not interested in Gaming at all, but AI and most rendering and vectors are nvidia "friendly", not so uch with AMD. Those are my 2 option for several reasons. Thanks in advance.

Nice!

I don't think it is for me. This laptop costs 2250 euros in my country, which is for the Ultra 7 155H + 4070 and 16 GB ram. If i compare that to the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i with added Mini-led screen, i9-185H + 4070 and 32 gb ram, which costs about the same for 2340. This is also partly because Lenovo is kind enough to offer student coupons, for 10% off. ASUS does throw in a free backpack which is nice, but no extra premium care unlike lenovo for only 1 euro more (why the 1 euro lol). ASUS has the faster shipping but i don't really need it now per se. I think i will go for the Yoga 9i, since it offers considerable performance improvements for 100 euro more, what do you think?

Thanks!

G15 is way expensive than legion also you are clearly exaggerating rather than comparing like design should not be a comparison rather than preference I mean if you didn't like the design and aspect ratio of the display in the first place why would you buy it lol 🥴 seems like a paid review rather than a genuine one 😊

In your opinion which one is better zephyrus g16 4090 or Alienware x16 R2 4090?

Bro fucking great review! Thank you for addressing the Hardware Canucks Video, it was the number one thing keeping me from touching this laptop. Only additional thing I wish was in the vid was a comparison between the video card tiers. I’m currently trying to decide between the 4080 and 4090 models

anyone know software to increase gpu wattage for nvidia laptops besides vbios

When flashing the 3060vbios it semi works it boots up can’t run games. Gpu is at 310mhz any way to fix this cause I just ended up flashing the original bios back

Thank you for the thorough and detailed review of this laptop! I have seen other videos from you as well and I find your reviews and topics very well chosen(such as the mini led comparison video). Thanks to you, I might be buying the 2023 G14 with the same ryzen processor but with rtx4080 and mini led display in it for approximately 2200 USD(buying in Korea, so depending on the current currency price might differ time to time). I am still struggling which laptop I would buy in August, but this one is most likely the pick I guess. Keep the good work and well done!^_^

How does BD DT 990 pro sound on this laptop?

Thank you for the video! I am considering buying a laptop with mini led and I was searching information about it.

Hey Josh, having an issue with this laptop where the wifi disconnect whenever i connect to an external screen. Any idea what the issue could be?

Soldered low capacity ram, next

Just watched this entire video this morning at the doctor’s office, great video Josh! And you have a new subscriber. I ordered this laptop the 4090 model open box (great deal from Best Buy) and it’s currently out for delivery as i type this. Thanks for your quick reply on the Hardware Canuck’s review vid that had me worried about my purchase and also bought me here to your detailed review on the 2024 Zephyrus G16. Im new to pc gaming and this will be my first gaming pc and with the power of this beast looks like i can also use it for Ableton Live,Photoshop,Final Cut pro etc. Do you you have any videos on how to set up this laptop for first time beginner’s and also a more detail info on how to set up Ge Helper. Do you recommend installing Ge Helper from the get go or use the Armory software to set up the laptop? Your reply will be greatly appreciated thanks.

will changing setting in manual mode void warranty?
