@5.10 - should have better battery life? The 'ai max' or 'ai max+' lines all have higher TDPs than their straight up 'ai' line (the pro version is really just a tweak), and you say yourself it doesn't have the zen 5c cores..

The Razer Blade 16 is what I expected the Zephyrus G16 to be. Don't know why Asus went with ryzen 7 and again paired with the lower tier GPUs. The blueprint was literally there for the G14.They did the G16 dirty. Not everyone wants a 14" screen. Justice for the Zephyrus G16 😔✊🏽

G14 weighs more than the G16 for some reason while still retaining the lower refresh (120hz vs 240hz), and forced Pro instead of Home (raises price). Speakers and audio is the same as last year so don't expect a change, just compare 2024 and 2025 info as most of it is a copy paste except for ram size, cpu, gpu, updated wifi and USB-C. G16 is the superior from what I can see but I wonder how much of a gap the 285H has closed on the AI 9 HX 370 since it creamed the 185H.

Just a note that the 2025 G16 is a CPU downgrade for the AMD. I believe it's got 4 less cores/8 less threads. Glad to hear they are upgrading the speakers, though. When I buy my next laptop in a few years I expect it to sound as good as a MacBook

Compared to Asus G16 Gorilla Glass with AR layer, Blade 16 has absolutely no coating on its OLED panel, just cheaper standard glass… too much glare. Disappointed they didn’t invest in a better coating this year :( And their cooling pad is SOOO loud. Much louder than than the laptops fans on maximum, while the cooling pad is not. I love Razer, but oh man … will buy the new laptop anyway.
