With the new 2024 Asus G16 blowing up the internet, is there any value to be had with the 2023 model?

how about the fan noise? is it disturbing when using for work?
@AndrewThrasher19872 ай бұрын
Can't believe I forgot to mention this in the video. Fan noise is very good on this model. Even when connected to an external display, it's totally silent on the 'Silent' Armory Crate profile and mostly silent on 'Balanced' in normal use including 4k KZbin. It does get a bit noisy gaming as you'd expect and you'll hear it for more demanding tasks like video editing as well.

thank you for this review, i've been looking into some laptops as an investment for college that have good color accuracy and performs well in gaming. It's currently my top option against some of the other models like the 2023 g14 or 2024 omen transcend 14.

I've recently been traveling and have done more photo editing exclusively on the G16's screen than I had before. I've realized that while it has a neutral tone unlikely to cause major color balancing issues, it's more washed out/undersaturated than I had realized, which could cause issues dialing in color on vibrant imagery. While I still think it is accurate enough to make content that isn't noticeably off color, it isn't ideal if you're studying design or another field where precise color usage will be evaluated as a factor in your assignments. Both the 2023 G14 and HP Omen Transcend will be more accurate.

If I may offer a piece of feedback for future videos: If you're going to show gaming performance, be sure to put the minimum/maximum frame rates as static figures somewhere, probably under the title of the one you're testing. It's almost impossible to read the performance overlay when watching on a phone. Good review otherwise.

I received the laptop, and it's excellent. However, I must point out that the screen gets hot from the fans. I'm not sure if this will have long-term effects.

@AndrewThrasher19872 ай бұрын
I don't think weight will be an issue at all as it's only a bit over 4lbs which is quite good for a 16-inch laptop. You will need a fairly large bag, but anything that works for a 16-inch Macbook Pro should work for the G16.

I was looking for a review like this. For a price 1350Euro do you think it's still good? ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 GU603VI-N4015W - Gaming Laptop - 16 inch - 240Hz Also I was afraid that I won't be able to upgrade the memory, can you put a link for the memory you got? Thanks
@AndrewThrasher19872 ай бұрын
Looks like that model has a faster CPU, an RTX 4070 and a better screen, so that seems like a pretty fair price for a brand new laptop with good build quality and those specs. This is the memory I used to upgrade from 16GB to 32GB: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09KN7463D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
