BECAUSE You showed us very minute details i subbed - no one else actually Shows you how these small things can add up. The flex testing was really good

[@crimsontechyt]

Thank you! :D I like to be thorough

[@JoshCravesTech]

Would be nice if you showed the GPU/CPU wattage in games on both during those recordings. The Intel Core Ultra is very efficient and doesn’t actually need much wattage in games. It’s very similar performance-per-watt to the 8945HS. At least on the Ultra 9, but I don’t think the Ultra 7 would be too much different.

[@alessandrocerasaro4649]

Thank you so much for this comparison benchmark...

[@MeliodaStkz]

watching from my new g16 :) For all the 9th gen processor models of the g16 it has oled! Also the touchpad from different demos I've tried at best buy has been different on like every model 😭I lucked out with mine especially with the rattle. The display i saw had the rattle. I also opted to pay more for the 4080 ultra 9 spec because of the vapor chamber and that's allowed me to push greater cooling with significantly less fan noise. So yeah in conclusion 4080/4090 g16 is amazing. Less fan noise, better performance, oled screen, same light weight!!!

[@crimsontechyt]

Damn I REALLY want to get my hands on a 4080 model, it's atleast like 50% faster. Enjoy it :D

[@Roop283]

I got my 4080 model about a week ago. So far I'm loving the display

[@yanndev9450]

Does the AMD version also have oled ? It only says ROG Nebula Display on the website... Btw thanks for your comment, I might consider the 4080 instead of the 4070!

[@DRpWnAgE98]

Just a heads up in Canada all models of the G16 come with the OLED, we don’t get the IPS model (also their configurations vary a looot by region)

[@thesecondtonone3010]

Great review. I'm excited for the new G16 with the new Ryzen AI CPU. Hope you can get your hands on one and review it!

[@nileredsexperiment834]

Yah same, hopefully it brings WAY better batt life than the Intel Ultra processors.

[@ali_leo7868]

wish u could compare core ultra 9 185h vs 14900HX in games.

[@TheDylanTremblay]

So glad to see such an informative videos with only the differences and none of the sponsor jargen. Keep it up! Just ordered a g14 yesterday and got to see a g16 for $100 more and i was very tempted to cancel my 4070 g14 for the 4070 g16. Thanks for the insite!

[@crimsontechyt]

Thank you very much! :) Oooh that's tempting :o

[@julesxjoules]

your videos are amazing , and the dancing man make them even better

[@crimsontechyt]

Thank you! Haha :D

[@TheCozmoDeveloper]

You might need to re-run the battery test again, although Intel has E and P cores, they usually tend to use more power and have worse battery life than AMD, with a reported 5-6 hours on intel and 7-9 hours on AMD according to the G14 reddit. I'm also in America so the G16 has 16gb instead of 32gb, making it a even worse deal over here. Other than that, great video, I really liked it

[@JoshCravesTech]

Nah, the Core Ultra chips are surprisingly efficient. I get around 9-10 hours on the G16 and the same on the G14 doing basic tasks. Of course the G16 has a bigger battery so it’s technically using a tiny bit more wattage, but I was shocked to say the least. And other users I know have pushed it to 11-12 hours on the G16.

[@TheCozmoDeveloper]

@JoshCravesTech That's interesting. I never thought I would put efficient and Intel together, but I guess they're getting desperate, especially with these new CPUs that are releasing

[@GaeThanos60]

Great video, by the way I think they dropped a new version of the g16 called the GA605 which has the Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370 , the oled screen and copilot. I wanted to find some information about this model but there is none out there, I think this is just a refresh with the amd cpu but for the same price I think. Would that be the best because it is bigger and performs better than the g14 while of course being more expensive but having more stuff?

[@crimsontechyt]

Yes, it's just a new gen AMD refresh, but it performs A LOT better (especially better than the Intel G16 models), because it produces a lot less heat (and is also just faster).

[@GaeThanos60]

@@crimsontechyt Ok, thanks man. I’ve been looking at these laptops for some time and I’m probably going to buy ether a g14 or 16 in a few months because I need it for university. Hoping to either find a good deal during September/ October.

Sensel haptic touchpad ftw. The one on the Microsoft surface laptop 11 is what they should have used especially for a premium laptop, and they are thinner

wow after a while the video quality went up (stil waiting on that rog flow 13 giveaway) ahem

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

[@GuilhermeAntonioBorges]

It feels that the new Intel Ultra architecture needs to improve its firmware to solve the inconsistency problems and improve power management. If it happens, the results should be better than those of Ryzern. An extra benefit of the G16 model is the support of an extra SDD slot.

[@babu_moshai]

great video which sum up most of my question

[@gsdbp7893]

im in school and i need a desktop replacement. id like the g16 bc i use my laptop and then i have a monitor, but i want to be able to carry it everyday with no issues around campus.

[@HH-dv5gr]

Great video! Yeah screen wobble and sensitive rattling trackpad makes the laptop less premium for me. This is why I haven't bought the 2024 model because of this. If the laptop was $500 sure. Not acceptable for $2500+

[@Alex2k371]

Ooo the video I waiting for!!

[@Local-lo3vo]

Do you notice grains in the screen when it’s in low brightness?

[@johnscotlinksl]

Good Video, buts the Specs you showed on screen are very wrong. Unless I'm mistaken, the G16 with 4070 is not offered with 32GB ram, you have to step up to a 4080 to get 32GB, and only comes in the Core Ultra 9, Core Ultra 7 isn't even an option. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@crimsontechyt]

A couple of people pointed this out, but Asus has many different configurations per region :) For example, the mid-range 4070 model here in the Netherlands has 32GB, an Ultra 7, and an IPS display, while the US model has 16GB and an OLED. We even have a 4060 model with 32GB, which is nice for people who want to spend less money, but still want to provide future proof themself with 32GB

[@johnscotlinksl]

[@aras_aras_aras_aras]

I was planning to buy G16 but because of the touchpad and more screen wobble I am thinking of buying Lenovo Yoga Pro 9. It has worse speakers but has a higher-resolution MiniLED screen and a full numpad. It's much more expensive than G16, though.

[@sofiacastanolopez]

I've beeeen waiting for this vid all this week, wish you would have compare it to the G16 4080 with the ultra 9 chip, cause that's why i don't know which laptop to purchase I've seen from different people the performance issues with this Intel Ultra chips, and I would have loved seeing the comparison of the performance with the G14. The vid was 🔥!

[@steffdia7080]

The 4080 is amazing. - For Emulation with high graphics 8x - Gaming - Da Vinci - Affinity Universe (photoshop, designs) - 4k HDR The 4070 you would get hit and miss, between there and there. If you don't want that, then go for 4080. But if you are only for browser, listening to music, watching KZbin, reading digital books, then go for 4060 or 4070.

[@sofiacastanolopez]

@@steffdia7080 well I'm an architect so i use a lot of rendering, 3d, and creative softwares and I just simply can not make up my mind on going for a G14 with the 4070 or G16 4080 cause right now i use a 11.5" laptop and going form that to a 16" seems like a lot but i also want to make the best purchase cause this laptop I'm going to end up using it for the next couple of years

[@warrenmcclure7819]

The performance per watt on the Intel CPU isnt as good as AMDs also I tend to get better battery from AMD processors rather than Intels. I think Intels CPU is better for editing video due to more instruction sets it can use but Im not sure

[@emgiedafurry4214]

Btw, i did buy the msi katana 15 and do use it with my 1440p 240hz monitor, it is awesome, u should maybe do a vin on it ^^

Never seen such a good comparison. Well done.

[@crimsontechyt]

[@jonomatictv]

I thought in the display specs comparison the G16 was 1600p but gaming was done at 1800p?

[@crimsontechyt]

Mistake on my end, all tests were done on 1600p :)

[@johnpikas765]

We need to see the G16 2024 with the AMD proccessor how it fairs.

I wonder if this intel vs AMD CPU difference is gone when comparing 8945HS G14 with HX370 G16

[@dizzydarny7142]

here it is

[@Reaper31292]

On the G16 using G-helper, can you make a profile where the fans never spin up at all? Some computers will let you set the fan to off, but then still use the fan anyway.

[@crimsontechyt]

No, you cant **completely** turn the fans off, as it would be kinda dangerous 🥲 You CAN make a custom profile where the fans only start spinning up at like 60 degrees, which means the fans badically never spin until you start doing something intensive (which works really well)

[@Reaper31292]

@@crimsontechyt Alright, cool that's probably good enough. I tend to limit CPU wattage to about 15w and disable turbo when I want quiet anyway, so that should keep it close to under 60C.

[@crimsontechyt]

Absolutely :) I dont cap wattage on my silent profile, and it basically never goes above 25w during normal usage, and it stays silent. So you should be absolutely fine

[@songphengcheng6336]

thank you

[@EldenPing]

I think the 4070 on the g16 is 105W max with boost.

[@TCM573]

+ it can hit 115W on manual mode.

[@esjaimecota]

where did you get it with 32 gigs of ram? its only 16, at least here in the usa. (4070 model)

[@crimsontechyt]

Apparently Europe has a lot more weird models, including this 32GB IPS model. Most of the world only has the 4070 with 16GB and an OLED :o

[@BroUwU-77]

Would the Ultra 9 G16 have preformed better?

Review the rtx 4080 vapour chambour model

[@Azure_KilluX]

Any tips to repaste Because really hate liquid metal Which have potential to ruin this laptop After the seal broken in future

[@crimsontechyt]

I wouldnt replace the liquid metal with regular thermal paste. The laptops entire cooling system is designed around it, and having a worse cooling solution wouldnt go well i think. Liquid metal goes wrong maybe 0.5% of the time, and thats only when there's a defect, or when it hasnt been applied correctly (which is VERY rare). I wouldnt worry too much about it :)

[@Azure_KilluX]

@@crimsontechyt but one day you need to repaste And you sure is it safe? Or will the liquid metal can last forever even if it dried out?

[@crimsontechyt]

Liquid metal doesnt dry out, as it just stays liquid above a certain temperature :)

[@dunedune6516]

Just asking the Temp Target locked at 87C , is there any tool to flash the BIOS with modded unlocked settings ? These RTX 4000 series are able to reach 95C but have no idea why stupid companies keeps locking it in average Temp .

[@crimsontechyt]

Yes, there are custom vBIOS' that can push the GPU further. I tried it with my Flow X13 and it gained quite a bit of performance :) But I'd be VERY careful with doing that, because it has some serious risks tied to it. I also dont know if it voids your warranty D:

[@mobeen369]

the g16 im looking at has ultra 9 and oled screen so wonder which do you think is nicer? they both virtually same price for me

[@crimsontechyt]

I would absolutely get the AMD OLED version. It has less heating issues, and obv a better screen xd

[@mobeen369]

alrighty thanks

[@mobeen369]

how is gaming comparison on screen size, is it way more comfortable to game on the 16 compared to 14 or is it minor difference?

[@crimsontechyt]

@@mobeen369 Yes, especially in games where you need to look far (like big maps in Battlefield or long corners in CS). But i prefer the portability of the G14 over having those things because i move around a lot :) If you're going to be sitting on a table while gaming, I'd get the G16.

[@mobeen369]

Oh right, I would be at a desk mainly, but I have external monitors, 2 nice ones. It’s just when I am out, I wouldn’t want the screen to be too small, only thing I am scared of.

[@michaozga7825]

I can’t mentally handle the oled. I play games with static interface. Might get the IPS but not too happy about it. I wish it had miniled. Probably won’t have it next year either. As they already jumped to the „top tier” display. They wouldn’t downgrade. I can’t have burn in. Just no. 😂 also the backlight bleed of IPs won’t make me happy

[@Dragbor]

you should get your hands on the lenovo legion slim 5 gen 8 14 inches

ALL 2024 G16’s and G14’s have OLED, the 2023 Models of the G16 and G14 have IPS. If you look in the G16’s Armory Crate it has OLED care settings… I’ve had a chance to use both side by side and they look the same, the G14 just has a slightly higher resolution at 3k 120hz wile the G16 has 2.5k 240hz. If you look on any listing it shows the G16 has an OLED. It hurts watching this 😭😭. We all make mistakes sometimes, so it’s all good. Just please add somewhere so someone doesn’t buy the G16 because it doesn’t have OLED. The only difference between the lower end G16’s and the higher end G16’s is cooling and ram. The 4070 model has 3 fans, and the 4080, and 4090 models have 2 fans and a vapor chamber.

[@crimsontechyt]

You're wrong, some regions (like the Netherlands) have IPS displays for the lower spec models. The RTX 4060 and 4060 models here have IPS or OLED displays, and the IPS ones are cheaper. Trust me, I've done plenty research xd
