True bro, very true. It's becuz Matthew cares for us the avg consumer unlike other useless fancy shows

[@user-dd9pv9pv9p]

I mean like, why would you choose the lowest/medium spec device if you really want to test the device's limits. Testing/reviewing the highest spec model allows the reviewer to push the device to its limits while testing, to see if it or it doesn't hold up (for example: if an i9, RTX 4090 machine can easily handle thermals, the same can be said for it's lower spec counterparts since lower end GPUs and CPUs have lower power limits). It's really just the nest thing to do. 🤓

[@beingcreative9503]

@@user-dd9pv9pv9p do you drive at 300mph? Your tyres have been tested for that but people whose cars are gonna use those tyres wouldn't do that limit. A testing at the limit is necessary to ensure safety but a tyre that performs well at 300 may not perform well at 30. Most people are gonna find the 30 metric useful rather than the 300 and a reviewer's primary focus should be narrating their experience to the people at 30 not 300 because the 300 is the more of a job of the manufacturer to ensure safety and highest standards. Yes someone will do 300 but its not everyone and I'm not saying a reviewer shouldn't test 300, they should for the minority but its the 30 that really matters.

Thanks for the review! After a month of forcing myself to use the ROG M16 2023, I've returned it back to the store due to the left USB Type-C port not working at all. It all started after BIOS & Windows updates. I've tried to re-flash BIOS, and uninstalled/re-installed drivers for the Root USB hub, but no luck. Hope that it will be fixed in the later update, but I'm back to using my trustworthy Macbook Pro 16.

Had to sub. So hard to find reviews for some of the models I’m looking at buying, and you cover everything I care about. Thank you.

An AMD model that is slightly slower but could hit 10h battery would be a great addition to the lineup.

Excellent review as always, you always quickly cover the things that actually matter. A shame that you didn't experience the Mini-LED screen though. I recently got the Scar 16 and the screen looks absolutely beautiful (although I do notice some black crushing in HDR).

[@MatthewMoniz]

I've experienced enough mini-led displays = ) But I feel like this specific model is in line with a majority of more people due to budget

[@a4andrei]

I want to see manufacturers switch to 16GB as base RAM capacity, and start offering 32GB options on most mid to high end laptops. If you get a high end CPU like an i7 or i9, you should be enabled to use it to its potential, and RAM capacity can be a serious bottleneck.

[@melodyofheaven3353]

I’ve spent the past couple of days looking at a ton of gaming laptops and everything I’ve seen so far basically screams this one is for me. There’s not too much going on but it’s not so lacking it’s bad, it’s running about the same price as other laptops with 4060s and 4050s I’ve seen with similar displays, and I’m pretty happy with this decision. Going to be picking mine up tomorrow hopefully 🤞

Might have missed it but how long is the battery life?

[@ShawnShaman]

Thanks for the review Matt! Always a trust worthy source when it comes to this stuff. This is the exact laptop I own and use has my daily driver. With NVidia Optimus turned on, I notice a massive performance boost when compared to ASUS Armoury Crate. CODMW2, with minimal game tweaking, I get around 110-120FPS. Same with Halo. Great laptop, I owned the 3070ti variation and agree, it's not a MASSIVE leap.

[@ekwilliam2974]

I have it too! Every AAA game I have runs smooth like butter at ultra or near ultra except I can't seem to tweak cyberpunk or Witcher 3 in such a way where it looks better than my PS5 or Xbox series X. Any suggestions?

[@ekwilliam2974]

I've opened Armory crate maybe once but to my recollection I never actually modify anything. However when I click on a game I'll get a notification at the bottom right that says it's been switched to Optimist. I think you said that one was the better of the two, right?

Hello friends Thank you for your detailed and concise review I am in doubt between this laptop and Lenovo Legion Slim 7i 2023 which one to buy, what do you suggest?

[@SensuAudica]

I returned my RB16 because it was insanely buggy and got this with the 4080 and its awesome! Very happy with it! Reinstalled it and is only using Ghelper now. Have about 9 hours battery life, (8-12w discharge) which is insane for this kind of power. I drive dual ultrawide at 3440x1440 with and it works great. The mLED screen is kind of hit and miss though. Prefer 1 zone backlight in most cases. One weird thing that happened was, after I replaced the SSD the computer refused to start until I put it on AC power. Strange.

How come you getting 9 hours of battery life. Which settings do you enable from the Asus Armory Crate and Windows? Thanks

@@mariozamora9684 I dont use armoury crate, only G helper. If you go Eco mode, silent, 60hz, battery saver and multizone it is possible to get that. Right now I am on 87% and Windows report 8h 4m.

[@gliffordbacch4621]

Not sure if single vs dual channel makes as big a difference for 13th gen vs previous, but the single stick of ram could partly explain the less-than-expected performance jump as well as the quieter fans.

[@jettsioson2799]

a single stick of DDR5 ram is doesn’t suffer as much of a performance drop compared to DDR4

[@toteorison594]

A single stick ddr5 gives an equivalent performance compared to a dual channel ddr4, as a single stick ddr5 Ram has a dual channel layout that supports two channels per DIMM slot. That is a single ddr5 slot contains 2 channels , or you can say that there are 2 channels per stick. So 2 ddr5 sticks doesn't make any difference and is the same as 4 ddr4 rams.

[@frankspace34]

The right thinking @gliffordbacch4621. I added another stick to my 2023 M16 and saw a near 3000 point increase just on the Timespy CPU score. It allows the 13900H to really stretch its legs. Effectively running in “Quad-Channel”. It’s amazing!

[@TheMstwntdLMSV123]

I just upgraded today. It was $450 off at Best Buy so it was kind of a no-brainer for me. I've been using a 2020 G14 since it launched and I really needed more screen real estate as I'm starting to work on bigger projects in my engineering classes, plus the extra performance will be a big time save. So far I really like it! The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the system responsiveness on battery. It feels great when plugged in but it really slows down once it's unplugged.

[@theawesomeking5513]

How bad is the performance on battery, im planning to get this soon

[@TheMstwntdLMSV123]

@@theawesomeking5513 I've only had a couple days with it so I still don't have a final answer, but overall it's very good. I think I was expecting something that's just not possible on a Windows laptop in terms of responsiveness on battery. Also, I think there were a lot of background processes going on the first day or two as things were updating and syncing. Windows update had over 60 updates, not including everything from Microsoft Store, MyASUS, and Armoury Crate. If you switch to Performance mode, you get all of that performance back at the expense of fan noise and battery life. It's not an issue exclusive to this laptop, it's just the way things are if you want a high-performance Windows machine. I haven't run into an instance where I need more raw processing power, rather the responsiveness of clicking around isn't quite as snappy as it is plugged in. I think most of what I was feeling was the drop from 240Hz to 60Hz as a power saving measure. Even with that, it's still faster than my G14 even while in Silent mode. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend if you can get it on sale. I don't think you can find a more complete package in any other laptop.

@@Rimuruwu I ended up going for the g14 for 1099 today. Viewed different reviews and went to see them in person. The price difference for the m16 4070 currently at $1500 didn’t catch my attention much considering they both have 8gb of VRAM and within videos I really didn’t see a big difference in fps. I also read that g14 is way better in power efficiency when not gaming. Also it is very light and compact Compared to the m16. fans are way louder on the m16. Idk if anyone else has any input for either laptop but 1099 I think this is a very good deal. So far I ran read dead 2 on ultra in native 2k without dlss and I get avg of 55fps with dlss on balanced 80ish. Ready or not on ultra with dlss 100fps avg. And the outlast trails around 100fps max. On 1080 it went up to almost the displays max at 160fps avg. Other then that the display is pretty nice compared to other laptops with 4060’s at this price point. The sound is also great if you change the Dolby settings to auto vs the standard mode it comes in. Also the laptop has been very fast and snappy and Ummmm lastly I upgraded it easily to a 2tb ssd (gonna have to reinstall drivers and windows or clone it to the new drive) and added an extra Corsair’s 16gb of ram to bring it up to 32gb. 2tb WD SN850x for $130. And the ram was a 16gb laptop vengeance 4800MHz stick for $45

Does the 4070 Model come with the AniMe Matrix lighting on the front?

[@frankspace34]

[@weotech2859]

I wanted to get an M16 with an anime matrix but I domt know If the model they are selling for me has it,or do all M16 have an anime matrix

This or the new MSI Studio 16 13th Gen i7, 32GB, and 4070 GPU?

[@adamcooper2242]

Can someone please clear up the max speed the RAM can run at? On Best Buy’s website, the QA section shows both 4800. MHz max and 5600 MHz max. I would assume since it’s an i9 it could support 5600, but I can’t get a definitive answer. Please help so I can order the ram upgrade soon.

How would this laptop be for a college student? I wanna take this with me to class and have sufficient battery.

[@frankspace34]

It will work well. But for better portability and battery life, go with the new G14. The 4060 version goes on sale for under 1300 frequently and the 4070 version is 1600 right now 👍🏼

[@MightyWalrus155]

I have a 2022 g14 i like it but the small size causes loud fan noises and i would like a bigger screen so i might pick this up with a good sale

[@Lenron-B06]

I have a G1 14 2021 and I really hope the 2022 model was so much better because the 2021 uses a proprietary charger and it also gets very very hot! I think mine has finally died but I’m not sure because I don’t have a charger to test it

[@zhipengren]

anybody know if the laptop 4060 variant is as bad as the desktop counter part? thanks.

[@Overclocker93]

Great Video. What about laptop, hope next year they will have Mini LED screens for 4060 versions, in 2023 every manufacturer discriminates budget customers

[@devaughnthomas9682]
