Zephyrus G15 2021 Review! 5900HS 3070

[@BobOfAllTrades]

I really liked this Zephyrus for the laptop life but gaming is hotter than I was expecting along with 50°C skin temps. Price on this is moving up too as supply gets tighter with the current demand. Fingers crossed 🤞 things get better, fast!

[@Hijynx87]

I was so excited to get my Zephyrus g14 rtx 2060......yeah that thing throttles like crazy. Why should we even be forced to disable boost mode? Now I'm going to have to sell it, as I got it second hand off Ebay like 20some days ago. Much happier with my Aorus 15gxc, that thing rocks. Zephy is so sexy though, and that battery life CAN be amazing if you avoid chrome.

[@BobOfAllTrades]

@@Hijynx87 I was lit up for telling it like it was for me on that G14. But I get comments like yours daily too. I guess most comments come from people who don’t have the laptop.

[@roboticvenom1935]

@@BobOfAllTrades The G14 is a complete scam, has some of the worst QC issues from recent gaming laptops and the stock screen has response times so poor it isn't a true 120/144hz display. Buyer beware

[@dreamcat4]

this laptop has something like a million heat pipes in it. therefore its hard to believe that is its problem. so what i would suggest to you Bob is really to measure and scrutinize the total effective area of the heatsinks. and compare the numbers you measure between this G15 and the Mech G3. not only measure the external dimensions of each heatsink. but also get a torch in there and count the number of fins. Then add everything up and you should get your estimated total area. For all the heatsinks combined. This should then help to reveal how much of a factor is at play. Since both of those products have a good heatpipes arrangement. Perhaps another simple test is for air flow rate. Get a very large plastic bag. and then tape it onto all of the fan outlet ports. If the seal is good enough... then you can use a stopwatch to crudely time how long it takes for the bag to fill up to a certain volume of air. This also requires measuring the bag volume before it has become 'full'. Since at the end the air pressure inside the bag starts to resist and exert back a resistance in a non linear way. But catching air flow number in addition to the heatsink area is a crucial missing information. In order to understand which parts of the cooling system are actually doing the work. Since a large heatsink with a lower airflow going over it will offer the same effective cooling as a smaller heatsink with a stronger fan and more airflow. A larger heatsink causes the laptop to weigh heavier. But a faster fan causes the noise to become more of an issue. But ideally what we want to see more of is the set of trade offs made by Tongfang in the Mech G3. Just without that cursed mechanical keyboard which has nothing to do with cooling and lets it down as a whole, when considering the whole product. As someone who doesnt use a laptop for gaming but productivity the G15 would be my choice here. However i really dont like paying thru the nose a premium for something that has inferior performance since the 32gb sku is over 2k. Which above a certain price point never feels like we arent just flushing all that money down the toilet. Its easier to just say well... Tongfang guys well done and really great work to get to this point. But next year you should try much harder to improve the keyboard and trackpad. They are still not there yet compared to those big brand names (not just asus, also dell and lenovo, gigabyte etc).

My thoughts on this is- This is the best laptop that can game, but not the best gaming laptop, if that makes sense. One little bit I like about the laptop is it’s charger, which is very light.

Hi again Bob, since we both have the G15 and Aorus G15/Aero 15 to compare to.. I agree with your thoughts.. I think the G15 runs a bit toasty if you're a hardcore gamer... I think the Aorus/Aero is the better choice for the money as it runs much cooler overall.. But if you want a highly versatile machine, the G15 is the better choice being lighter, type-c charging, probably better battery life, centered TKL keyboard, etc.. If my gaming laptop was to be used primary for gaming, i'd be looking elsewhere than the G15.. Asus seems to be marketing it as a good all-rounder and i'd agree with that.

My CPU caps at 87C, with Cyberpunk cranked as high as I can at 1440p, while maintaining ~45FPS. This took some settings tweaking. Couldn't get it over 87C with anything I threw at it tbh. Ambient temps may come into play here though.

[@cripticdestiny]

You see those fans? Asus uses those same fans on all of their gaming units. You can't disassemble those fan shrouds. But on msi GE/GP series, hp omen 17, you can clean out the fans thoroughly on the above mentioned models. So, from a long term maintenance perspective (around one month or more) I'd say msi/hp gaming laptops are better value than asus. Asus products usually start to fail right after their warranty period ends so watchout!

I think you can get the best GPU performance if you don’t slide the sliders all the way over because of dynamic boost.

Isn't a problem if you're willing to compromise a bit. The performance mode has much better temps. Limit the FPS and you'll have even better temps. I don't see much difference bw 80 and 60fps. Unless the laptop can push 130s without much effort, it's better to limit fps for that particular game to 60. Basically difference bw 60 and 80 is negligible.

I'm not sure why there's so many complaints about this laptop. It's absolutely amazing for me. I throw it in my backpack to bring to work where I can get all day battery life and charge via USB C if needed. Then bring it home and plug it into my 34" 1440 Ultrawide and play games with great performance. Is it equivalent to a 3080 beast of a desktop? Nope, but it's close enough and very impressive. The best thing about this laptop is that it does everything besides gaming so well. The trackpad is amazing and almost as good as MacBooks, the keyboard is solid. Build quality is solid, speakers are pretty good. Screen is excellent, battery life is excellent for a gaming laptop and the whole thing has a mostly adult design that doesn't look out of place at all in an office environment if you turn the keyboard backlighting to white. People were constantly recommending the Lenovo Legion, which is probably ever so slightly better for pure gaming. But it's remiscent of the old Alienware gaming laptops that were designed for Mountain Dew chugging teenagers and is mediocre at everything besides gaming lmao. This laptop is in a differnet class if you're looking for a one stop shop of both work and play. The only thing that would really beat it out in my mind would be to have something like a MacBook or XPS/Surface Laptop for work and then a beefy desktop PC at home with like a 3080. But you do lose the portability. It's nice having the option to bring this in a backpack on a vacation and play a game for an hour or two at night if you felt like it. It's overall a very impressive piece of tech and I have basically zero complaints with it over a year later. But the temps have crept up a bit so I'm gonna redo the liquid metal and thermal paste which should get it down to the low 90's when I'm really pushing it, which is fine for me. I also threw in a 2nd 1TB WD Black SSD so there's plenty of storage. Haven't felt the need to bump it up to 24GB of RAM but it's nice to have the option. For the $1,200 I paid for it. Absolute steal.

I’m also choosing between this 2, G14 seems better build quality/ more balanced power? Also not that gamery/flashy

[@gsouliaris]

Nice review Bob...i hope you make a review on Scar 17!!!

[@BobOfAllTrades]

Like I told you earlier man reserve judgment to see the review 👍 I originally wanted to get a hold of the scar and I still do but right now I’m gonna move over to the G14 since I’ve got it right in front of me 👌

@@BobOfAllTrades great video Bob. What's the performance uplift 3060 - > 3070 seems to be about 10-20% gain in FPS (with Intel chips) at 80W, though maybe the G14 caps GDP vs G15. Can get the G14 locally just about, the G15 is hard to find. Shame as I think I want the extra M.2 and screen size.

I just got this laptop for $1550 from my local Best Buy in northern VA. It’s a great price.

[@oneschannel3179]

Such a great review 👌👌

[@remixreviews9642]

Thank you for doing a video on this and the G14 2021. Heat while it runs hot, it's got crazy Hardware in a small footprint and is tweakable. I will be going to school soon along with occasional business trips away from my gaming PC. I think I've decided on this model and if I don't enjoy it, I will get a g14. I do enjoy how both the g14 and g15 are tweakable

[@henriquelhamas2579]

Can you make this one vs the mech g3/neo 15?

[@BobOfAllTrades]

I reviewed them both which one do you like better is the question 👍

[@Destractoid]

Just ordered on today. I am super excited :D

@Bob Of All Trades.... Is it possible to connect to external monitor and Logitech setup for sim racing.... Based on thermals.. And heat dissipation.... How long will it last... Approx.. Estimation 3-4yrs?.. based on the utility for normal work and racing..... Did the g14 had the similar cooling technology to compete with this one...

[@vasudevmenon2496]

Does ryzen clock tuner help in alleviating thermal issues?

I saw a video where they said it makes squeaky sounds and a lot of screen wobbling, is it true?

[@BobOfAllTrades]

Good question, maybe someone else can chime in. My review unit was in my hands for a short amount of time. Not enough to identify long term durability.

[@njramsfan30]

Hey Bob, if you change the battery profile on my asus to balance recommend mode, you can boost timespy score by 10k. Idk if it's placebo effect on my end. But I went from 9000 or so to 10100ish. Not bad. But idk if that's just a one off lol. And constantly hitting 9900+... On max fan settings, I'm getting gpu temp 70-75 plus, and 80ish on cpu.. alot cooler than last years zephyrus.

Your video is not showing up , algorithm is screwing you

[@BobOfAllTrades]

Not sure why it’s that way but it often is.

[@aldenone]

Hi, as a gaming laptop first, for the money, which laptop is is better for the coin? Thanks

[@colinwong3982]

Is the keyboard hot since the exhaust heat seems like flowing up to the screen? Will the screen be damaged because of this?

[@dryeyes-]

I've just got this laptop and have had some heating issues right out of the box with just updating windows and drivers. Did you get the same problem or its just my unit? Thank you

[@utubekullanicisi]

100% agree with you about the “half-soldered” RAM solution in this machine. Take that single RAM slot away, and give us either a better sooling system or, what would be my preference, a bigger battery.

[@ResearcherJournalist]

If you lowered the cpu watts to its lowest offered setting. How long is the battery life on normal usage with full brightness?
