Kinda wish AMD would get a laptop package together that packs like a RX 7700 and a 8-16 core Ryzen CPU on the same package. It could be interesting and probably efficient.

[@Xplaced]

I come from a time where gaming laptop batteries were basically a UPS. So, for them to have even 4 hours is pretty good to me. That being said, I realize now things are different. With things like a G14 getting 11 or 12 hours, it's an area to improve in. But for something that is "the most powerful AMD laptop", I'm not getting it for battery life. I'm getting it for that power! The power supply can just always come along for the ride.

May be supply chain issue caused Asus to not do it. Some time Intel and OEMs do co enggineering for the most premium laptop . And give the chasis to AMD also, since they counts very low.

The backlight bleeding on ASUS laptops has been a plague for a long time. I owned Scar 15 and G17 from 2022, both had awful bleeding visible even in the browser in a bright room and very annoying while watching movies. This SHOULD NOT exist on a premium lineup of laptops. The 1440p 16:9 panel ASUS uses is either garbage or something is wrong with the installation of that screen. Zephyrus S17 I also owned for some time had absolutely zero backlight bleeding and looked gorgeous but that was a 4K 120Hz panel. Also the whole plastic body on such an expensive device is a huge NO from me. The fact they are only using Ryzen in this outdated chassis with the subpar screen is just offensive tbh. That light bar on the bottom also looks awful and you can exactly see the plastic connections inside and the LEDs which has no place in Legion 7 or Alienware. Very overpriced device for it's build quality, QC, chassis, outdated design etc. Also bring back the mechanical keyboard from 2021 SCARs....

@@RyneLanders For me it doesn't matter if its plastic but it should be build to last and weigh less , feel better and should be thin. Mac devices are great but the pricing is worst when it come to a higher ssd and ram versions. Normally a 70 class laptop gpu was a right choice to get a good performance to be contained in a 15 inch chassis .But this gen nvidia changed the name last minute when they released 4070 which was meant to be a 4060 before , since amd is low on laptop gpu supply from tsmc .4070 is DOA with low bandwidth and 8gb vram. Apples low single core clock, lack of native software support that i use, absurd pricing of storage are what turning me away.

This is different from previous laptop APUs: chiplet APUs have considerably higher idle power consumption as the IO die remains on even when nothing is happening.

I have a similar Strix Scar and let me tell you one thing about the thermals, those 90° on load is on manual mode on their software Armoury Crate, and it´s a fixed speed, the turbo option (the automatic/dynamic one) doesn´t reach the 100% of ventilation, so you need to remember to manually change the mode in order to not reach 100° (in my case) and have a reboot of the system because you have reached the temp. limit. The other thing is all the benchs are made on new products but the ventilation system is going to decay and have difficulties to make proficient cooling, because the coolers taking dust, even if you are super clean, the smallest particles will make their way to the center of the coolers and those are custom and really difficult to find stock after 1 year. I´m going to go back to desktop PC for my main PC, I have more options to control the thermals and leave the Strix for backup/mobile option.

I hate that design. It feels cheap AF, plastic makes cracking sounds, flexes a lot, catches fingerprints very easily, overall feels weak. The chassis alone for me is enough to avoid this laptop (I had both Scar 15 and G17 from 2022 with that chassis). The screen has huge bleeding issues too.

Chiplets = inherently high idle power draw. It takes energy to move data from chip to chip. Nothing AMD can do about the inherent laws of physics.

The Intel version was obnoxious and single-handedly made me want to return it. - The I/O is "recycled" from the previous year, but this is a much better layout for me as the USB A's on the right side are useless on the new 18" chassis. - Both laptops have poor battery life, but the AMD version is actually around 10-15% better or so, while also being able to game on the iGPU when on battery really well (~1440p @60fps Elden Ring). - The gaming performance was slightly behind Intel at maybe ~5-10%, but the productivity is significantly better in just about every other workload. The multi-core performance is incredible. - Thermals and decibel levels were also better on the 17 by a small margin, even with the smaller and older chassis, and 1 less fan. The speakers on the 18 were better with the new chassis, and the 16:10 AR is cool but makes fitting the laptop into most travel bags impossible.

ur opinion on whether 4k is required at this screen size or 1440p is good enough?

[@crestofhonor2349]

4k isn’t really required but 1440p is ideal minimum

[@KevPez-IS]

I’m torn between this or a high end MacBook Pro 16. Windows or Mac is fine. I feel like the Max would run fast enough, with battery battery, better screen, and probably not as loud.

Damn it. I can live with short battery life, but no USB4? Not even 1? Come on...........................

I want to buy a new high end laptop. When your video began I was interested, however when you revealed the price of 3400 dollars followed by the lack of io I moved on to another video. I have a minisforum mini PC that is no where as powerful as this laptop, it has a Rysen 6900HX apu with Radeon 680m GPU. This little PC has two usb c ports, one is a USB4 at 40GBs/sec and the other is USB3.2 gen 2 at 10GB's/sec on the other side it has 2 HDMI ports and 4 USB A 3.2 gen2 ports also at 10GB's/sec. It has 32GBs of ddr5 ram, an nvme gen4 512 GB ssd that I upgraded to WD 4tb nvme gen4 ssd. I also can upgrade it to 64GBs of ram. All of this is packed into a case that is only 4" square and about 1 3/8" thick. It was only a little over 700 dollars. I removed the ssd that had Windows 11 installed, after installing the 4tb ssd I installed HOLOISO which is a modified Steam OS 3 that is on the Steam Deck, they made changes that allows it to be installed on hardware that is not the Steam Deck. It is faster than the Deck mainly because it runs at around 65watts, I also was able to over clock the 4800 ddr 5 ram to 6000. It is too bad that Asus cheaped out on the USB ports.

In India where the temps are around 40 degree Celsius this laptops are too hard to handle 😢

[@RohitRaj-ot7bo]

I have 2060 r7 4800 from 2 years(since COVID days) should I upgrade it this year or the wait for next year?

[@SpinStar1956]

I disagree with your 'right-side-I/O comment'! I really hate it when reviewers give a positive comment about a product 'not' having something because ii is a bad influence on the manufacture. So, here's the deal: What person uses this laptop in a serious mode without an external mouse for more than 7-microseconds? You always need a USB port for the mouse dongle (unless you have big-bucks for wireless). So, why not have just one USB on the right, for the mouse which is totally unobtrusive? I have this laptop and I'm running out of USB and have to use a darn hub--that I have to lug around!

You guys were the last ones I expected to shill out for sponsors, and in the middle of a video? 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ bye bye 👋 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@bokiko]

thank you for this review , you just made me buy new laptop 🥳🥳

[@vladmihai306]

the battery life is the reason i won't touch any hx laptop from amd this generation, unless they fix it

[@Z020852]

What the heck happened to getting a top-tier chassis with an i7 or Ryzen 7. Not everyone is gonna edit videos professionally or something and battery life on the go as well as thermals+noise if not also clock speeds when the GPU is sucking up 125w++ matters more to most buyers.

[@admz5513]

asus rog strix g512li core i7 10750h vs lenovo legion 5i 10750h which is better for gaming please help me choose

[@dr.piyushgupta6384]

Buying a 3lakh rupees laptop only to see it becoming obsolete in next 2-3 years is ridiculous....better to go with a laptop that can run almost all your games on low/mid settings with a slightly lower 1080p resolution costly only 1/3 or maybe 1/4 of the price, so that once it becomes useless, just buy another one with new uptodate hardware.

[@aknzortuk4027]

Why titan is at balanced mode?

[@BRN2BNDAIR]

Im deciding between the G16 and the g17, also the m16 zepher.

[@村のアホ]

[@dd22koopaesverde58]

[@ChinchillaBONK]

Imagine lugging this gaming laptop around. I can just do my squats at work without going to the gym!

[@vmafarah9473]

Eiber, what's the battery life when you put ecomode for dedicated GPU in Asus armorycrate .
