Hardware Canucks - The Subtle Sabotage of AMD Gaming Laptops

ASUS shared the G16 Strix platform between Dragon Range Refresh 8940HX and Fire Range 9955HX, so the platform baseline needs to be low-cost to hit the Zen4 price points and that means corners cut on peripherals, cooling, and power delivery. People that think there's a conspiracy behind ASUS's decisi

I bought 5070ti g14 and I might regret

I have the G16 version and also had heat issues. I believe every single ROG model that rolls out has thermal issues. I have still not had a good Asus Liquid Metal application. If you open it up and change to PTM7950, most of the time you will have better thermals.. The real take away is the temperat

A gaming laptop but not a gaming laptop?

Reality is performance laptops specifically built for your needs are marketed like that if your dad doesn't know its your responsibility to teach him by showing the use case and talking to one of your teachers.

Which one should I prefer?

Between the two, the ASUS ROG Strix G16 is definitely the better choice overall. Here’s why: The i7-13650HX is a more powerful CPU than the i7-13620H — it’s part of Intel’s HX line, which is built for high-performance gaming and productivity, with higher core/thread counts and better sustained perfo

Need a discretely named / incognito sff gaming pc

If you were building yourself 2k would be doable, but I doubt you’ll find a nice prebuilt for <2k, especially one without a bunch of tacky RGB. Might as well just get a laptop. Asus ROG Zephyrus G16, Gigabyte G6X, etc. And do not listen to the people telling you to buy a computer, charge your compan

Asus, Lenovo, and Co.: Notebook manufacturers suspend deliveries to the USA

Literally why I grabbed an Asus Strix G16 2024 a couple of days ago to replace an older machine, figuring something this was coming. At a minimum I figured I could head off prices being jacked up on existing supply (or new models coming in the next few month). But I figure scarcity would be a factor

For the record for future viewers of this post: Many, many people have run into a shit load of trouble just “nuking” their windows install on their g14/g16, as you have put it.
