Would you rather get a G15 or M16?
M16 due to aspect ratio and a camera !
G15
None just got a new laptop, hp pavilion 15 gaming with a i5 1650 and 1tb ssd and 32gb ram, pretty cool machine I recommend you review one, It’s quite easy to get your hands on through the hp website so, I recommend checking it out, nice video Dave!

ATTENTION TO ALL PEOPLE GOING TO BUY THE M16!
What most people aren't talking about is the issue of how this device and the best buy models are getting BRICKED after updates to its BIOS. I personally ordered one and returned it because playing Russian roulette with an expensive system is not a game I could afford. There is thread in reddit which you can find and there are reports of many people who have undergone a BIOS update and in the end were stuck in a boot loop and essentially bricked their devices. To make things worse even the replacement units are affected by this issue. Please don't trust the positive reviews of it. And if you are getting one make sure you are covered under warranty.
i updated the bios and the m16 is fine, no problems at all
@@voxproevents6405 same here no issues
@@WeyTheGreat same here just bought mine with no issues. Seems to be an old supply that Best Buy got from ASUS that had the BIOS problem
True fans know that this was re-uploaded

Sssup bro
I was half way through the video during the first upload and then he removed it
Normal ppl with normal busy life just watch(.)
Yeah
I bought the g15 couple of month ago. I had an awful beginning experience with asus world: serious bleeding due to bent panel, bios problems, scratched display due to metal framing of the keyboard hitting the screen while the laptop was closed.
A part from these and some other problems, that actually stressed me out seriously, and that i will have to repair contacting customer service, the unit is awsome.
I have the 5800H + 3060, so the cheapest among the ones mounting last generation CPU and GPU. I can ensure that FPS obtained on HZD and every other game in the list using the i9 3060 are perfectly comparable to the ones i obtain with my unit. Like litterally i get that FPS playing ULTRA.
G15 does not have the camera, so that is an issue: i bought an external webcam for 30 euros (~35 bucks) and i definitely opened my eyes over what actual video quality means. With that low price you can step up the game to a prover level. If you just want to video call and make it quick you can use MyAsus, that lets you use your phone camera as an external camera, linking via hotspot and bluetooth. M16 camera is the usual crappy laptop camera
The display is not the brightest, in that case i have to give it to the M16 that har live 450 nits. I never needed more brightness, but headroom is always good. What i don't like about M16 is the absence of the chin. Display aspect ratio becomes odd, you can cover up the lowest portion ov the screen with the laptop body, cause it's lower, and heat vents pump hot air directly on the screen. Plys your head is gonna be a little bit more cramped down, to reach that lower regions. Full screen is something that you can do on laptop that have the screen hinged at the same level of the keyboard, not on these units.
Thunderbolt 4 in mine is missing due to amd CPU. That i tought i would never need in my entire life. Now I'm thinking about coming back from study or work and being able to plug a single cable, to turn the unit in a desktop setup. Like external dual monitor with high refresh rate, mouse, keyboard, headphones, speakers, external fast HDD station. That is actually bothering me. A latop is not bound for life, but if you plan to keep this for 6-7 years you neet to thing about this.
Fan noise is something real. Like you go to the library and you can turn your G15 to silent mode. On the other had your M16 is not gonna run completely silent, and looking at the graphs, RPM is gonna bother you. Seriously.
M16 is not flat, is a little bit thinner on the front, and thicker near the hinges. This would personally bother me and. Also is considerably thicker that M16.
I personally would go again with the G15. Also I do some computational Physics at university and multicore performance is something you need to consider. Intel is gonna run hot in that scenario. Like 90 degrees hot. If you are into programmig, computing, symulations and compiling, you need to buy an AMD unit. If you are a professional who uses CAD or videoediting, maybe an intel unit is better suited.
I was also very unluky with my first asus encounter. I never had an asus unit. I knew this could happen, and it has beed quite exausting.
The battery situation is mental. I easily get 9 hours of screen on with windows mode in armoury and battery save mode in setting. Shut down backlit keyboard and you have all day pc. I would not trade that with and intel chip. Too bad power efficency.
I bought the G15 also carried by dave's review, because i really needed a new pwerful pc, that was well built and that i could play on, since i don't have a desktop build.
Hope i was informative. If anyone need answers just ask.
so isn't it worth to buy g14, did they service you atleast? the screen bleeding thingy
To be very honest Dave, I'm eagerly waiting for Asus to release G16. I think that you are too.
Does that come out tho?

I really like your Intro, smooth without any high sound at the beginning
Damn! Dave's getting old. He's going to be old guy with tech wisdom in few years. We can get his wisdom in a castle of his
We have a winner with this set up I like it! It’s like Dave is having a chat with me about the product!
From someone who owns the 2021 i7 3060 version, I can say this thing doesn't really get loud if you're just using it for productivity or studying...barely even makes any noise. It starts making noise only if processing a big download. Even while using somewhat demanding software such as Solidworks or other 3d software it is not that loud. The only time it actually get as loud as I have heard people say it is while gaming, which happens to all gaming laptops. Even though I only bought it cause I could not get the g15 anywhere, I definitely do not regret it.
I needed your comment. Thank you. I just got the i9 3070ti version tonight and thought I made a mistake.
@@jasweb147 how is it so far?
@@rendered33 sold it. 😂 🤣🤣
Thanks for the actual fan sounds!
Welcome addition to the review process. Well done sir.
Wish they could do an AMD with the screen, TB4 and PD, and a webcam. RIght now, AMD seems to be more efficient in terms of thermal and power demand resulting in longer battery life as well.
Someone on the Zephyrus G15 subreddit manage to buy an M16 display and install it in his G15. Still working on getting the webcam working though...
A great review video! You are calm, competent and there is really nothing annyoing. I come back to you when it's about reviews
I like the M16 more than the G15 because of the much wider range for heat spread, it is a real issue when computers dont have enough room , but I have to say both are really good machines
I am conflicted between this and m1 16" mac.
exactly how is the range of heat spread wider ?
Print screen is king, the only issue is that it doesn't work well with dual screens and that makes me sad
My laptop must have a supercharger instead of a turbo by the noise it makes.
Hey Dave, I like the format of you sitting and kind of...interviewing the product...looks fresh
The thing is that there's no availability any laptop, and if there is the prices are crazy...
Intro was so satisfying!!
Gotta love these new intros
Meh.. Boring

You're the Best Dave! Love the Ténegro at the outro as that's my fav too :)
That's right, Win Shift S is different from PrntScrn, in the way that allows you to capture only a part of the screen, making it superior.
Those wallpapers on Dave's laptops are pretty cool

Not gonna lie, I thought the laptop was levitating at the start 😅

Really appreciate the noise test with actual clips. These are laptops people use not a package of spec numbers. Surprised by how many reviewers out there who don't get it.
That voice sync is great now! 😂👍
Yeah got cut when he was saying about the battery..
that little rant about ctrl+shift+s is lowkey awesome
Im currentyl watching this on the Asus M16, and i can tell you, this laptop has been amazing. It kills all the games i play and the screen is the most beautifull panel. I love this laptop.
What's the spec you got?? How much battery life you're getting?
@@Mehpew curious as well
Thanks for a great video! Hope to see your review of asus s17 someday
Great to see Intel stepping upto AMD’s challenge and producing good chips for laptops! Competition is always good! whew! Thanks Dave for the short and succinct review 🙏🏾
Hopefully a larger MacBook is available soon.
Undervolting is the one main advantage Intel retains over AMD in the mobile space. It Forced me to get an 11800H. If Amd can eventually make Undervolting a thing, then it will be game on.
Please explain? I don't understand the advantage you're saying Intel has. I don't know very much about mobile processors 😅
@Dave2D, I have watched your video for asus scar 15 and have purchased Asus scar strix 15 ryzen 7 5800h with rtx 3080 having 300 hertz panel.
Thanks for the honest opinion on every products.
Love from India.😊
How much did it cost..?
I’m planning to buy the zephyrus g15 but confused if I should be waiting for the 2022 model..
I found your explanation of dBm and its logarithmic scale very fascinating! Great job as always 😊
Last time I was this early, Intel was best chip manufacturer
More competition is healthy. One company dominating the market will make them price their products at any number they want. AMD has been really going at it! Fully supporting them. But I still want Intel to swing back even if I don’t like them a lot lol.
@@dzeliongurung3218 we need more competitors
Intel still has the best laptop platform. You can't get PCIe 4.0 SSDs and Thunderbolt 4 support on AMD laptops, lol what a joke.

Hi Dave! You can use the program Snippaste to substitute for prtsc as you can customize which hotkeys to use, how much of the screen to capture depending on which hotkey combo, and also where to save the image (both in clipboard, and in a folder)
Thank you, I didn't know about the win shift s shortcut :) never needed it
In this episode, Dave justifies the computer that he bought
Yeah he just wants to feel better and not have the fear of missing out..
Are you for real?
I love your alternating intros
So for Blender use which should, I get? I don't game whatsoever. I just want to get it for modeling, animation, and rendering. What would the battery life be like? And better price range affordability-wise?
Get any of the Legion sereis of laptops all the gpus are running at the highest tgp. And the Legion lineup are pretty well priced.
@@Naspisous battery life?
This is the comparison I’ve been waiting for. Well done. Thank you.

that would have been perfect
@@justinooi6521 no, that's not good for gaming
Yes it is good for gaming wtf? Are you talking about
@@justinooi6521 Depending on what you're going to use it for, it could also be worth it to use the M16 chassis and have a higher wattage GPU instead of the 80W for better cooling. Also, the display itself on the M16 is better because it gets brighter than the G15.
Actually a really decent honest review with valid real-world examples of the differences between the two models. Excellent review!

"Responsivity" - Dave2D 2021
Hi Dave, the biggest problem with buying an Asus laptop in Canada is that they don't sell their laptops directly on their website and redirects to resellers who either link to a different model on their website and also jack up the prices! I think Dell does a better job with their website.Hope Asus starts to sell directly!
I was thinking about waiting for the M16, but now I’m thinking about just going with the 3070 g15.
I just got my g15 a couple of weeks ago its amazing , I highly recommend it

Dave is trying to carpet that Iwagumi style aquarium. I did that 2 years ago. Initially, it felt like it was taking ages. But it completely covered the aquarium in about 4 months or so.
Ahh Dave2D uploaded, the only youtuber i love to watch for laptop reviews
The thing with Dave2D's reviews is that he presents the more practical aspects (with accompanying technical details) of why we choose laptops or any other gear, and this is the kind of thing why his channel became very popular: he connects with both the nerds and the 'common' or less technical people. Unlike other laptop reviewers who explain performance and numbers in detail, Dave2D's approach is to engage his audience immediately on why the laptop is good or not. @ 1:01, he even did not try to explain the Cinebench or benchmarking numbers between Intel's new CPUs vs Ryzen's because, come on, you can just pause and see for yourself that it's virtually a tie.
I prefer Intel because of PCIe 4.0 SSD and Thunderbolt 4 support, and also better screen and better features, and even better gaming performance.
Already got my G15, I would've preferred it had an M16 screen and a webcam though 😶

From what I learnt, the G15 has a CPU TDP of 35W in performance mode, but in Turbo mode it will increase to 65W. The M16’s intel chip has a default TDP of 65W. I actually expected the Turbo mode AMD chip to beat Intel.
Well the i9 variant here has 45W TDP. But hardware canucks showed that manufacturers can push intel chips to their limits without any problems. In some cases ASUS even pushes it to 70W.
