    Great Review watching this on my Helios 16 RTX 4080 I9-13900HX 32 GB RAM DDR5 5600 MTZ the mini LED keyboard is in my opinion the best in the business. Everything I throw at this laptop is second to none in high performance. Truly a portable powerhouse and for $2400 I paid for it wow what a deal for this much power and this many specs. For those who are wondering, yes the TPU is 175 watts on the Helios 16 as well. Measured screen brightness at 528 nits (non Mini LED version) The predator sense software is simplified and very easy to use. I believe I have made a very qualified purchase and you should too. Keep in mind the Helios 16 versions sell out quick at B&H too which is where I purchased my laptop from.

    A dedicated review but also partial and somewhat subjective. E.g., the description of the keyboard lets it sound as if typing was ok but my experience is: too wobbly for intensive, fast use. No reviewer anywhere gives me this description but my physical experience in stores is my only reliable source of information as to keyboard typing experience. Reviewers really need to take a more objective approach to describing keyboard typing experience, taking into account text and data workers' needs. Good desktop and notebook keyboards are like day and night these days. --robert jasiek

      Why care for battery? It'll never be the reason for a GAME Laptop. The battery is there for non-gaming tasks. For instance on the airport when working or anything alike. Look for how it works plugged in. That makes most sense

    • @druminik
      @druminik Рік тому +2

      Depends on the performance mode used - going higher increases the temperatures, fan noise, and, in result, the overall performance. Under heavy sustained load, the GPU stays under 81c and CPU oscillates between 85-95c, while system temp is around 72-75c.
      Modern gaming laptop cooling systems are designed to stay slightly underneath the thermal throttling point of that particular silicon(which is usually about 100-105c) in order to maximise the framerate gain using the thermal leeway available.

      @@druminik And actually controlling the load is a thing to mind. I really don't need an equivalent 3dmsrk score of 19000-20000 in every game. Perhaps staying around the 15k mark equivalent mode will let me stay at say, 75C instead. Thus a bit lower fan noise. That is how I predict the use of my Helios 18

    • @druminik

      @86Raxor On balanced mode I usually get about 75-85c CPU with surprisingly very quiet fans, on performance they get noticeably louder with roughly 15-20% performance increase at 80-90c CPU, and on turbo the fans go nuts, noise cancelling headphones required for another +/- 10% performance gain.
