@@shikikanaz4624 yeah i feel ya, I live in a medium apartment with my gf and she won't allow a pc desktop because we can't really afford to use up more space than we already have
Really love this review format! Although it would be great to see some non DLSS or DLSS Quality benchmarks on the CPU bottlenecked games to see what the GPU can achieve. Also would like to know if the laptop was in the performance or turbo mode? I think performance is 150w GPU and Turbo gives you the full 175W
What do you love about it? It is classic 100% noob review, full of pointless marketing bla bla with very little to none „real“ review information, waste of time and electricity if you ask me. Check out Jarrod‘s Tech to see what real review should look like.
@TeacherToolkitDemo You cry, while he is giving an actual opinion with actual points, while you "cry". I like both btw, get info from a few sides, if not more👍
How did you like the keyboard? Are the speakers good on this laptop? Lastly what did you think about the battery life? Thank you for taking the time to review this laptop.
@@Blue-Lady thank you for providing that information. I ended up ordering a Blade 16. Display is beautiful, speakers are really good, battery life not great. I'm still thinking I should have stuck withe Asus since Razer customer support is horrible.
GPU temps look great for such a beast with 4090m! My Strix SCAR 17 with laptop 3080ti sits at 80C all the time at high load while this barely goes over 70C. And all this while showing sick FPS
The 4000 series can blow anything off the charts when there is FG support. Then it doesn‘t even break a sweat and stays in low temp ranges. But since temp throttling almost always is an issue in laptops it normally runs hotter than a desktop gpu if it clocks high and draws its 175W. My 4090m stays about 20C cooler due to water cooling in a gaming laptop, so does the cpu (10-20C). But there is always a noticeable difference with or without DLSS 3 (FG). Maybe you need to open and clean it from dust from time to time.
I just watched SkyFall and couldn't help notice your striking resemblance to Q :). Also, that IPS glow would be an instant exchange or refund for me, it was super noticeable while you were playing Dead Space at these price points they have to do better quality control.
@@augustusmaximus891 it’s awesome! Silky smooth frames, I did a small undervolt on it, but otherwise not really anything. The fans aren’t as noisy as I was expecting and the performance is far greater than I expected! Screen wonderful! So yeah, very pleased with it!
@@corbett666 See it's been two weeks since this comment, how's the laptop? Is there coil whine, I heard there's a lot of fan coil whine, is this true? I've been eyeing this laptop, def one of the ones I want to get
@@kimmythegoat34 I couldn’t be happier with it. There is a tiny coil whine occasionally, but frankly you can only hear it if it’s super quiet and it’s just booting up and warming up. Performance os great and it’s really easy to move around compared to my old Alienware beast! Performance is mind boggling in such a tiny thing, and I’ve managed to overclock it quite a lot with no issues at all. Screen beautiful, and it’s been super reliable. So yes, if it’s on your list, get it.
Razer Blade 18 * Acer Predator Helios 18 * Asus Strix Scar 18 * Asus Strix G18 * Alienware M18 . Which laptop of these will be the most reliable ? which is the best ?
Would have liked to see some actual benchmarks. Especially that could be compared against I9-13900K/4090 and 4080 desktops. We know laptop CPU's/GPU's give up some performance it would be nice to see how much. I feel the 4K price is just to rob early adopters with more money than sense. I imagine it will be below 3k by Black Friday. Gigabytes Aorus laptop with an i7-13700 and 4080 for £2249 looks like a steal right now.
It's so people buy the 30 series because it meets their needs, and nvidia can clear their backlog that they didn't sell last year. Think they know after years of selling that it's not meant to make economical sense for everyone. There is a plan
This channel isn't an actual tech channel, he's an unboxer that reads off the marketing material, like MKHD. Go to gamers nexus, digital foundry, LTT (with a grain of salt), and hardware unboxed (also with a grain of salt).
Cool review. You should review the ROG Zephyrus Duo 16--the 4090 variant. I want you to compare both since it has an additional monitor and the same GPU.
Still sitting on old predator helios 300, seems to run new games and does it the work. Planning on buying new laptop, I'm very interested about temperatures and dust protection. As for old predators you need to repaste it every 2 years and usually I find tons of dust. This one seems to have gigantic vents, so cooling must be very good, but I'm imagine how much it can suck up dust. Saw advertising video on new predator models that it had some caps on vents that you can place.
I am buying this Laptop and few other things for streaming setup and the total price is bit over 6000€ i will sell my current laptop and desktop To lower The price, since i saw it once i checked all New laptops and came To decide that this is The one To go for. I need portability cuz my school, so this is The Best one for me, but The downside is that since its so New i gotta wait around 3-5 months To get. But i will wait for it, gotta get the Best!
My dream, I regret not being able to make this dream come true, day after day since the launch I don't get tired of watching the videos, simulating ultra configurations and always positively thinking about having a machine like this in my hands one day. I thank God for this, I always tell my children that one day Dad will be blessed to benefit from this resource. My dream continues.
For me laptop does work out well, especially considering modern day laptops are kinda beating the performance of previous gen desktops. Also it includes monitor and keyboard. For me it's not costing significantly more, if including screen and keyboard/mouse, it comes close to the same total. I also need the mobility of a laptop and even last gen laptop RTX 3060 and RTX 3070ti came within 10-15% of the perfomance as their desktop counter parts, used less eletricity or around about to do so as well. Even the Ryzen CPUs (3-7, not the 9s) were coming really close to their desktop performances s well. kinda works for me
Same here, I literally got rid of my full tower desktop for a laptop and it definitely works out for what I want and I still get really decent performance from my laptop as well as being able to take it with me and also have a smaller more tidier work space.
Sure, that's a very good point. For those who games only at home however (or simply use their PC at home), and only want to upgrade their GPU, desktops end up cheaper to upgrade later on since you only have to buy the GPU. For example in my country, new RTX 3060 GPU cost roughly USD365, while a good new RTX3060 laptop are around USD1300. Bottle neck due to old CPU? Just crank up the game quality. Unless bottle neck is really really bad, then you maybe need to update the whole system. Ofcourse, this comes back to each individuals need. Unless, external GPU to laptop becomes common, maybe you can deal with the expensive update of laptops. Just maybe....
@@moonlightbuterfly Yeah that's fair. For me it's not that needed and there are external GPU things i can buy if i need just GPU upgrade. FOr me i have been able to make a 1000 AUD laptop last around 8 years before i had to get a new one, then bought a 600 AUD one that lasted me 5 years. I dont really see myself needing to update a laptop until 7 years. i also need the portability and i do not have space for a desktop currently either. Desktop we did have lasted 7-8 years as well before it got so unusable and that was $2k AUD. If i had the space and didnt need to move around a bit with it, id have gotten a desktop. For me the cost becomes even. I guess 200-300 AUD cheaper with desktop given i can keep th ekeyboard and monitor
I'm lucky enough to have quite a bit of downtime at work where sadly I spend more time than at home. So a laptop of this caliber is exactly what I am looking for.
I have same laptop 32.0 GB ram edition. Tested ton of games, only had problems with Star Citizen which is poorly optimized, on max setting 4k resolution it could run only on 50+ fps... Rest games runs minimum on 120+ fps. I only have 2 problems, but I think it is most of from software. Sometimes it makes static noises on battery and GPU switching system is not really good. At the end it is superb laptop, the sound is awesome, it even have bases, screen is nice. Build quality is very nice. I think it is best option for people who travel a lot.
Thanks for the review...nice to see a laptop as well as desktops. Next time you do a laptop review, could you include battery performance? Be interested to see how long this would last playing a high end game with high/top end settings without the plug in!
There is no such thing as playing games with high end / top settings without plugging in.. guessing your new to laptops / desktop replacements.... batteries can't output the wattage to power the cpu/gpu
If your main concern for gaming laptops is battery life then you are in the wrong section. Gaming laptops especially those built for performance are not meant to be on battery. Most even throttle automatically when on battery. It's meant to be plugged in.
Рік тому+1
Cool and all but.. for that price you can build one heck of a setup, not just great PC.. the whole thing, only people that NEED a portable station will consider this.
After playing for more than 2hrs-3hrs at highest settings possible, u will start to notice that ur laptop can also be used as a room heater. So u don't have to pay any extra bill further :)
I got mine scar 17 3080Ti 16gb, 3TB SSD, 64 ram and for 4750$ and it’s glitching crazy… even warranty can’t help! Wasting money 💰 It was working for 6 months then it’s not turning on sometimes, if it’s finally turned on it’s stuck on opening any files, games, apps on computer… never buy loptop with the extra ram or memory! You can be out of your warranty. Crazy!
Literally the only time I can understand and justify the lack of Runescape 3 in benchmarks - running it on a laptop would set it aflame, 4090 or not. Still, counting days till you get a beefy enough PC to benchmark it on.
im interested in the 4050 with thr upgrades and dlss 3 + frame gen surely its alr better than last years 3060 which was alr enough for most ppl AAA games high settings at 60fps and competetive games running easily ofc all at hopefully a good value
Bruh 4070 is straight trash and not much of a difference when a 3080 can beat a 4070. If you want real performance get a 4090 or stick with a 3080 ti for the moment
First with the mislabelled 4080 that they had to de-launch and now with the 4090 laptop, Nvidia really needs to stop lying to their consumers. Performance however is incredible, 3080TI/3090TI Desktop performance in a laptop is now a reality!
I do like the improvements made, however with gaming laptops, high end to low end, I always find there is stutter involved where on desktop there is not as much.
@@Sanadtm I am not a reviewer, however I was a major enthusiast, I have tried virtually all the laptops from 30 series and varying wattages. Yes, there was stutter. Yes, you are right, less wattage and obtaining higher performance is great, however the laptops also rely heavily on the processing software like FSR or DLSS, but again are better optimized in order to squeeze out the most FPS per watt. You are right that it's impressive to see the ratios of performance and wattage, however you are incorrect as I have direct knowledge and use case scenerios on these laptops with stutter on a variety of games, SKU's, and performance. I also very much distrust laptop manufacturers now, my favorite was when ASUS claimed to be the most powerful, yet did not even have a MUX until recently in their SKU's. As well as when they were asinine with their GPU descriptions, and were deceptive because a manufacturer would claim a high powered 3080, yet it was limited at 95W and it would be no where on any page to see the wattages other than the technical data lol. That is why I went back to desktop.
I'm planning to run mine on my 8 30 inch 2560x1600 monitor setup at my home office, 6 30 inch 2560x1600 monitors in the office and with two Innoview 18 inch 2560x1600 500 nits portable monitors and a 14 inch ultrawide 3840x1100 Wisecoco portable monitor everywhere else that isn't space constrained. Including on my bespoke dual monitor couch gas arm mount. For planes, trains, busses and passenger seats I'm running it with the integrated monitor and the 14 inch Wisecoco using a custom bracket to mount it to the top edge.
Great review Bro...I love it.. please I wanna upgrade from my old Old alienware area 51 first gen to a new one but I want something less bulky...can you compare with razer 18 or alienware x18...thank you
I've seen the 4090 laptop GPU in a few laptops, compared against other high end GPUs and while some games are indeed seeing a decent increase to outstanding, but there's also quite a few that the increase is in the 20 to 30 percent, that's not worth the price unless you only play the games that see a massive uplift for the price it's in my opinion not worth it
Not sure what your specific usecase is mr.Wick, but I can assure you for those of us only using high end VR (VARJO AERO and XTAL3) it makes a huge difference.
@@TomiIslam33 I agree they should some how, but I'm aware this was a laptop card what I was saying was for the price your going to pay for this laptop it's just not worth it in my humble opinion, is all I got last year's best and quite excited with it
my old ASUS Rog Strix laptop is almost 3 years in use and it works like new, it have a liquid metal thermo paste, I didn't reaply thermo paste, temps are not rising, there's no throttle, only thing is, you need to clean fans from the dust 2 to 4 times in the year
I have the Strix 17se with the 3080Ti and 12950hx, for the 2k 240hz display I find it already sufficient to make everything run well ..these are excellent machines, nothing to do with msi and various barebones, I also prefer it to razer. The only thing is the ddr5 still stuck at 4800 even in 2023, among other things here you can't put the ddr 5 5600 because you can't put the xmp profile in the bios .. the only shortcoming of these monsters
I also have the 3080 version but these laptops are wayyy beyond the performance of our machines. I get like 80fps on Lost ark. Im sure this laptop would get me to like 170fps
So for you, who are interested I found one like this at the local shop for 4600 usd, I've decided to build a similar in perfomance PC desktop with the same spec monitor and just a good keyboard. I was able to save up some money on CPU, using new Ryzen and I've chosen a RTX 4080. So my desktop PC in almost the same configuration ended up at a price point of 4000 usd. Yes delta is whole 600 bucks, and yes you are getting stuck with same CPU and GPU, but to be honest, I don't think it will be a bottle neck for 3-4 years, cause my current spec is Ryzen 3600 and RTX 3060 and it handles games just fine and it's almost 2 years old by now. But there is a problem, I had to move recently and you know where is my desktop? Yes it stands back home, and I have to use a shitty laptop provided by my company for already three month. So for me, it is very important to have a beast like this. I can just close it, put in my back pack and have all the power I need at any place I have to travel next. Is it worth to pay extra 600 bucks for this? Definitely yes.
Hi, thanks for the review. Please tell if the coil whine occurs often in this laptop in office work and gaming, or only in games' menus? Unfortunately I am actually a bit allergic to coil whine. Ordered the laptop but didn't pay yet.
Its a lovely looking machine. Looks heavy though. I lug a Steam Deck and an ASUS OLED laptop around and they already weigh lots. This laptop would finish me off. The only way I can see such a laptop for me, would be as a desktop replacement. The RGB on the edge is cool, but the novelty would wear off quickly.
Waiting for 50XX, those will be equally insane prices however the upgrade will be worth it.... Currently rokin a 17" legion 3070 130w, it drives MW2 on a 3440x1440 high @ 75hz stable which for my shit eyes is perfectly ok 😅
For only 3500-4k? For around 4 thousand dollars I can have one too?!?!?!?!?!?! God dang what a good god damn deal. Hope I can get one before it sells out!
4K is the price 😵💫
You can buy a 4090 prebuilt for that price
$4000 usd for something that a $500 ps5 or Xbox can do? Nah I’ll never
actually, this one specifically sells for 5800€ in france right now lmao
@@mr.erikchun5863 you're just wrong. Its not a good price but you're just wrong

My desktop has an i7-9700k and an RTX 2080 super and this laptop is mopping the floor with it. Crazy how far laptops have come in such a short time.
did you spend over 4k on your build though? cuz this is what these things cost..4-5.5k

To be fair though, a typical gaming desktop will pump out plenty of hot air too.
may I have that I'm almost about to give up collecting enough money for for any powerful pc or laptop
I got mine scar 17 3080Ti 16gb, 3TB SSD, 64 ram and for 4750$ and it’s glitching crazy… even warranty can’t help! Wasting money 💰
It was working for 6 months then it’s not turning on sometimes, if it’s finally turned on it’s stuck on opening any files, games, apps on computer… never buy loptop with the extra ram or memory! You can be out of your warranty. Crazy!
Literally the only time I can understand and justify the lack of Runescape 3 in benchmarks - running it on a laptop would set it aflame, 4090 or not. Still, counting days till you get a beefy enough PC to benchmark it on.
im interested in the 4050 with thr upgrades and dlss 3 + frame gen surely its alr better than last years 3060 which was alr enough for most ppl AAA games high settings at 60fps and competetive games running easily ofc
all at hopefully a good value
Bruh 4070 is straight trash and not much of a difference when a 3080 can beat a 4070. If you want real performance get a 4090 or stick with a 3080 ti for the moment
if you want this with good value get the 4080 version
First with the mislabelled 4080 that they had to de-launch and now with the 4090 laptop, Nvidia really needs to stop lying to their consumers. Performance however is incredible, 3080TI/3090TI Desktop performance in a laptop is now a reality!
Why didn't you test video editing software and 3d software like blender
I do like the improvements made, however with gaming laptops, high end to low end, I always find there is stutter involved where on desktop there is not as much.
There is no shutter, laptops GPUs are performing 75% to 85% as their deskstop Couter with 75% less Wattage. I consider that to be very impressive.
@@Sanadtm have you not heard of 1% lows?
@@Sanadtm I am not a reviewer, however I was a major enthusiast, I have tried virtually all the laptops from 30 series and varying wattages. Yes, there was stutter. Yes, you are right, less wattage and obtaining higher performance is great, however the laptops also rely heavily on the processing software like FSR or DLSS, but again are better optimized in order to squeeze out the most FPS per watt.
You are right that it's impressive to see the ratios of performance and wattage, however you are incorrect as I have direct knowledge and use case scenerios on these laptops with stutter on a variety of games, SKU's, and performance. I also very much distrust laptop manufacturers now, my favorite was when ASUS claimed to be the most powerful, yet did not even have a MUX until recently in their SKU's. As well as when they were asinine with their GPU descriptions, and were deceptive because a manufacturer would claim a high powered 3080, yet it was limited at 95W and it would be no where on any page to see the wattages other than the technical data lol. That is why I went back to desktop.
I'm planning to run mine on my 8 30 inch 2560x1600 monitor setup at my home office, 6 30 inch 2560x1600 monitors in the office and with two Innoview 18 inch 2560x1600 500 nits portable monitors and a 14 inch ultrawide 3840x1100 Wisecoco portable monitor everywhere else that isn't space constrained.
Including on my bespoke dual monitor couch gas arm mount.
For planes, trains, busses and passenger seats I'm running it with the integrated monitor and the 14 inch Wisecoco using a custom bracket to mount it to the top edge.
bro u should have included benchmark as well
Great review Bro...I love it.. please I wanna upgrade from my old Old alienware area 51 first gen to a new one but I want something less bulky...can you compare with razer 18 or alienware x18...thank you
Can it run 2 chrome tabs and excel at the same time? Doubtful
Unfortunately, no. It throttles.
For the price you will have coil whine bonus, black screen bugs and weird sounds scratch during scrolling!
I've seen the 4090 laptop GPU in a few laptops, compared against other high end GPUs and while some games are indeed seeing a decent increase to outstanding, but there's also quite a few that the increase is in the 20 to 30 percent, that's not worth the price unless you only play the games that see a massive uplift for the price it's in my opinion not worth it
Not sure what your specific usecase is mr.Wick, but I can assure you for those of us only using high end VR (VARJO AERO and XTAL3) it makes a huge difference.
rich ppl dont give a shit
Don't forget laptop gpu is mobile its only fits 64% of real 4090 desktop soo laptop gpus should be named different
Hmm is laptop screen and keyboard free?
@@TomiIslam33 I agree they should some how, but I'm aware this was a laptop card what I was saying was for the price your going to pay for this laptop it's just not worth it in my humble opinion, is all I got last year's best and quite excited with it
It's pretty bad that I'm getting one of these only to play Victoria 3
the price is higher than your pc gaming set up 🤣
just watching and waiting to see how much heat that things puts out
the temps looks great on cpu 77ºC!!
Hows the screen vs a 16" ips? Cuz ofc miniled is superior but what about this vs the 16" of the gstrix for example?
Can you run Star Citizen on it??
Whats the longevity of gaming laptops like these? Do they throttle overtime if gamed on extensively each day?
my old ASUS Rog Strix laptop is almost 3 years in use and it works like new, it have a liquid metal thermo paste, I didn't reaply thermo paste, temps are not rising, there's no throttle, only thing is, you need to clean fans from the dust 2 to 4 times in the year
I have the Strix 17se with the 3080Ti and 12950hx, for the 2k 240hz display I find it already sufficient to make everything run well ..these are excellent machines, nothing to do with msi and various barebones, I also prefer it to razer. The only thing is the ddr5 still stuck at 4800 even in 2023, among other things here you can't put the ddr 5 5600 because you can't put the xmp profile in the bios .. the only shortcoming of these monsters
I also have the 3080 version but these laptops are wayyy beyond the performance of our machines. I get like 80fps on Lost ark. Im sure this laptop would get me to like 170fps
Thanks for the review! What is your timespy score? My rtx strix scar 17 with a 3080 can only hit 11K :(
This is a beast of a graphics card for a laptop, i would literally like to get my hands on one of those.
Can you hear the Coil Whine while watching UA-cam, browsing etc AND/OR during gaming? Can Coil Whine be fixed with future software/bios updates?
Cool) Very unusual and ultra compact performance system. It would be very cool to buy one for myself, but I'm afraid the price is high for a laptop
You also need to work with the sound, because sometimes rattling sounds are heard
Theyre just 4080s re branded as 4090, so they can charge y’all more..dont be fooled💀
One beautiful powerful laptop!!! Considering purchasing this beast!!!
Could you give a Furmark (GPU only load) noise sample, please?
So for you, who are interested I found one like this at the local shop for 4600 usd, I've decided to build a similar in perfomance PC desktop with the same spec monitor and just a good keyboard. I was able to save up some money on CPU, using new Ryzen and I've chosen a RTX 4080. So my desktop PC in almost the same configuration ended up at a price point of 4000 usd.
Yes delta is whole 600 bucks, and yes you are getting stuck with same CPU and GPU, but to be honest, I don't think it will be a bottle neck for 3-4 years, cause my current spec is Ryzen 3600 and RTX 3060 and it handles games just fine and it's almost 2 years old by now.
But there is a problem, I had to move recently and you know where is my desktop? Yes it stands back home, and I have to use a shitty laptop provided by my company for already three month.
So for me, it is very important to have a beast like this. I can just close it, put in my back pack and have all the power I need at any place I have to travel next. Is it worth to pay extra 600 bucks for this? Definitely yes.
The battery is holding back the gaming laptops.
What is the price for 4070 version?
I was searching for scar 18 rtx 4090 and you came up. How 👏 🙀 😯 😊🥰
Why is Cyberpunk at 3:40 not filling the screen? :O
3 or 4 USB 3.2 We need. Intel core j9 RTX 4090 or RTX 5000 64GB Ram 3 SSD 2 Picie 4x4 And 1 Picie Gen5 . I'll wait for get one .
Thank you for the review.
I wish I could afford this, but it would not be a wise decision.
Nice review and great laptop. Thank you sir.
Finally, a 4090 laptop from ASUS ROG!
with the 16 having a micro led screen and having the exact same specs, would you recommend it over the 18?
Does it have a mini-display port for VR headsets?
I bought it for my birthday, it’s arriving on the 19th, I’ll edit it then.
as long as I can run start citizen im sold xDDD
5:17 last year's Asus Strix models had 360Hz screen
A test on accoustics would have been nice.
9:35
i did not know dlss could cause that much latency!
@3:26 Are you sure?? Nebula HDR goes up to 1100 nits!! It's the regular Nebula that's only up to 500 nits!!
thank you for the video, is it possible to add an ssd with heat sink? is there room? like a Seagate FireCuda 530 for example
would love to own it, but for a steep price price of $5000-$7000 is too much.
Hi, thanks for the review. Please tell if the coil whine occurs often in this laptop in office work and gaming, or only in games' menus? Unfortunately I am actually a bit allergic to coil whine. Ordered the laptop but didn't pay yet.
Nothing noticeable really - but I haven't tested in CAD etc
How is the laptop battery, mine be getting dumb hot 🔥🥵 any tips to keep it from cooking my eggs
Can you turn off those lights in the front of the laptop? Just curious.
Price is way too high.
Its a lovely looking machine. Looks heavy though. I lug a Steam Deck and an ASUS OLED laptop around and they already weigh lots. This laptop would finish me off.
The only way I can see such a laptop for me, would be as a desktop replacement. The RGB on the edge is cool, but the novelty would wear off quickly.
Still nowhere near as heavy 18 inch laptops used to be. This would be light for me.
So for this price you can get a prebuilt pc with a way better oled and even a stereo setup. Shit add a cute headphone dac/amp there too
Waiting for 50XX, those will be equally insane prices however the upgrade will be worth it....
Currently rokin a 17" legion 3070 130w, it drives MW2 on a 3440x1440 high @ 75hz stable which for my shit eyes is perfectly ok 😅
I am curious to know if you ever figured out the HDR?
We love you PC CENTRIC!!! ❤
It doesn’t show up on the Amazon link, at least here in CA.
I prefer this since a PC you can’t move it anywhere or take with you anywhere and connect it anywhere.
For only 3500-4k?
For around 4 thousand dollars I can have one too?!?!?!?!?!?!
God dang what a good god damn deal.
Hope I can get one before it sells out!
How many hours will this give me?
I want to be able to use this for productivity as well.
i would get this instantly, but most of the reviews mention a weird static sound.
PURE INSANITY THE PRICE!!!!!!!!!!
