    Doing a four month review for a product is something I highly respect. It shows on the quality of the review.

      @AjarnSpencer 2 роки тому +2

      it shows he is getting the most views and more money from videos titled with the name of this particular laptop, hence, flog the horse till it is dead. You do not understand monetization and using the stats and demographics section of a youtuber's monetized channel I am afraid. It is not the quality of review he cares about, it is money he cares about. I myself look at which videos get most views, I post about amulets, but my motorcycle reviews get more views! So, i decided to do more motorcycle reviews. In the same sense, this dude also decided to repeatedly upload reviews of this laptop to increase his earnings. No goodheartedness or over-dedication to reviewing involved i am afraid. Only pragmatism and greed. For Gosh sake let therte be truth at last! The world has turned into a pile of liars and deceivers

    If I could just take a moment to brown nose for a second. I must say Michael, I have watched you since your Pocketnow days. I enjoyed your reviews then and as for today, the reviews are just that much more polished and perfect IMO. They are concise without being too vague. They are robust without being too long. They're saturated with information about the product yet every piece of that information is educational and informative in helping the end users purchase decision. Plus, after all that they are really entertaining and visually stunning to watch. And to top it all off you continue to come up with subject matter that keeps the channel fresh like the "When phones were fun" series. Thank you for your years of dedication to the channel and content. The work you put in really comes through on screen. It's truly appreciated by this consumer.

    I just want to state the fact that he's playing these games at 4K.
    even an RTX 3090, which is the most powerful GPU available today, and a graphics card that costs as much as an expensive gaming laptop, has a very hard time pulling off consistent 60 FPS on a game like cyberpunk 2077, at a 4K resolution. all the more reason to be utterly AMAZED by the fact, that this 15.6" laptop can actually deliver a stable, playable experience.
    all the more impressive considering that this machine is actually way thinner than even a PS4!
    this is a very important thing to note, as I've seen people make fun of the "40-50 fps hype", because it does sound a bit disappointing.
    now I'll say this again, pretty much the single most demanding graphical setting in a video game is it's resolution.
    If you don't believe me, launch the most graphically demanding game you own, set the resolution to 720p (instead of 1080p), and check the fps count. from my experience, on my puny 4GB R9-290, the difference is usually twice as much.
    so again, a LAPTOP, that runs the MOST GRAPHICALLY DEMANDING GAMES ON THE MARKET, at the HIGHEST SETTINGS POSSIBLE, on 4 times the pixel count of most gamer's monitors.
    this isn't impressive at all, it's actually fucking mind blowing.

    12:55 Not true. They have PC cases the size of a 2013 original Xbox One console. You can build a very powerful PC with the Fractal Design Node 202 case or the Silverstone RVZ02 or RVZ03 cases. You can easily bring that with you in your car and drive to your Dad's house and hook it up via HDMI to his TV or a monitor.

    30fps in current day is not a good experience for any game (be it how demanding it can be). In most of the games fps is more imp than 4k res. So its suggested to always stick to 1080p for new games (if you don't have 3000 series GPUs from Nvidia) . Games have started to become more and more demanding now adays which makes me think twice before splashing on a laptop or a desktop. For a normal or a casual gamer, a Console is better suggested.

    Own it. Love it. Minus the Aura keyboard shortcut. The preset you make doesn't end up on the list of Fn+Arrow Keys, so if you switch it accidentally, you need to open Aura completely and change it. You also cannot re-map what FN+Arrow Keys does, so ... yeah. It was a learning curve vs my XPS 15.

    I bought the "Asus Zenbook Duo" earlier this year, with the i7 but I certainly didn't have the money to get that PRO model you reviewed. Even still, I couldnt be happier with it. Life at home means I've rarely used the 2nd screen (usually leave it off) but I use the hdmi everyday for a bigger screen. So once work is done - I have more than enough power for youtube on one screen & StarCraft 2 on the other. The SD card is a real winner as i'm a media junky and 512gb (475 usuable) storage isn't enough, so having an additional 256gb SD card to tank - help keeps the SSD storage on the lower side (and hopefully working for longer). Battery life is decent if you watch media & browse internet pages, but as soon as the GPU has to turn on... it's turns into an old big block V8 and battery depletion plummets fast! - I purchased mine in Australia (Harvey Norman - yes they were actually the cheapest by a good $200) - and walked away with it for $2,200 AUD.
    As happy as I am with mine... As soon as I bought it, I wondered if they would be able to give a tilt function to the 2nd screen... and oh hey.. they certainly did!
    Perhaps if things get back to normal in the near future I can make a costly decision whether to repair my desktop (ssd/motherboard/ram up the shitter) or spend more and get a very nice laptop..
    I prefer desktops.. but i'd be lying if that isn't what I always dreamed about getting in my school days... back in the days of 5110, 3210, 6210 & 8210s ^^

    The laptop has one major flaw which contradicts the main objective of purchasing this laptop: you cant use the touchsceen while gaming. Oddly, your main display is minimized if u attempt to touch the second screen while gaming. This defeats the main purchase of purchasing the laptop as it means you cant use the second display actively while gaming. For example if you attempt to use skype, whatsapp or discord in the secondary screen while gaming, your main screen would be minimised when you touch the second screen. This means that you can only use the second screen for display purposes while gaming but cant interact with it. Hence I would recommend it for creative work but not gaming
