It's the graphics card and the display that blow the price up. I wouldn't be surprised if they all amount to 3 of the 4 k of this laptop. So Ram is sth you don't pay much attention at the end of the day. But you are right 32 gb on 4k machine is tiny. But then again rtx 4090 should not cost that much either.
That thing looks glorious! It's a shame its just a little to big for a regular backpack. I guess if you have money for this you have money for a new bag.
I own a 4080 scar and they used to come with OLED screens. Huge difference, why they went back on crap screens? this laptops have a lot of problems. Make sure you get a good warranty or get it from microcenter
I love me an Asus laptops. I have had two and they perform great. I generally like mine in an under $1500 format though lol. Are you sure there is no fingerprint scan? Mine has it weirdly embedded in the power button.
I’m really glad that you’re reviewing gaming laptops too! Thank you! 😊 I needed this! 🙏🏻 I’ve been looking for a new gaming laptop, and I love your honest feedback!
It’s impressive but that things more expensive than my Suzuki swift 🤣 I got a MacBook Air for my laptop needs and ps5 for gaming and think I’ll stay with them lol
How can you get an insane PC for 4k when an insane GPU is 2k alone. Plop down some money for an insane mb, ram cpu etc etc...,I'm well over 4k. Any suggestions on an insane PC minus the monitor, keyboard n mouse of course.
Prices need to go below $3k since the 5080 and 5090 are to be announced in January at ces and launching in Feb 2025, $2500 is the right price for this thing during a black friday sale, $4k on 2 year old tech isn't a good buy.
Would you guys buy one of these, or wait for 2025 gaming laptops to roll around? Last rig i built was 2013 and the last Asus gaming laptop I purchased was in 2009
@@TechOdyssey They absolutely are but they make up for it with the awesome cooling. I was fortunate enough to get mine with a heavy discount due to it being an open box item
Very nice laptop but I guess I'll stick to my $1000 MSI with the RTX 4060. I personally, wouldn't pay more than $1600 for any laptop, so I guess a 4070 would be my max lol
@@Grimmjow19872 Main problem with asus is a build quality looks and feels cheap plus old style power socket on the left side and of course is liquid metal which is proven it fails and asus warranty not cover it as they saying is your fault. Msi build quality is premium have proper power connector on the back and have paste on the cpu so no risk to fail like asus. A lot of asus laptops failing due to liquid metal there was before a lot about asus laptops online when i was looking for new laptop 5 monts ago but now most is removed from google search.
I go for Msi rider 18hx and is outstanding design and build quality laptop, games at 4k mini led looks different like new games and most of them runnig about 120fps @ 4k and some of them you have to use dlss on quality to get 100-120 fps. Do i will buy msi again ? YES 100%
@TechOdyssey I'd like to see how hard is to take off bottom cover if I decide to upgrade something in the future. I'd like to see which wifi card is there, is it upgradeable. I'd like to see if you have 2 x 1Tb disks in raid 0 or not etc. Hope that you got the point by now. Keep up with nice videos.
Just got mine a few days ago, I love it… Had 2 ROG laptops since 2012 this is my third, the keyboard gets quite warm while gaming I hope that’s normal. My main game is Gw2 and my god it looks amazing on this laptop compared to my old 17.3” one.
@ Yea for sure worth getting, the display is so clear… I also got the Ilano laptop cooler which helps a lot with cooling. I’ll download Minecraft and a intensive shader, and also Baldurs Gate 3 which is gonna be a perfect test which I’m sure it’ll crush, 233 ish fps for Gw2 with max graphics and a shader mod. So far I’ve only played Gw2
Do ASUS laptops still have the dive board touch pad? Those are super low quality. That screen looks bad for 4K USD, ASUS don’t get basics right, I have an ROG without a webcam and honestly there are moments when im ashamed of it. No battery life is a bad joke. If this thing had an Apple quality keyboard, really decent touch pad and 10 hour battery life and good speakers then yeah maybe I would consider it but for that much money you can get so much more. Like a great TV a console and an ultrabook.
@Grimmjow19872 I'm absolutely blown away. The Legion 9i, in my opinion, should be regarded as king of gaming laptops. I personally play all my games maxed out on hybrid mode. I have never played any game on performance mode, and it still handles it like a hot knife through butter. Talk about the build quality?. It is a beauty. Study casing with no plastics. The back has a forged carbon fibre. The specs 👇 Core i9 14900hx 64gb ram @ 5600mhz Nvidia RTX 4090 2TB SSD 3.2k mini LED (Dolby vision/Atmos and HDR 1000 Certified).

@@godiananyanwu5894 Nice, thank you for reply with alot of detail about it. Il look into it. I have a MSI laptop right now and looking to upgrade. I never use Asus and was looking into them. About with the specs you shown me, lil have to look into Legion9i.
Is it beautiful absolutely has the best of the best and is pretty quiet as well but like you said Adam if you're at home you can pick up a desktop for way less money and be just as good if not better. For me if I'm buying a laptop it's meant to be just that a laptop which is meant to be portable and this is a behemoth (specs are nice but still no thank you). I had a multi function HP that did everything it was a 17 inch and was it nice yes but honestly was kind of heavy and hard to lug around now I carry a Acer 16 inch Chromebook that pairs with my P8P and I do cloud gaming on it and love it sure it's not going to blow anything out the water but it works and works extremely well. But what a review here sir you never cease to amaze us. Thanks again for your service Happy Veterans Day sir 🫡 and as always we'll see YOU 🫵🏼 on the next one

32gb of ram and it cost 4000k? They’re smoking. Should be 64gb min at that price
Would be nice but with any games on the market and QHD display you won't use it at all.

There are definitely a lot of combinations that you could make work for you that are much much cheaper for sure
@ well since I swapped my best friend my s24 ultra for their 15PM the MacBook made some sense.
Do the 13th-14th gen laptop versions suffer for the desktop issues?
Nope. Not an issue

I got this for work, I pumped 64 GB of high speed ram and 8tb of ssd space. It's a beast for what 3d works I do.😅
Does the screen wobble a lot?
i have a rog strix scar 2021 g17 and love it.

you should try lenovo legion pro
Tell Asus to send me one
Msi raider or titan much better than this, cheaper - 4k hdr mini led - build quality - power socket on the back. Thats very important for me
So MSI is better than Asus? Am in the market for a new gaming laptop and can’t decide between msi or Asus

@@Grimmjow19872 See ? already my comment about asus was deleted from here in few hours so the guy must be paid to promote this thing...
Man, you can't do laptop review without opening it and showing internals. Also, I think that the 2tb drive is actually 2x1tb in the raid 0
Sure you can. Why do you need to see that it has an extra HD slot when i told you it does? Not taking the cover off for that.

Sorry very bad
I have it
If I play games crash after 10 min
I update every thing
😢 bo6 crash after 10 min i can’t solve it
Yeah powerful if LM is covered correct, otherwise throttling like ak47, saying as person who using it from last 5 months 😂
Seems amazing!
too expensive for this price i need rtx 7090 64gb i9 17980hx 2tb

4090 lapt gpu= 4070 desktop gpu..yeah sure..take my money🤢🤢🤢
Really?
The 4080 is 10% faster than the 4070 and the 4090 laptop is 25% faster than the 4070, it's the same performance as the rtx 4070 ti actually.
If you're a real PC gamer you know to stay FAR away from ASUS.
Why?
