    As a prior owner of the 2023 model, I sold it at a 15% loss and bought the 2024 model. To me it's totally worth it for the screen alone. The MiniLed is absolutely fantastic.
    What Jarrod didn't cover in comparison to the 2023 edition is...
    1 The charging brick is smaller -10%?, and lighter 775g, down from 975g. The wall cable is 2 inches shorter, the brick cable is the same.
    2 RAM is now 5600Hz, up from 4800Hz by default.
    3 The centre fan goes up to 8100 RPM up from 7100.
    4 Slight redesign of the hinge system.
    5 Increase in internal component covering material.
    6 The new laptop is roughly 50 grams heavier.
    7 Gamer aesthetics on interior, on keyboard deck.
    An additional feature the 2024 one has, you can turn off the status LED's off which is really nice for immersion retainment.

    As someone that just sold the 2023 Scar 18 to buy this one I have to say, subjectively I think there are more differences then mentioned here, the charger appears to be a GAN charger now which is a big improvement, the sound quality is much clearer then my previous 2023, it's better subjectively to my 2023 Blade 18 actually, and the design although subtle has also changed on the deck itself, the screen was always good on the Scar 23 but this appears much the same but with OLED like levels of contrast, the black levels are almost a match for my Sony A9L with only off angle viewing giving the game away slightly, this is a really lovely laptop now and easily the best of the 3 I've experienced in the past 18 months.

    This laptop is a monster and the best 4090 laptop apart from the Titan which costs 600EUR more. I only wish it wasn't plastic, when I am paying 4k for a laptop it should definitely be metal and it would be nice to have an OLED or 4K display too.
    However the 2023 version costs nearly 1000EUR less here and it performs the same in games. It doesn't have a miniLED display but you can just buy a 4K 240hz QD-OLED monitor with the money that you save. 14th gen Intel is a scam

      The Titan is mediocre in all test and only looks the best on paper. And given the results, this laptop is not the best 4090 either. Even the 2023 is better, and on some tests it's actually the worst 4090. It is a monster though, and I totally adore the mini-LED screen. But that alone is no reason to justify the expense.

      14th gen is just a refresh so no surprise that it can only boost .4Ghz over the 13th gen. Maybe next gen we will see leaps to above 6Ghz. Idk if we will see more cores though. Eventually we will need an entirely new cooling solution. I feel like cooling solutions are about to run into a brick wall as they are already struggling with the i9 13900hx. I can't imagine having to control heat output from 6Ghz and even more cores. Companies have to start being way more innovative if we want even more powerful processors in laptops.

      Probably the Intel one but first make sure that the models you have, are the same specifications as the models I found in my search. Firstly make sure the screens are the same. For my search I found out that the the Intel one actually had a better 500nit and 240hz screen while the AMD one had a 350nit 165hz screen. If this is the case get the Intel one.
      In my search I also found that the Intel is a i9 13900hx and the amd is 8845hs, and in this case the Intel processor is much better than the amd.

    what's it called when someone laughs quickly a little bit when talking
    Copilot
    The phenomenon you’re referring to is often called nervous laughter1. It’s a stress response to uncomfortable situations and serves as a way for the body to relieve tension or as a defense mechanism to avoid painful emotions1. However, if the laughter is inappropriate or follows every sentence, it could be a sign of certain conditions such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or Tourette’s Disorder2. If you or someone else is experiencing this frequently and it’s causing concern, it may be helpful to consult with a healthcare professional.

    @Vrenn_soK 10 місяців тому +3

    Well I did buy the 2023 version a month ago. Scar 18 seemed to be the best option for me (high performance desktop replacement mainly for work and occasional gaming, watching movies etc. And I wanted a good 18 inch screen, that was the main requirement). Well, CPU fan on this one was making a bit not-very-usual sound in higher rpms. Like a not-lubed bearing, or how to describe it. Rattling, but not like a broken fan rattling. I could live with it, but not for the money + I wanted to stay on the safe side - so I returned it and decided to get the 2024 because of the display. Yes, I paid the extra money. Not a big deal for a dev who was planning to keep it at least 5 years.
    And what a surprise! GPU fan on this one was making a very high pitch noise, which was almost impossible to notice in low rpms, but from lets say 30% up it was very annoying and almost crawling into my brain (like the high pitch sound devices for scaring mice or dogs). I + other persons could hear it standing several meters away, over the standard fan-air noise and a nearby running fridge... So, I thought it was a defective unit.. went to reddit, googled a little, and found several guys who bought this machine in the last month (all over the world) and reported the same issue. The thing is, all 3 fans in this device have got different sizes. I am a bit suspicious it may be a GPU fan design fail, not a real defect. Maybe the airflow is just catching some edge or whatever in this one and its making the whistling noise.. Anyway, fans in any Scar 18 are cheap crap, shame on Asus to put something like that into such expensive machines. My 6 years old 3 times cheaper laptop fans from another brand work like a swiss watch. No rattling, no whistling, no nothing. I returned the 2024 Scar as well and decided to wait for 2025 laptops, as there is no other option for me right now. I would like to get a good 18 miniled, but only with multizone / singlezone backlight switch (because of work) and unfortunately Asus is the only one making it right now.

    This video made me really glad I bought last year's model instead. It was far cheaper in the EU and this still even outperforms this one, if you don't need a mini LED screen I'd definitely recommend it over this one, at least for the 4090 version. Pretty much the same deal with all laptops released this year though.

How are temps in R24, Blender, and gaming 4k ray tracing for both CPU and GPU? Does the Laptop become hot tò touch? Can you install 6400mhz Memory? Does the BIOS let you manual overclock RAM and select profiles and voltage? Display has g-sync and HDR10? How many ms? Mux switcher tò disable iGPU? How does the 14900hx compare tò 13900hx? Can you make a test? Is GPU overclockable at least +200 core +1000 Memories?
