it ain’t no scam gang it 🔥

Definitely he is talking about the car.

Hey, I am seriously considering the Asus P16 ProArt however I am reading everywhere their support is terrible in regards to warrenty issues should something go wrong. Is this true from New Zealand also or is this just an issue with the US? I would be buying either direct from ASUS if possible or from PBT . Thank you kindly in advance.

It says 1100 nits but it’s really 750

So you wanna blame asus for not doing your own research? The scar has the va panel with mini led the others have ips.

Recently bought one, and I have a question: Which monitor version is QHD+?

I bought one and made sure that all the specs are what I wanted them to be. This pc costs here close to 5000 US dollars , even when you have money to throw around you need to be smart about it. You chose the shortcut. You’re lucky the vendor accepted the refund.

2:18 Well, for that price point, I would do some research before buying. I mean, if you go to the website, these laptops come in different models and it also indicates the specs. I'm not saying that ASUS is not at fault, but at least do your own research before buying so that you won't fall for their marketing.

Legion fans😎

Yes the Coil whine you can hear cleary.

Where are you In New Zealand? North Island or South ? I am guessing you purchased from JB Hi Fi ?

It's just a matter of being very attentive to the specific model number they're very transparent about it on their website and they offer to compare in their website.

moral of the stoty dont buy asus product

5:15 "Coil whine is a totally normal occurrence in all modern powerful electronic devices" 🤡🤡🤡 People should stop coping with all the bullshit the tech companies are telling them. Noise that loud isn't normal, especially in idle. That's fucked up. Just return the shit while you have the return window until you get the unit without noticeable coil whine, you guys shouldn't suffer for that much money that you're paying out of your pocket

Is not just ASUS, all Brands have problems with the new scrape Products!

Asus sucks, I bought $3,990 laptop that bricked, went in for repair, they wanted $4,200 to repair the motherboard.

Definitely not buying this or other asus laptops as my first gaming laptop. Legion time!

Asus laptops = bad quality control

At 9:56 you said “be able to charge it with USB C” You can charge this laptop with USB C!?!? I have this model.

I am in Poland, it's year 2024 and a seller recommended on official Asus site is advertising ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834JYR-N6050) with "ROG Nebula Display" as having "ROG Nebula HDR Display"...

I really regret buying the Maximus Z690 Hero motherboard! The BIOS updates are a nightmare; I'm stuck rolling back to version 2602 even though version 3501 is available. ASUS customer service has been no help at all-they don't seem to read the emails thoroughly since they keep suggesting fixes I’ve already tried multiple times. Also, let’s not forget the infamous issue with the Maximus Z690 Hero motherboards having misattached capacitors that could cause fires. Luckily, mine didn’t catch fire, but it's still not functioning properly!

I just bought this in America us and it only says 240hz qhd am I likely to have same result?

Asus has sat in thier larels customer service has crapped out

Many tnx !

Never buy Asus. My laptop failed within 24 hours of sale. Asus replaced the motherboard ( they should have given a new piece) and now after one year it shuts down automatically.

I bought the ROG Flow x16 2023. It's a $3000 machine. The trackpad was lose. Display looked yellow from how poorly it was calibrated. ICC profiles it came with don't work on most games. The display wobbles. The Mini-Led blooming is extremely noticeable. The entire chassis is bent, including the display segment, making it look pinched and with "backlight bleed" (even though that shouldn't be possible with mini-led). The little rubber supports fell off. Thermal paste on the GPU was dry and gone, along with whatever material was used for the vrms. The liquid metal was all over the place on the cpu. Or rather NOT on the cpu. The temperature was obviously terrible. 95c when playing anything. The speakers are a joke especially considering the g14 has 6 of them and is $1000 less. The keyboard is backlit with no per key rgb. The space bar is lower from the right side of it than the left from use, even though that should never happen. The XGM port is proprietary and cannot be used with any external gpu, it is exclusive to the horrendously over priced dock with a laptop GPU. These are just the things from the top of my head. Remember, $3000. edit: Coil whine too.

Thanks you saved people a lot of money by not buying ASus. the quality of their laptops is really terrible since the last generation, and now it’s even worse. When I got ASU’s laptop 2 years ago I constantly got bleu screen and now it doesn’t even charge. I think it’s because many companies are moving production from china to India like apple, which causes the terrible quality

Thanks for sharing the experience. I've actually bought a different model (rog strix g713) and I'm hearing the electric noise as well but the customer service is telling me that the noise level is within their specifications. (The noise level is not as extreme as the video shown, but I can hear it..) I've been using the rog model laptop for almost 7yrs. This is the first time I feel like it's time to switch to other models.

I recently bought the G17 Version with "just" the WQHD Monitor which was also my first Laptop/PC even capable of Gaming. I got myself a pretty f*****g good deal, but buying a new Laptop/PC on time(Modern and fast) can be pretty frustrating if you haven´t been into the PC-Game in general. I guess I looked everything up pretty well beforehand, but the whole G16/17/18 Thing was very confusing to say the least. My eyes were on the G18 right on the beginning. It was in Budget and looked pretty damn awesome. The further i got into the theme the more i thought it would be a bit to much for my uses. Paying at least 2000€ more for a 4090,Intel 14900 and the Nebula Display with less RAM "Nope thank´s!" But a 9745HX,a 4070 and 32GB RAM for under 1800 BUCKS im IN. For Gaming: a 4070 is right enough if you dont want to play City Skylines 2 or 2077, for Editing using free Software with up to 2k more than good and reviewing the footage on a 4K HDR TV i didn`t need the G18 anyways. I missed the whole "SCAM" might be because I had to look everything up for the first time(and so many times) OR the fact that I live in Germany and had to look up everything myself in the firstplace because there was no AD. It just seems to be a issue with your retailer in New Zealand. P.S.: CHECK the BIOS with "My ASUS" for Updates, after that "Armoury Crate" then "Nvidia Drivers"("Geforce Experience"). Running Windows make sure to use the highest Energy Settings for everytime.--> let the Armoury Crate decide or change the settings there yourself. If you even still got one of these irrepressible beasts

ASUS been doing thise kind of shady things since forever, all kind of products. They're shameless and don't give a f about it. Which is why i try to avoid as much as possible everything ASUS.

You're right, the quality of Asus laptops in Europe is very poor. I also bought a Strix G15 and was surprised to see how much Asus has declined.

brother my asus laptop (G17 w 7945HX and 4060) made me update my bios and then proceeded to brick itself. Very sad stuff :/

Never buy any ASUS product! Just google ‘asus black screen issue’ My brand new ASUS TUF A15 doesn’t work properly. Thousands of people have issues with new and old ASUS products, always the screen, doesn’t matter year or model, and even monitors. F**k ASUS and everything they stand for!

Coil whine. It is a software problem. My G16 614JZ made in January 2024 does have it, but very very silent. I had this on my desktop with the Intel ARC A770LE after an driver/BIOS update, but it went away with the next update and never returned. Was quite prominent, I almost thought that something went really wrong with the update. Some people even reported that they returned the GPU.

Get a Lenovo I9 or I5 if you want a desktop replacement laptop. Lenovo has been hitting homeruns the past couple of years. The new liquid cooling in the I9 is geniuses. The legion go is also a brilliant product. Past ROG fans like me have switched to Legion over the recent bs ASUS has pulled.

I meant to add that Best Buy is awesome. Their customer service is impeccable. They gave me options but I decided to keep the laptop.

Nope. We got screwed here in America as well. The only reason why I'm keeping mine is because I got it for $1,700 at Best Buy. Open Box sale during the Thanksgiving Christmas holidays and the Laptop was in mint condition. My power brick still had the plastic on it and no screen bleed. The screen is NOT HDR. Only Dolby Vision for media viewing. Not games. I had no idea when purchasing due to the advertising. To make things worse I installed a 4tb secondary Nvme drive along with 64gb of 5600mhz DDR5 and found out about the screen afterwards. LOL! That's my fault but I was still bummed. Right now I'm searching for a MOD that can emulate HDR for non HDR screens. The 4080 is nice but I wish my screen colors popped more with better black levels.

You are just a hater get out

Thank you for the review. Your are totally right. There would be many people that got scammed Hope this video raise awareness to Asus and maybe other companies as well.

I need facts

This review has WAY to few views!

I want the money back😭😭

What company would you recommend?

God it’s so confusing. I want a this laptop but I want the one with the transparent key caps, the touch pad numpad and the mini led hdr display. Does this combination of features even exist or is it just a complete luck of the draw?

I have a asus laptop I will never trust them again

and this, is why I chose Apple over everything else

“American did really well.” My honest reaction: 🦅

Thanks for this information I was considering the 2024 Asus Rog Strix G18 because of the screen. The Canadian bestbuy website says ROG Nebula HDR however I checked on the Canadian Asus website its Nebula 500 nits.

hello friend, i want to send you a message about this and that do you have an email where i can do that?

Purchased an ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 with a 4070 and 240Hz display back in August of last year through Best Buy, and it was probably the worst purchase I have ever made. At the time, the employee who sold me the laptop had praised how powerful and reliable the machine was, so I bought it without hesitation. Having previously purchased other ASUS products and being satisfied with them, I saw no issue. The Geek Squad employee who eventually handled all my services for the laptop went on to tell me that the Zephyrus models were constantly having problems and were generally unreliable. This contradicted the praise that the initial sales employee had given me. In the end, I had to get it serviced three times; twice, the motherboard was replaced, and on the final occasion, the speakers became muffled out of nowhere. All the while, I had to wait two weeks or longer for the repairs to be completed. The laptop spent more time in repair/servicing than in use! Luckily, the stars aligned the day I took it to get serviced for the speakers, and a Best Buy GM was on location. I was able to get a full refund after what would have been three services, and the laptop was junked out. Maybe the unit I got was defective, but I don't think I will ever take another chance with an ASUS product again. Had I not purchased the almost $200 My Best Buy Total membership on top of the laptop, I would have been out $1600 and most likely would have had to pay for the repair costs/parts. Please consider other options if you are in the market for a laptop. An absolute nightmarish experience I wouldn't wish upon any customer.
