      Jarrod, just wanna say thanks for your website, I was able to save $902 on my Lenovo 7i 2023 with 4080 and 32gb of ram. I paid 2195 for it and the laptop came in yesterday, love it so far, much quieter than my desktop I7-5960x on rtx 2080ti running AIO cooler!

The laptop seems to meet all of my needed specs on paper but I can find no reviews at all of the RTX 4060 model, and only one short review of the 4050 version. Alternatively, do you have a recommendation for a different lightweight gaming laptop with a minimum of 8gb vram?

  • @user-jn8th6pc8p
    @user-jn8th6pc8p 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hi there, I need some advice on two Asus laptops. I am looking at the M16 and the Strix G18 but cannot decide which one I should go for. I am not a gamer and will be using the laptop for 3D animation and editing. The M16 has the i9 13900H cpu and the G18 has the 13980HX cpu, so the G18 is much more powerful and has the 18" screen. My biggest concern though is choosing option that is the most reliable has the best build quality as I have had endless hardware issues with my Asus Zephyrus 16 to the point where I had to return it for a refund after experiencing 4 breakdowns in only 3 months!
    So...I am looking for something powerful but simpler in design with less that can fail/break. I'm also not a big fan of the RGB bar lighting so a simpler design would be great, but I also don't want to sacrifice a huge jump in performance with the G18 if it justifies the higher spec.
    Which model can you recommend the most between Asus M16 vs Strix G18?

    In terms of the thermal throttling, I suppose the best way to get around that is to undervolt the cpu and/or gpu... is that the best thing to do or is there a better way forward (I don't want my gameplay to be affected by this)?

    Any trick on installing the RAM? I merely opened the back panel on mine and put it back on after checking the RAM slots and now the battery light indicator remains on even when the machine is off. Not asking you to solve this issue. Just wondering if there is some clear mistake that could be made here. Have already exchanged the laptop so no worries, but now I am afraid to open the new one to install another RAM stick. Thanks for your help if you get to this one.

    I’ve bought the zephyrus m16 from Best Buy (1x16gb version) and I want to upgrade the ram(not because it’s not working well just because I could use the extra boost coming with duel channel both in gaming and multi tasking)and I wanted to ask few questions if you don’t mind, first of all do I need both ram to be the same?(meaning by the same is that both are same gb and same model if you understand what I mean, if you don’t pls let me know{no disrespect in any means}), 2nd question: in best Buy in “specs” it says that the screen is led and 2560,1440 and I checked and all the models of the zephyrus m16 (2023) comes with 2560,1600 mini led so it’s either false what they wrote or that it’s actually different screen(if you don’t know it’s completely fine I just want a professional to tell me it’s ok so I could calm down.) Ty and I hope you will answer my questions

    Hey Jarrod, would there be any issue or diminishing returns adding a 32GB stick to bring the total to 48GB instead of matching the 16GB for 32GB? I don't understand the duel/quad memory, but would prefer the higher RAM for editing and casual gaming. Thank you!

      Different capacities in each slot adds a little inconsistency, but if you need the capacity that will probably outweigh it. This video was done with DDR4, but might help: th-cam.com/video/sZaIibCSHlY/w-d-xo.html

      @Daithi182 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the response, Jarrod. I watched that video, but unfortunately it didn’t answer my inquiry since this is DDR5 and that video was on DDR4. Am I right in understanding that the Asus M16 with one stick of 16GB (the US BestBuy kind) is already duel channel and by adding a secondary stick (say a 32GB for a total of 48GB) would make it quad channel? Thanks again!

    • @Lspixel
      @Lspixel ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Daithi182 Last year's model of the ASUS Zephyrus M16 comes with dual channel , one RAM soldered to the motherboard and the other one you can upgrade , the soldered RAM is single memory not dual , and mixing size (exp : 8gb + 16gb) is called Flex Mode
      As example (8gb + 16gb) : the common dual channel area will work in dual channel, while the difference of the larger module will be slower, will work on single channel. meaning 24GB(8+16) will behave very close like 16GB(8+8) for the first 16GB of memory used.
      so 8gb + 16gb will be less performance than 12gb + 12gb in dual channel But sometimes you won't notice it

    • @Daithi182
      @Daithi182 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Lspixel Still wrapping my head around it… So what about quad channel? How and when does that take into effect and is that better than duel? Or is that only if you have four sticks, which is for desktops(?) Ideally I want to just put a 32GB stick in the 2023 M16 along with the current 16GB. I know to match the 4800hz. Are you saying there would be better performance if the sticks matched in size (16+16 instead of 16+32)? I mainly do editing across the Adobe Creative Cloud apps, so Premiere, After Effects, Lightroom, Photoshop etc, so the higher the ram, the better. Gaming would be more casual.

Although tone thing came to mind, considering how efficient the RTX 40 Series is, I’m curious if USB-C Gaming is not that far off. 100W may not be enough, but maybe 140W(Just enough to get the game running at 120FPS)? Hopefully, next year 240W charging becomes the norm.

      I just got my 4080 Lp7i two days ago and I'm really enjoying it. Previously, I've had bad experiences with cpu thermals on my last laptop (predator helios 300 with 8th gen intel and 1060) and the Lp7i has the best cooling and temps of all 40 series laptops. The throttling he describes makes me positive the Lp7i was the right choice. Plus the Vantage software is so feature rich. Everything about the laptop just feels so complete, thought out, and easy to use compared to anything I've had. And Lenovos extended warrantys are so cheap and cover everything. Only two downsides is the screen, which is by no means bad just not flagship level, and the keyboard could really benefit from a metal/firmer deck. My previous laptops had S and A tier Keyboards and this is a B, maybe B+. It has great travel and keystroke feel, but just needs something solid behind it for my heavy fingers. Though I tried all the laptops at microcenter (scar, strix, zephyrus, legion, and raider) and really wasn't impressed with any of the keyboards. All about the same.
