Hello everyone! I wanted to address another video that (from the great guys at Hardware Unboxed) heavily criticized this notebook's cooling. It had us dropping everything, re-testing and re-validating our observations about the A15. We even reached out to HUB to see how our results could be so different from theirs; because seriously, both weren't even close We'll be posting another video in the coming days once we get to the bottom of things but right now, after another ~50 hours of testing and comparisons, nothing has changed from Eber's observations about cooling in this video. As for the screen, we don't have a way to scientifically measure response times (YET!) but both Eber and I gamed quite a bit on it and neither of us felt there was anything specifically lacking that we hadn't seen on similarly priced notebooks we've come across. What you see is our honest subjective feedback about that. Stay tuned for more! - Mike Editor In Chief, HWC
could be room temps causing the difference
That cooling design at the bottom is awful, terrible air flow and high temps on CPU, obviously that will short life span of all components. I have decided to remove the bottom cover and put the laptop over my cooling pad to lower the temp from 88° on full load to 67°. Asus needs to come up with an updated design on that disastrous bottom plate.
Any updates?
You don't have to say that, we trust you.
good thing you posted this. as I watched yours right after and had to go WTF a little
When you've been eyeing this laptop for the last 2 months, and its sold out everywhere
in germany its only available in black. and noone even thinks about to offer the grey ones. am i the only one who doesnt want a black laptop???
@@alpay389 I would buy it. Still 2 months before it comes to india😭
in amazon uae lot of stocks
I ordered one from Computer Upgrade Kings through Amazon. It took a month and a half, but I did receive it last week. So far, I'm loving it. The lid/screen on mine is very tight...no real wobble like shown in the video. I've been playing StarWars Battlefront II nearly non-stop since receiving this and it's been great. Start up is near instantaneous and the fans aren't as loud as I expected.
@@AaronLittle Can you say the specs of your order and how much you paid for laptop?
The usb 2 port is just there for an external mouse
Atleast its on that side I have a 1st gen tuf laptop they slapped every I/O port on the left side!
but a mouse on the right side is a very bad spot
or a cooling pad
Bios updates
@@parthpatel9602 IFKR. Same here
that review was WOW, so calming
I like the different keys for the WASD. Great stuff on showing how easy we can access the cooling unit and mainboard for upgrades and maintenance. Maybe in future laptop reviews, can we see more of this aspect please?
The USB 2 port is probably for mouse, right? Esp. if you use one of those with a tiny USB receiver
If its wired mouse the cable will be in the way.
@The Hacker Wow, genius. No one knew that.
@The Hacker thanks sherlock
Agree. For the mouse.
USB spec aside, didn't Eber complain that the G14 had too many ports on the right side?
Waited so much for this review... Thanks Hardware Canucks!!!
Picked up this A15 about a month ago. Couldn't be happier in all aspects. Price, performance and especially battery life. The only sad thing is my old desktop sees very little usage now. Great review!!!
@Farhan Rahman I would say it gets pretty hot and the fans are fairly loud. At times too hot to have sitting on your lap. I paid $1490CA and for the budget price, you have to live with it. The AMD cpu eats up any task with ease.
When intel losing so bad , that Asus changed sides to AMD .
Most of the high-end laptops from Asus are still using Intel unfortunately
@@leochen5866 I think amd should build a good position in budget and mid-range, then people will be happy to pay more on amd
They're still pushing for people to buy their Intel laptops.
They've marketed the AMD laptops to get people to buy them, but they all have issues that their newest Intel laptops don't have.
@@ArmourGX like what
they aint loosing this is great for competition and pricing no matter what platform you go for. And this is what I like to see prices dropping everywhere on both sides.
Now say it with me W-A-S-D
THANK YOU! I thought he was saying WASP! LOL

One of the best reviews I've watched! Thank you for this video review!👍
I bought the G14 and am absolutely thrilled with it. Having a legit gaming laptop that also gets 8-9 hours of consumable media content is just amazing. I also love the fact that if I don't plan on gaming I can just bring a tiny 60w brick with me for charging.
My new laptop crush :)
Great review btw.
I've been seeing all this new laptops with ryzen for months now and i would love to get one, so far there is nothing available from sellers in my country...are all these paper launches?
Not exactly, the amount of stock getting to retailers is limited because Air Freight and Shipping are currently limited around the world because of (you know what). These products all exist but they are taking a long, long time to actually get into the retail chain.
Feels that way doesn't it. Sad but true I feel the same way in the USA.
It's in stock on Amazon?
A lot of people now working from home needed a laptop so demand outstripped supply.
Where are you? I'm in India and the news sites say this should launch on Amazon India next month. That's a reasonable amount of time for my sister to wait since she needs a laptop for college which will start around that time.
Did anyone else notice that very clean intro? The music and fade in, very solid guys.
I like the way you show the temps ,Great review
Watching graphs has never been so exciting! I loved how you slowed down the animation on the Gaming Load - GPU graphs as they neared the end of the test. Such attention to detail! ❤️
AMD: "Hasta la vista, baby"
Intel: 😵
LOL, it's good to see that we have choices on what kind of gaming PCs we would like to carry around. (:

Your voice is sooo soothing and so good, the videos are itself so peaceful/satisfying to watch !
Awesome insightful reviews - explains every aspect of the Laptop precisely and concisely.
*Literally reviews a gaming laptop* - "idk guys, it looks a bit... gamer-y." :D Good review though haha
Gamer look ≈ bad
I mean I like the gamery looks that gaming laptops and other electronics have. Not everything needs to be sleek and boring.
@@illusionhill8289 agreed
@@ahsan.v8 but don't you think it's over done? Not everything needs to be edgey or rgb all over it. I think there is more gamery rgb throw up designs rather than sleek. Plus "gamery" always drives up price tag, but that's just me. You do you.
@@poeticsilence047 I understand the rgb complaint but why complain about the wasd keys as well?
Nice to see that you share your love of cars with us Ebert. (: I want to say that thankfully AMD is staying with their M.O. Inexpensive yet plenty of value for the price of entry. If this was an Intel laptop, I would assume at least a 15% to as high as a 25% price increase. Just because of the CPU having a higher price. Thank you for this review Ebert. It was fun to watch. :)
cars..?
Waiting for this video
Thanks Bro!!! ;) ;)
very nice and DETAILED review guys. Keep it up! thank you
Also I appreciate USB 2.0 because some legacy stuff actually acts up with USB 3.0
Me encantan reseñas así, pausado, entendible, sin gritos.
Quisiera que hagas de la nueva dell g5 15 se Amd
Si mesa hagas de logo??
Ur edit and calm demeanor so good
Thank you so much. Just ordered one. Moving from console gaming to PC gaming. Long overdue I think. Seems like a great starter set.
Let's be honest, most laptops are just going AMD and will stay like that for a long time. Nice review Hardware Canucks
Edit: Thanks for all the replies. The reason why I said most laptops will be going AMD is because they are producing high quality mobile chips that are currently better than Intel's. Of course Intel will catch up soon but for now AMD is the best. So realistically, it won't be such a long time.
I think Intel options will still remain but we'll see more AMD options coming in.
Choice is good though Intel should step it up soon
but no thunderbolt though, so i think intell will stay on most notebook offering for a while
@@albioncia thunderbolt aren't that important. USB3.1 can handle most of the jobs only except for external GPU. And to be honest, how many of the consumers will take advantage of that? For other jobs like external monitors, power, flash drives, USB 3.1 is almost identical to thunderbolt
@@albioncia USB 4 has all the features of thunderbolt. also thunderbolt has security problems.
@@vailgrass yeah but no fast thunderbolt storage or nas, and no egpu. i think most people ditch egpu requirement for price but when you had your gaming notebook for 2 or 3 years you wish you had egpu support because usually the cpu still good but the gpu is lacking. that is what happening to me, ive had lenovo y700 since 2016 and couldnt afford to buy new gaming laptop and without egpu support i cant play newer games with lowest setting at 1080p since late 2017 and i cant play newer game at 720p since last year. (technically i can but the fps dips below 30fps most of the time)
Please review the eluktronics Matrix RP.
Super pleaseeeee
Atlast your review is up ...
Thank you for this review, will be getting it. Though it will be a challenge to ship it where I live lol.

I have never found myself wanting a separate texture or color for my WASD keys or any other key for that matter.
I have a 17 inch model ordered and on it's way to me. The WASD keys being lit don't bother me.
@@thomasmead4642 it's just not aesthetically pleasing to me
This is the best review I've seen on this laptop tysm
So helpfull, thank you

Irrirs what irris
Lol
I wish they had come earlier in the country I live in😭
Bought a Nitro 5 (2019) right now, as the TUF FX505 wasn't really a good option for me
L
I own the fx505dy with ryzen 5 3550h and rx560x with the 120hz screen and can tell you it's a great machine
I bought the TUF FX505DT in Feb. It was between that and the Legion Y530.
What were the drawbacks of the TUF (compared to the Nitro), in your opinion?
Battery must be one surely.
@@samsan3401 Had the choice between Nitro 5 2019 and TUF FX505 last year, here's what I found.
Lack of type-C port on TUF, and in some regions, some Nitro 5 has 90+ percent sRGB screens. Also Nitro 5 has 2 m.2 slots, while still having a 2.5" drive.
Build quality is quite similar, cooling is... Different (Nitro 5 has higher cpu temps but lower gpu temps)
@@nrgamingtech2797 but you're giving up battery size. I thought it wouldn't be important for me but it really limits mobility at college. The weight is still heavy compared to stuff like Dell XPS and HP 2-in-1s that my classmates have so I don't want to carry it around too much.
Just got this and I'm super happy with it.. Light years ahead of my previous 1050 laptop
Most thorough testing of A15 on yt, bravo
Transparent WASD keys compliment the gamery design of the interior, font sucks, but the overall key layout and spacing is good especially arrow keys.
The TUF aesthetic is what sells this laptop. It irks me when reviewers harp on design choice, ESPECIALLY when they want it to look like every other laptop. I applaud ASUS for taking a different approach and keeping design language unique.
I want a gaming laptop that I can masquerade as a working laptop
Get rid of the different WASD key please :(
@@jamesdakrn used thinkpad, either one that has thunderbolt for e-gpu or one with workstation gpu that works fine for gaming
@@virtualtools_3021 by that point nah not worth it.
I just hate this whole aesthetic tbh i want to play games but being a 15 year old "gamer" is not an identity
I still bought the fx505 and I like the performance to price (especially bc i had an extra RAM and SSD already that Ive upgraded) but the 1 thing i hate is the wasd key.
Fuck egpus it makes my workspace way too cluttered at home
I now got the company to ok me selling 2 imacs and 2 thunderbolt displays they sent me when COVID started no so im probably building a new pc too lol and as far as cases go i am NOT going for the obnoxious RGB look
I don't know what problem do people have with gamery looks? Not everything needs to be slim,sleek,understated and boring. I literally use my Alienware as a work laptop and nobody gives a shit what type of laptop I have. And also nobody CAN give a shit because its my choice and what I like,go buy a boring laptop if you don't like these aesthetics but don't tell me what type of looks I should prefer on my OWN laptop that I bought with my OWN money.
@@ahsan.v8 makes it too much of a target for theives, at least in some areas.
This A15 review makes me even more happy with my purchase of the G14 for the same price. G14 was on sale this week at Best Buy for $1200.
Great review. Just ordered mine and it will be here tomorrow!
How is it?
@@DRACO-lr9yf best notebook I’ve ever owned
This is exactly what I needed 2 years ago

Damn this thing is pretty impressive!
Nice chill intro. Well done.
i like that its separated!!! love the RBG keyboard...love it
Re your question about our feelings on WASD key differentiation:
I always remap my movement to ESDF, so differentiated WASD is a big negative, for me.
Ya. Good for you.
(4:25) He asked us to let him know in the comments what we think of differentiated WASD keys.
From-the-hip snark doesn't help answer his question.
Nice! a new budget laptop to recommend to my friends in University!
Exactly what I had in mind!
The ryzen 7 is not abudget laptop the ryzen 5 model is the budget laptop
@@GalaxyAddict15 Yeah they have from ryzen 5 to ryzen 9 models with different gpu configurations too
@fifty YT Yeah the cpu is already better than my dead laptop with a i7 8750H and RTX 2060 and if you get the RTX 2060 model it is still cheaper than when I bought my laptop.
Asus has really been on a roll making fantastic laptops it's great to see! Currently eagerly waiting for my g14 to come in!
Thanks for the review, you sold me on this laptop. Need a new laptop, and saw that Best buy will have it on sale for black Friday. Seems like this is the best bang for my bucks.
It's gonna be my baby, just 2 days more...🔥
just got mine today
@@notsteve1475 does it get very hot?
@@pravin7541 not at all. And the boot up is lightning fast
I'm not pushing it very hard yet tho
@@notsteve1475 cause I’m recommended to get it for school but I’m scared it’ll get too hot roughly how hot does it get for you and what do you do on it
Being a siege player, I certainly do not keep my T-AA to 4x, instead can you bring it down to TAA and render scaling to 100 with a res at 1920 X 1080.?
This setting would enable us (most of them) to compare the stats with different laptops
I love how the Porygon wallpaper perfectly matches the laptop's colours
Love your vids! Very detailed and well presented.. I bought A15 and love it. Thanks!
Im planning to buy.. may i ask, hows the heating issues, esp. when redering 4k vids? Thanks
just bought the laptop few days ago. few facts maybe you guys want to know:
playing games on turbo mode and ultra settings makes the cpu/gpu temperature too much high. 95 average.
on performance mode 80-90 average.
but if you play it on silent mode and medium settings (sotr), your laptop stays within 70 degree,which is really nice.
for those who want a budget laptop, definitely can choose this. just make sure not to play games for too long in turbo mode, this can reduce lifetime of the laptop.
Turbo mode?
@@thedarkestwhite9460 didn't use the turbo mode much, never needed it....i could play with medium settings most of the games......
Gotta admit, even if I had my eyes on the G14, this makes me reconsider my choices. Though I do. prioritize portability, this is still so good
Definitely, So like me. The moment i heard of this G14 beast. One little boi cramming up everything that comes ahead of him. I was so much into buying that masterpiece. But this definitely made me re-consider my choice too. Even though G14 is way up my budget but still i was surprised to have a compact 14" laptop with so much more. I have watched over 15+ videos about how much better it was than rest of the laptops. I said now the only thing i need is this little beasty boi. And now I am seeing this and saying to my innocence "Steve Harvey Style "I have to Apologize....! :P " But still will have to see more to consider my choice since G14 won my heart already. I can't cheat him with this being even though better at some point but with lesser build quality,color accuracy,bigger size and design. I'll still prefer my beasty boi :P
My g14 arrives tomorrow. I think the biggiest factors for my between the two are the 1.7kg weight of G14, the way longer battery life made possible by the MQ GPU only sacrifising 2-3% of fps, and most importantly, the costmizable LED on the cover. For me, the TUF 15 is puely for gamer while the G14 is targeted for a wider designer/creators who would also like to play some games on the go, justified by the 1440p screen option which is what im getting. Both great laptops with AMD cores, just different use cases.
@@MrFACTS-mk1ib Mate j completely feel your pain. This has been what I was thinking all this time lol
@@xiangruyin7604 Bruhhhhh, that's also true. The weight of the G14 is just so light, which is exactly why I wanted to get it. But still, this has made me look away from it.
@@xiangruyin7604 Well do you think you ordered the one with Anime Led Matrix display because I think that's still not available till now. Heard Some reviews saying they ordered that one but instead it was $1450 model with no Anime Led Matrix. Good for you. I am also not a gamer actually. A Programmer actually who would like to have same games to play on the go.
I know this video is old but just saw this in the shop today and honestly I think it's gorgeous, I love the keyboard with the separated wasd. I want a laptop that makes me stand out from everyone else in my computing class and this is definitely it
Thanks for the review!
Can you please add a segment when you're doing the webcam to note how quiet the machine is when doing work, or chatting? Sometimes those fans are poorly programmed and they make a lot of noise, say while watching a movie, which will ruin the experience.
Hey bro, Nice video. I'd like to ask you a question. Is still a good deal buy this computer for $750-$800 dollars? Here in Mexico the Asus Tuf is in that price. I'm looking for a computer that runs Filmora 9, I'd like to edit in the computer cause I'm starting a TH-cam channel. Greetings from Mexico!!!
Hi
Sub!!
This is proof that getting the laptop with the "fastest" CPU doesn't mean you have the best machine.
Ofc, better gpu makes a bigger difference
Just if you need a better GPU. Not every software needs a 2070 super.
You can have professional renderings with a GTX 1060, just cause some of the most advanced engines work with multi cores.
@@jacintofernandes2907 Actually, the GPU rule kinda applies here as well. A 2070 is crap if it's constantly thermal throttling.
Giuseppe Nativo oh you can but if its your lifes work youll want more performance to increase efficiency and decrease time
Well.. it depends what you are trying to do. If all you care for is raw CPU horse power without compromises, nothing beats the XMG APEX 15 and its full blown AM4 socket paired with a 3950X. But then, it weights a ton and the battery would only last you enough to save your stuff and shutdown the system, so that one is more like a LAN party machine than a "real" laptop.
So, outliers aside, most of the manufacturers are in the eternal struggle juggle between performance, portability, lipsticks and pigs, and what matters is what works best for your specific needs. And yes, something like this would be more than enough for pretty much anyone in 2020, and at that price point it looks interesting even for a die-hard desktop fans like myself.
Exactly the specifications i need
Hi thanks for the review! I’d just like to ask if the fans get loud, would the webcam or headphones pick it up if I was recording a video on the laptop?
Could you try and do a review on the dell g5 15 se. I feel like these laptops are direct competitors for performance and price.
that one is actually a litte better because it use AMD smart shift
i dint mind the shitty visiuals however the storage turned me off even if u upgrade itll end up costing over my budget
also the lenovo 5 15
dave lee has done this review
@@Coctvdt yea
The stylings on this thing remind me a little of the Dell Adamo from back in the day.

Very nice and concise video !!! Is it out there another laptop with CPU 4800H and GPU 1660 ? any other recommendation ?
Superb review!!! Welcome to TH-cam boss
Hardware unboxing said that this laptop have a thermal issues is it true?
This is the a15 with rtx options. It have better cooling then the lower specs
@@ravenranuh Nope. It doesn't, it has the same cooling vent placement at the ram and heatsink just like the cheaper models. Please don't buy this laptop. I know that the battery life is tempting but the gpu has very bad performance because of the cooling.
Am i missing something here? How is mid 90's temps during gaming considered "good" thermals?
You are missing the fact that this a laptop, where machines often sit over 100 this laptop has good thermals.
@@wh0_am_152 Bullshit ... a CPU in the 90s is not considered "good thermals", no matter where. The 3600X with stock cooler also easily reaches 90 degrees. But stock coolers are also considered trash, as this laptops cooling design.
@@SURO90 3600x its a desktop processor man...dont compare laptops with desktops...read intel 9750h temps....ull be counting 100s
Good means it doesn't thermal throttle under the expected load for it. You can't just consider 80° a magic number

agree, one slow USB for mouse on the right, every other ports on left or back. I'm using an external screen on my Lenovo, and that HDMI on the right is soo annoying.
Please review dell g5 15 se
I don't think it will be available in India before August. Options for 120hz panel , 4900H will be coming
@@spector175 Isn't this guy in Canada?
The lack of information and Dell themselves saying they didn't have any quarter launch plans is why in early May I preordered the TUF, but I really was interested in the Dell. Of course now I know I'd have to either not get the 4800H or pay more, but I still don't know if the Dell runs cooler, than the TUF. I made the guess it wouldn't, because the 5600M runs hotter than a 1660 Ti, but that was just a hypothesis, not a fact. I can't get still under warranty t.i.m. repaste on a Dell, either. They aren't offering the 5700M on the Dell yet, either.
@@bipbop3121 I was talking about Mohit singh he's Indian. I think 5700m will be coming at the end of this year . I'm waiting for 5700m notebook as well . 5600m with smartshift almost attains the performance of 2070mq so I'm guessing 5700m will have almost the performance of 2070 super or 2080mq .
great review as usual waiting for your review of Eluktronics Matrix rp15
Happily contented with this laptop!
Man I bought this laptop and was super excited waiting for it for 2 weeks. They sent me a defective laptop, guess quality assurance wasn't great due to the pandemic but it was a huge disappointment. I sent it back and they confirmed that it is a defective laptop going into repairs.
Wow! Where did you purchase that you only waited 2 weeks? I waited about 5 weeks for mine from CUK via Amazon. They are still listed with a 1 month handling time.
I love how AMD laptops have fast RAM.
AMD made it clear to laptop manufacturers that they have to use dual channel memory at 3200MHz. but not all of them do it
@@katech6020 They need it to have good performance
@@UltraDXSASC AMD architecture is much faster with 2 sticks of fast ram.
Great review, subscribed! Can I ask, is there an affordable option out there with a more colour accurate screen or is it asking too much? What's the best choice for a decent gaming laptop with fairly accurate screen that doesn't blow the budget?
Really cool video. A review on the Lenovo Legion 5 with the Ryzen 7 4800H would be awesome.
Talk about the Dell G5 SE
Dell is trash
Gaming With Static wait really :o I'm deciding whether I should get this asus a15 or the dell G5 15
"Asus crammed in a really, reaaally good cooling solution"
-Cpu gaming temps 95° C
For AAA titles, I would say that's pretty normal..!!
Use a thermal paste or liquid metal to lower it down even more..!
You can cock food with the laptop while gaming! Asus is so thoughtful :D
About the minimum temperature of a Macbook in Bootcamp.
It's a gaming laptop. There are settings that limit the power usage, but to get the most out of the CPU and GPU, high temperatures in a gaming laptop are unavoidable.
I don't think he turned on Turbo mode for the test. He said he left it on the standard setup because Turbo sounded like a jet engine.
wished the WASD keys were same as rest, love the vid!!!
Will using a external ips monitor improve the color accuracy? Great review by the way
HC: The hits keep on coming!
HU: Tim the HitMan here - under no circumstances buy this laptop! The display and cooler are pants!
They say it got heating problem. Is it really that bad?
XIsaacX l yes, yes it is, because there are little to no vents at the bottom, you gotta use it without the bottom cover if you want better temps
@@STORMFIRE07 if I use it without the bottom cover will it like got some side effects of something? Wouldn't like the dust get on pretty easily?
@@xisaacxl3507
Yes it will, alternatively, you can try making slits in the bottom cover for ventilation, that might void your warranty tho
@@xisaacxl3507 see hardware unboxed's video of using it with and without the bottom cover
Watched this and thought, wow that looks like a competent competitor for my next laptop, watched hardware unboxeds video, and now I don't trust hardware canucks anymore 😅
Yep. They actually looked further than just a surface look at the thing. No mention of the "gamery" look of the gaming laptop, but actually how well it's built and how the screen works. I've never understood why Canucks is so popular, they're all surface glitter no substance in my experience.
@@nomindseye i wouldn't blame canucs, hardware unboxed is the ONLY source of this bad review i have seen.
Its damn cheap, corners are cut for it to be.. I dont agree with their video until we see similar priced other options. The screen isnt amazing but for gaming on the go its fine.
I have the device. There is a Driver update to help the the Problem with the screen and for the Cooling it is really great. I watched the Hardware unboxed review and I am wondering what the hell is he talking about
@@anaesthetics what do you mean ? All I am saying the review of this Channel is really great as like the Laptop. Give it a try
Nice Review ✨ is the screen shadowing noticeable during game?
The separated WASD keys was one of the reasons I chose to save up more and invest in a G14. Loving that thing.
3:30 That brushed look is pain to clean up, and insides show fingerprint so much. Dust gets into the little groves and the keyboard feels cramped to the left because of that numpad that people hardly use. And the WASD just kills the whole loook, yuckk. Wouldve loved little slips or dimples on the WASD instead of this eyesore.
Am I the only one who likes the interior design?
Seems great, if i was still gamed primary only on a laptop it would be very compelling, but i already sprung for the G14 after all the reviews for it hit.
I have this laptop and the hinge is waay better than you showed off, quite interesting, maybe you should tighten your lid screws and might improve it. I mean that webcam wobble was crazy, I tried shaking and hitting the table and the screen didn't budge one bit. Nice review either way.
All the great “complete” AMD’s laptops will be released in 2021..this years AMD’s laptops are on experimental state
Yeah I'm guessing its true but still 5700m will come this year which will have performance close to rtx 2070 super .
Quite a bummer that these AMD specced laptops always have some dumb thing going against it. Sometimes the aesthetic is wrong, no GPU higher than 2060, then shitty screens. Its just sad
"All the great “complete” AMD’s laptops will be released in 2021" Based on what?

Nah these laptops are certainly complete, last gen was experimental.
"The keyboard feels to gamer-y" really on a gaming laptop 🤦♂️
It feels bad. That's what he meant. It feels bad.
By the way, I really appreciate this *excellent* review!!
I like the sleek exterior mixed with a gaming centric keyboard. It's a good mix.
"Looks a bit gamery" It's a gaming laptop. What did you expect?.....
That got me too. Where is the problem? My ROG Strix Scar II looks even worse.
That is actualy why I will be buying lenovo Y540 instead. Just preffer when laptop looks slick instead of gamery.
He expected it to be like the G14.
IKR???!
Bruh the more I watch these reviews for G14, G15 and A15 back and forth, the more I'm confused which one I should buy.
What's your priorities? light weight? screen? cost? thermals? RAM upgrade limitations? Pros and Cons list and your priorities should clear it up. Or hey, whichever one is in stock at MSRP first, can't lose that way.
@@bipbop3121 thanks for the suggestion. The Pros and Cons list did took some weight off in choosing which model to buy in the near future.
@P ROG gets certain things better for sure. When it comes to the delicate balance of thermals and performance, better check the data and understand it before proclaiming a victor. Especially, when talking about ultras or thin and lights, which make compromises. It isn't really a difference that matters, but I was surprised to see the TUF (4800H 45W rtx 2060) out bench the G14 4800HS 35W 2060 max-q. One can lower the power and temps on the TUF down the G14, but you can't change the internals of the G14, nor can it handle that heat, nor pack up to 64GB of RAM.
Damn, Eber. Looking good! Looks like you’ve been running 🏃🏼 👍🏻 a lot.
wow i need this gaming laptop for video editting mainly
