Hey Jarrod, nice as always
This has been the biggest dilemma for me as I fear that removing those covers would end up voiding my warranty ( at least where I’m from)
hardware unboxed covered this issue. the covers indeed do something to route air in places they want.
I'm having that dilemma of whether to remove the intake vents. Trade off for a cooler 10c on cpu/gpu for a slightly higher 2c temps on keyboard is an easy decision but not the 2 years warranty.
@@zodiacfml Pretty sure that was the tuf a15 and its choked air intakes on the bottom panel not the zephyrus g15 with its fan covers.
@@mingyi456 my point is ASUS knows what they're doing. I do the same thing on my PC builds for a long time, covering some of the slots/meshes on PC case so that intake to exhaust air is routed better.
Asus getting too comfortable with blocking vents.
Only on laptops with ryzen tho xD
@@b-lotus5145 intel too, scar for example.
Ongggg
@@OnlyTrap808 yeah
In an effort to artificially segment and make their lower end laptops less appealing than their higher end laptops , they ended up spoiling their brand reputation and driving potential customers to other brands.
Congrats Asus, you played yourself
They do this on the TUF series too. Hardware Unboxed has a review on one.
Thank you Jarrod for reviewing this. I have this laptop for 6months and i don't have any issue. I casually play games for like 3-4hrs (performance mode) per day and the thermals are just fine.
Hello, I know it has been some months since you posted this comment, but I was thinking of purchasing this laptop. I cannot make up my mind as half of the TH-camrs say that this is the best while the other half hate it. You have personally been using it and I would like a non biased opinion from you on whether I should go for it. This laptop perfectly comes under my budget. Coud you please tell me whether The Asus Zephyrus G15 is worth it?
@@lSandmanl Buy either Lenovo or HP. Or Razer if you really like them in particular. The Asus G15 sucks ass, look up all the one-star reviews about temperatures, loud fans, poor wifi card, no camera, and especially I hate how immature/lame the red glowing eye is on the back.
@@vvvios on the 2020 model there is no red glowing led or anything, wifi card for me was flawless, thermals can be easily solved, it is a good laptop BUT it takes some tweaking after you get it. The people that reviewed with 1 star are lazy people or they just want plug and play( which i understand)
I REALLY enjoy the "backlight bleed" topic you hit. It is one of my greatest pet peeves when I think a device is perfect only to hit a loading screen and see all of the rays of light seeping out from the edges of this $1,500+ laptop.. THANK YOU!
I bought an asus g703. The screen had gaps around the bezels. Laptop cost over 2k. Returned it. There’s no excuse for that in a laptop that expensive.
Gonna have a warm winter with this.
with this you don't need to think about heating at your premises
In Texas its getting 1 degree might need it for the night
I purchased this laptop in 2021 after watching so many reviews with this review included which is very informative and helpful. The laptop did get very hot and loud when under heavy load. The CPU temp was is the mid to high 90 degrees Celsius but the GPU stayed in the high 70s to low 80 degrees. Did some research and found two fixes online which claimed to solve the CPU high temps issue. One fix was to open the laptop and remove the metal covers that were blocking the two intake fans. I did this and the CPU still ran in the 90s. The other fix did the trick which was to uncover a hidden power setting by going into the registry editor. Once unlocked, the "processor performance boost mode" tab is available in the "power plan options" which is set to "Aggressive" by default. By disabling this or setting it to "Efficient Aggressive" drastically reduces the CPU temps. My frame rates in games went up by 10 percent while the CPU remain in the high 70s to low 80s and never reaching 90 degrees. I still have this laptop to this day and it works great. I do believe this can be done on any gaming laptop!
Honestly, this will mostly depend on luck by the manufacturer and oem, but high 70s-low 80s is still pretty bad for boost disabled. This was on turbo mode right? If so, you might as well open up the back cover and remove those pesky plastic films covering the vents. That should drop your CPU and GPU temps aswell to a good amount. If the temps are still about the same, then a repaste is definitely needed. You of course don’t have to do all of this, as it seems you are a casual user but if you are planning on keeping this for a while, this would definitely be recommended,
i hope you keep healty and passion on your channel Jarrod
happy Christmas and happy new year
Friends don't let friends be fanboys... Especially ASUS fanboys...
i just bought this model a month ago, and i have no REGRET at all! With the affordable price, i am getting all the good spec!
should i get this laptop bro ? people complaining about the blocked vents... but what you think?
@@xmprime4530 I would say depends on what u want.. for gaming laptop u cant expect got good vent ...unless u pay more.
I went with the M15 (when it was on Best Buy holiday sale) and I couldn't be happier. The 2070 is amazing (especially at this price point) and this has become a full desktop replacement for me (had to because literally my desktop died in a bad electrical surge.) The Thunderbolt support on the M15 is great, because I can always e-GPU this thing later on when the video card isn't up to snuff for future gaming. Also, I think the body design on the M15 is nicer (the prism effect is wonderful) and just overall.
I am quite certain that I would have bought the M15 even at full price. I don't think you can get a nicer combination of specs and build/design in this price range. Yes there is plenty of competition from Lenovo, MSI, etc. for specs around this price point, but the design on all of them leaves something to be desired. They all have just something a bit to garish that sticks out like a sore gamers thumb. The Zephyrus 2020 models can become a full work/play replacement for anyone design wise in my opinion. Last thing I want to do is bring some "gamer" laptop into a meeting with staff or clients and have people point out how "strange" my laptop looks. The M15 can really "stealth" mode the business world (maybe less so with the G14 because it's so white, but the G15 could pass as "business" as well.)
And man, the portability for a 15 inch laptop is unreal. Yes, you can go thinner and get a MacBook Pro, but then...you have a mac... I don't think anyone watching these videos is going to have a mac as their sole and primary computer (maybe a secondary machine if you're a baller) and also of course, gaming on a mac still blows (keep dreaming, right apple crew?) and also Apple needs to keep working on their thermals.
To make a very overly long comment short. Get the M15 instead.
I would buy if i could find a cheap one in U.K., only with 4k and cost 2000 pounds. ANy problems with the M15?
honestly great comment lol. but i just now am aware of the M15! looks amazing! and better than G15. sadly I already bought the G15 today.....I'm sure I'll be satisfied as it is a big upgrade from my Dell Inspiron 15 7000 gaming. I guess i was so obsessed with the 8 core ryzen cpu from AMD, that thats all i was looking for in a laptop. lol oh well.
In Canada the G15 is currently sailing for 1599 cad and the M15 costs at least 2600 cad, what’s worse is that for 2600 cad it only comes with a 1660ti.
I've been in market for a thin and light for awhile, Asus almost had me on this one, I've had eyes on a 2070 Blade 15 Base for around a price of a MSI GS66. I live in EU so I can't get this RTX 2060 Model anyway. Nice video!
Really good review, but I'm kind of debating whether I should get the Helios 300, Zephyrus G15, Legion 5 or the Omen 15. I'm looking for good battery life too
That is my list too, except the Helios 300. Did you deceide on any of the laptops?
This review needs to be clarified in the title that its thr 2020 model. The 2021 model is more based on the g14 and compeltely redesigned. I almost skipped on buying the new model from this review until I realized.
That's a relief! I ordered the 2021 version of the G15 (GA503QR) it before seeing this video and was worried I made a terrible mistake.
So the 2021 model has the fans open?
i can see what they are doing with the airflow, but with how thin the laptop is, there will be a very limited amount of air that can be pushed through the space between the backplate and the motherboard. if the chassis was thicker I believe it might work. or even better, actually leaving vents underneath the fans so that they can take advantage of the airflow.
Honestly I bought this laptop and this is what I have to say - they are bashing the 144hz display - it's a good display, not bad at all, they are bashing the speakers - they are actually good. The plastic body doesn't feel like plastic at all imo, really sturdy, pretty slick, beautiful laptop overall. Yeah the fingerprints are there , that's true. The keyboard is really good, the trackpad I actually amazing compared to like 90% of other gaming laptops, maybe Razer's trackpad is one of these superior ones, but I can't think of anything else ,maybe g14. So okay, performance is superb - Ryzen 9 and rtx 2060-max q - amazing combo brothers. I've tried everything to challenge this laptop - nothing did, I played Cyberpunk on maximum settings and got above 60 FPS. Thermals - it gets bashed and smashed about its thermals,buuuut - I disabled boost, used a cooling pad an viola - between 55 and 75 degrees. Nothing unfixable. This Is a great laptop. Everybody is praising the G14 which is literally the same shit, thermals - same problems, performance - same, display - for me it's the same,same goes for the speakers. I am saying this because I have tested and can play with a G14 too. It's not something I didn't double-check. And you are going to say the benchmarks show, bruhhhh believe me I raped this laptop and it performs amazingly under pressure. I just don't get why g15 is so underrated and all the reviewers are bashing it , while praising the G14, which performs comparable, but got this basically useless second screen and it's made out of aluminium alloy,which I aggree- it's nice, but g15 deserves more acknowledgment - it's an amazing laptop. I was wondering should I just buy the g14, just as my brother did but I just said fuck it and bought g15 -i adore it. Honestly I would throw my msi leopard out if the window for this laptop.
I was REALLY hesitating on buying this bc of thermals but that's a thing with laptops and your comment destroyed my hesitation and gave me confidence. I would just have to figure out how to disable boost. I like the Cooler Master Notepal X-Slim, hopefully it would compare similar to yours. I was seeing so many reviews against the G15, but a few still for it, I was put off until I read your comment. Right now at this moment I'm rocking a Asus G15DH RoG Strix tower, with Ryzen 5 3600x, RTX 2060 Super 8gb, 32GB ram (came with 1 stick of 16), 512 SSD Boot, 1TB Games. Honestly though when comparing my PC to this, the screen blows my 75hz acer out the window. The CPU's go head to head, blow per blow, the laptop CPU actually stacks up really well against my desktop and even out performs it in Octa core, when looking at the userbenchmark website. GPU, well the laptop version will always be weaker than the desktop BUTTTT this RTX 2060 mobile rocks and out does any AAA title. Linus showed that the GTX 1060 is the most common card used, devs and Steam wants people to buy games and not everyone has a great gpu. Battlefield 2042 recommended specs are weak af, so yeah this RTX 2060 will blow anything out of the water, I don't need my RTX 2060 Super OC and I super don't need a 30 series card. I don't NEED 32 gb of ram, just wanted to get dual channel in my rig. The reason I'm going from desktop to laptop is because when I can customize something (like my 2016 Yamaha R6), I won't stop, even if my money is limited. I'll buy every damn mod, look up every damn mod I can, for hours on end. With a laptop, it's all set and I can just get on with my life. Also it would be nice to game somewhere else than my office, like the couch where my family might see me more often and at buddies places now that covid is less strict. Sure I can't upgrade it much compared to the PC but honestly, I'd spend $1500 in 4 years on all tower upgrades anyways. Sorry for my long comment. We're alike boss! Which cooling pad do you have? 38977255 is my Steam friend code. Honestly not many ppl will make it to the bottom of this novel so I'm not worried lol.
thanks for this in depth review brother
Man i was looking forward to this laptop at the beginning of the year/end 2019 so much, and they managed to f*** it up so spectacularly. I had to wait 10months to finally get the legion 5 due to exclusivity of asus at the beginning+supply problems, but.. i guess all's well that ends well - in the end saved quite a bit due to the sale.
yeah i saw "first ryzen gaming laptop" back in 2019 with the fx505....ASUS exclusive RYZEN LAPTOP FOR GAMING bs....goes to show how long theyve been tinkering with selling a laptop that just barely functions enough to boot.....and game at 90c while stuttering/throttling. IT was hot garbage NGL. Same shite panel as the g14 too ironically
im using the g15 ryzen 4800hs with gtx 1660 ti max q version for 3 months, and i feel quite satisfied with its performance (no thermals throtling). however, the cpu temp quite high and im going to open the vents after the warranty expired
Now you r open the fan block?
Why did you stop giving timestamps..?
I guess it's okay cuz people only watch the some part.. So yeah
I didn't, I just never started adding them to full reviews because it seems weird to timestamp down so granular as sometimes I talk about one thing for 5 seconds before moving on.
@@JarrodsTech okay and thanks for the reply ❤
I don’t see how your fans are audible when idling. You probably just did a stress test before and it still required cooling from that, when I am in silent mode I hear absolutely nothing at all when idling or doing light work like browsing or watching youtube
I agree with the points but as a secondary machine just for in bed gaming and chilling it is a decent machine. If it was my only PC I would definitely have a problem. Pissed I got it before they announced the new ones with the egpu stuff.
Honestly, only very few ryzen laptops are winners. Legion 5 owner here
My Dell G5 SE destroys all!!
Legion 5 owner here too. Btw 5i 🥴🥴🥴
@@tytlyf yeah. It melts other laptops by going over 100°C
@@garvrajput9983 Out of the box, but I like projects. Now mine destroys all!!!!!!!
I got my G14 with an October Mfg date for $860 at Best Buy open box. It was pristine. If I didn't find it, I would have gone with a Legion.
The port's aren't visible clearly... Please give enough lighting 😊
im probably going to buy a 5900hs 1tb 3070 at launch.....if it is too hot=return. IDC how much in demand they are the next sucker can have it if its avg 80-85c in "ALL GAMES" from AAA to 300+Fps shooters. As you know with me...ive tested the fx505 with 3750hx1660ti....and returned it and been on the fence with ryzen+laptop. For a long time....all while knowing its the inherent future of gaming laptops in this next 5 year window. Looking forward to reviews if they come out of the woodwork pre 2/15. My 5900x is already hard to get a temp reading outside of ryzen master...So idk if i can trust w.e BS suite ASUS offers for "VIABLE" cooling readings/fan curves/ and "profiles" as far as power output and cooling etc. A decent 1440p Panel really helped sweeten the deal Not going to lie. From a 120hz panel on the fx505 and my MSI.....which was like an instant FHD G-sync monitor purchase(just like the G14 KEK)....The price difference of buying up into a Helios 300...which was essentially the choice....a helios 300 or a "budget" option +monitor. Considering the tariffs on the now insanely priced 3080 which i was trying to hunt/trade into....the problem of gaming on 60fps 4k will not be solved...which is why i never got a 4k display to start with. The 3070 should be perfect for the 1440p panel and my 1440p ultrawide monitor. I REALLY hope it can cool im guessing it will be a 115w max 3070 if not
Where I live the M15 with 1660ti is $1640, the one with the rtx2070 is $1720. Meanwhile the g15 is around $1250. Considering the price difference and availability, the M15 is really not worth it compared to the G15, so, I’ve gotten myself one and to be fair I’m really happy with the choice I’ve made
Great review thanks!
What's the difference between asus rog and asus Zephyrus
Hey Jarrod, did you try to disable CPU boost or switch it to "aggressive efficient" which allows boost only when CPU load reaches 60%? The CPU is bottle necked by the GPU, and it seems when the GPU load reaches 100% the cpu tries to push further. when you disable the boost or turn it to aggressive efficient you get a drop of 20-25°C. I have the G14 and I used to have ~95°C CPU temp while gaming. Now, I get a max of 68-69 °C after 2h of Apex legends. Disabling the boost also causes the fan noise to drop since the components do not run that hot anymore.
Good detailed review 👍
Have you tried disabling the boost like most of the G14/G15 subreddit community recommends? That's what I've done on my G15 and though I haven't benchmarked anything frame rates feel decent enough in Silent Mode with low fan noise and temperatures closer to the 70s. I haven't seen the GPU clock speed capped to 300 on Silent like you did once I disabled boost either.
I definitely wish I'd have bought a different vendor than Asus, but I have to admit the FN+Fan hotkey for easily changing speed modes is incredibly convenient. Does every gaming laptop have an easy shortcut to change performance modes? Asus G15 has Silent>Performance>Turbo but I always just use silent, the lower FPS does suck hard though.
Big fail by asus for this laptop. If it costs $999 or lower, it might be a better buy, but because they want their other laptops with similar chassis like the M15 and S15 to be their high end laptop, they definitely bump the specs down for the G15 to make it seem worse
Are you planning to do a test on the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i?
Which is the best laptop for $1200-$1300?
Is it worth buying a gaming laptop right now, or do you think it's worth it to wait 3-6 months? The GE66 seems like a great performer, but not sure if some new architecture is right around the corner.
Hi jarrod, i will buy a laptop tonight but i couldnt choose one of these two models: Msi Prestige 15 i7 1185G7 Gtx 1650ti 60hz model or Msi GL 65 Leopard i7 10750H Gtx 1660ti 144hz. I am going to study engineering and i want to use 5+ years. My main purpose is not gaming but i like games too. Which one i should go? Thanks
Prestige has 90W power brick and lepard has 180. I wonder 90 isnt enough
Imagine getting 3rd degree burns from your laptop
I don't have to imagine it 😎

Great vid! But I'd say its better to compare with other devices not on sale price.
I'm looking at the new Zephyrus G15. Any thoughts on that? I am so confused by the Zephyrus and Strix options but thw G15 Zephyrus with the 5900HS and 3080 looks really good.
Great Video Jarred! Quick question, would you consider this over the Razer Blade 15 2021 3070rtx? I know it is a bit morr expensive but that it isn't a problem personally. My biggest concern is overall reliability because there is not Zero support from Asus and Razer in my country. Basically, someone is buying the laptop from USA and bring it to my country. So, I won't be able to return it neither. I am looking for a very solid and reliable gaming laptop mostly for work and some single player gaming like GTA V and maybe Cyberpunk. I would really appreciate your opinion. Thank you
Honestly temps seems pretty bad. Wonder if it would be better if those heat vents weren't blocked.
Thank you for just getting straight to the point 🙏
No problem, thanks for watching
The only reason to get this laptop because it’s actually widely available in the 2060 MaxQ config, while the AMD Legion 5.... is only available upto the GTX 1650 ti in many countries. This is why Asus continues to be the most profitable gaming laptop manufacturer, their supply is amazing. It’s a virtuous cycle really.
HP has stepped up in this aspect this year to be honest.

G15 is Trash tbh.... Especially All Ryzen Asus Laptops are overpriced here... G14 with Ryzen 9 costs more than 1.5L which is super overpriced... Omen 15,Helios 300,Nitro 5 2020 and Legion 5Pi are the only Good Laptops that are well priced here
@@razor_turbo_0072 eh G14 isnt great either, but yeah, performancewise too, omen is better.
Thanks for the review. May i know if it have the fingerprint unlock feature?
I’m not really in to gaming. Sometime a bit of LoL, OSRS, GTA 5 or CoD is enough. The thinness is good for me with a decent battery life for study. 2KG is my max. I first thought I’d go for the DELL XPS but this one is 400 euro cheaper, so i’ll get this one.
Thank you very much for the review. All in all would you recommend it for 3d Animation.
Which is better Acer Nitro 5 or Asus TUF A15??
so for anyone still curious in getting this laptop, don't its screen is horrible and the laptop fans are at max almost every second. and if you still want too, go with the 2021 model i heard its a lot better
You should retest it without the vent covers
He mostly reviews it on the viewpoint of an average users whom usually would not remove it for fear of void the warranty. We often use a laptop for years afterall.
@@odinstorm17 you can order another back cover on asus-accesories and just remove the vent covers from it.
Interested in the 5900HS rtx 3070 model. You get one of those yet?
Gonna bump this comment as I want the 3080 model
same im gonna buy one if it cools poorly and gets LOUD AF at full tilt fans(which ive tolerated other asus, omens, msi)....ill just return it to bestbuy and probably call it a day. Kinda on teh fence about selling my 5900x 3070 strix system prior though..bc i dont wanna be SOL if the laptop is HOT af and runs like zen2....at best due to throttling and low core clocks. The 1440p and spec list is quite epic ngl
Update: I went for a 3080 SCAR 15 instead.
£100 more for a more decked out laptop with less restraints is a no-brainer, though that's because I personally won't need to rely on the shorter battery life. Worth checking for alternatives to your specific models.
Do you recommend external cooling fans for laptops? Please reply.
I can’t decide between this or the acer Helios 300
right !!!! every one loves the predator. but I'm hearing that the 3070 m15 is the sweet spot
As an architecture student, any laptop without a numberpad doesnt sit well with me
Make Air vents above fans to cheak any improvement in thermal performance.
There are a few laptops which draw in air through the keyboard. I know the G14 does, so this should as well
The same company that making g14 with same gpu and cpu but worst result because of cooling. shame on you asus and thank you Jarrod for great review.
Whats the point of RTX 2060 when it's clocked at just 65W. It's performing poorer than a 1660TI 80W.
bought this laptop for a UBER price of 1500 euros. I liked the design and I tested the Legion 5 but the legion 5 is to clumpy because I need a laptop where I can do video edits play some games and do home office on a regular basis. I decided to buy the g14 instead and save 650 euros. Thanks for the video
What i need thunderbolt 3 ???????
If i use usb type c as (displayport , connect to the nvidia gpu and charging the e laptop)
how do you not know that AMD cannot support thunderbolt inherently due to categorical fact. While being able to essentially function the same(technically better) once usb4/type-c interface is standardized....unfortunately....in q1 2021 USB4 is not a thing with ryzen laptops sadly. Now the flagship zeph with 5900hx comes with an external 3080 that has some connector that can support the bandwidth outside of TB3
Good day sir.. I just bought my asus g15 but the armoury crate button wont work.. Should i download the software and where should i download it?
theyre all a lil contingent with software/windows updates and versions. Hell even chipset/bios updates. but guess what it can lead to problems XD.
which are the differents between this model (G15) vs M15?
Im so confused about what gaming laptop to get, in my place theres only asus service center for gaming laptop and thats one hour ride. (Its not in my town rather in a city thats one hour away from my town). Whats the best asus gaming laptop u recommend ? I want a very long term investment. Why not get a pc ? Well, its much more expensive than gaming laptop in my country, and thats just the pc, not including the very expensive 4k monitor.
I think better u care about which laptop has got great/best cooling system rather than service center..I have hp omen 15 amd varient,it's great..I was about to buy g14,but then I felt 14 inch is too small also with issues with temp management..better go with lenovo or hp?!
@@vivekv2369 cooling is important but service center as well. Not everyone understand what inside the tech, i understand the basic, but not the so complicated programs and systems.
@@WiliantoMulti well you can get a G14. Good cooling and only 1 hour ride to the service center. But if 14" is too small, then get an M15. It is running intel sadly, but it has better thermal than the G15.
@@WiliantoMulti and how long do you think you'll be using it? I assume more than 3 years? If that so then I suggest you wait for the next gen laptop. But if it's around 2 years, then maybe get G14.
It might be smaller, but it makes it more compact, and with an aluminum build, it'll last long.
@@cayde7494 yeah i think ill just have to wait.
Can you tell me which cooling pad do you use please? Thank you.
thank you jarrod!
It is quite unusual for using the hdmi to connect to integrated gfx, and the type c to the discrete one. I have seen many of them both connecting to the nvidia or amd gpu, but I don't know what asus is doing.
i love the laptop, is fine fore work and cat drawing
Cat drawing?

Please make a video on rog zephyrus s17
my 2016 tecra i5 4210M is jealous of everything except the lack of numpad 😂
Which would you recommend? The asus m15 or asus g15
G15 would be the better option
Can you compare it with zephyrus g15 rtx 3080 and see whether it's worth it to buy the 3080 one with additional 500-700 usd?
I heard that the vram of both 3070 amd 3080 are equal which is 8gb vram. So some say 3070 is preferrable in terms of value? But on the other hand, it's 3080 for a reason as it's definitely much more powerful. What do you think about it?
There is a CPU temperature fix for this. You need to go to registry editor and then there would be a setting for disable CPU boost. It helped the overall temperatures to be much lower for me. I never crossed 82-83 while playing Rdr2 ( both cpu, gpu )

I used to want this laptop, but I got Legion 7i instead, and now I have an ongoing anxiety about 7i's hinge
Sooooo how is the hinge?
Legion 5 and Omen are on top right now
Hi JT, Can you review between HP OMEN 15 (2020) vs Asus Rog zephyrus G15
Get the Omen, I wish I did.
@@vvvios Mee too
The idea with the blocked vents is to cripple AMD based laptops.
I have a question, if i want to upgrade the RAM for a gaming laptop, is it really necessary to buy the same RAM speed or brand? So do I buy 2 new sticks or just 1?
Just one ... Make sure it's of the same speed and CAS latency ... That's all ....
@@saptarshimukherjee7701 no
If you opt for 16 gigs of ram, get 2 sticks of 8gb
@@GanAirf I have omen 15 with r5 4600H ... It came with 8gb of Samsung 3200 MHz CL 22 memory ... I bought another 8gb stick of same specifications from Adata and it works like a charm... And it's not just me ... Many others have done the same ... So I can say confidently that it will work ...
@@saptarshimukherjee7701 um, you said get 1 stick of ram? If you have a stick from before, it's fine then
Come to think about it, JT, what happens if you stress test a laptop and keep it at that state until the laptop breaks? How long would it last?
this laptop is on sale for 1600 aud on amazon. Would you say this laptop is worth it at that price? I need something i can bring to school everyday and do medium to light games, such as csgo and valorant.
Buy either Omen or Legion, both have superior cooling/temps.
A 2060 max q doesn't need a 240hz panel. It barely can take advantage of a 144hz.
Except ASUS installs garbage 15 ms 144 Hz screens with 50% sRGB gamut into their laptops
@@saxtremer I agree with that also...they need a decent 144hz screen option.
@@evenbetterthantherealthing92 I hate it because most 144 Hz screens are actually decent but there is ASUS and likes who manage to find garbage on the market and sell it in their laptops. And it's literally impossible to find out the specifications/display model before buying the machine.
Which laptop is best to buy jarrod I want the best rtx laptop should I wait for next year or buy this year
At this point unless you need something immediately might as well wait and see what gets announced at CES in January.
@@JarrodsTechis it possible to bind rtx 3090 to Dell alienware 51m what would be the possibility of rtx 3090 laptop.2021
Hey jarrod can u tell me the type of those base panel screws?So i can order them.Some of mine went missing...
I have this laptop, is that a bad laptop ? :(
What is your top laptops for this year?
I did a whole video on that topic recently :)
Blocking vents sound pretty crew to me
please please please could u compare zephyrus G15 vs hp omen 15 (i m so confused) :(
Obviously the coolest laptop Omen 15
Overall comparison between this laptop and the msi gl65 leopard 10SEK, which one is better ?
The legion 5 is basically Lenovo saying "okay, we're not pulling any brainless $h!t here, take it or leave it"
Thank you Jarrod. I have a question about Overdrive. The Legion 5 has the same thing, and it reduces response time, like this does. My question is: is there any reason to NOT enable that, if you don't care about response time? If not, why is it even an option?
IMO its for FPS shooters competitive ones where youre hitting 240fps/240hz etc(typically not even using max settings) like in the new g15....If you play any AAA title where youre FPS is 60-120 or so typically....(in laptops even less than 120fps avg) for AAA games.....youll notice overshoot/ghosting/antighosting/halos etc....so youd want to turn it off and run a 6-10ms or w.e and it wont be TERRIBLE....trust me it will look awful in any immersive game like FC5, red dead etc....foliage will be intertwined due to the overdrive this is more or less common knowledge....still nice we can enable/disable it etc...vs past eras where some of these aspects were locked features....it can also be just downright epic fail if the low 3ms or etc is only common near the crosshair/center of the monitor with the corners or edges suffering from adequate backlight capabillity which leads to equally bad times where edges are rendered at 5-12ms....and the center is 3ms...
Rog should retain this unique sleek design for their top GPUs
The current situation of ROG 2022 labtops are not my liking
Under $1500 which gaming machine is best please suggest me 🙏🏻
I'm confusion about legion 5 pro, ROG Zephyrus G 15.
Is there is any other laptop which is best under $1500 plz suggest me ❤❤
I better wait for the next gen with those benchmarks. Looks like any current laptop has a year lifetime tops.
You need to put a note that this laptop just got refreshed so this review is pretty useless or at least title the video that it's the 2020 model not the 2021
where can i find this info i alwys likes asus but the heat isssues with this device scared me i do not want to buy a faulty device. in holland i can get the rtx 2060 qmax model but i do not know if this is a 2021 model
@@mrsuri33 The 2021 model has the RTX 3070. If you're buying a laptop with a 20 series GPU and 2021 then you're getting a bad deal
Thank you so much for this OMG !!! This video is so misleading ... outrageous reviewing last year model in the new year without any disclaimers or specifying !!! INFURIATING
Bought this few days back.. If I open and install another 1TB SSD, will it void my warranty.? Unfortunately I couldn't find any answers from asus support..
This laptop is not good , I bought it and after 1 month the CPU fan started making a lot of noise like something was stuck there, I opened up the back and cleaned it because I thought it was dust. But it still kept making noise, then it started throttling and I couldn't find where to turn that off. It gets way to hot like 90 degrees Celsius in like 15 minutes of gaming (I mostly play apex). All in all I would tell you to avoid this laptop. Am not the only one with these problems, multiple people on reddit had the same issues. Asus customer service is terrible, thank God I bought it from best buy, where when I went to them, they took it and sent it to Asus and am still awaiting, its been 4 weeks.
I have the same macchine but I don't see the Panel Overdrive option as mentioned in 0:55. Maybe I don't have the correct drivers?
Do you review Asus Rog zephyrus pro duo with rtx 3080/ryzen 9 5950hx?
It launched already?
@@EliteReviews Where?
@@ahmetoyunbros3402 I'm asking
Its not out yet 🤦♂️
@@quyrew I know
“How to neft AMD”
“BLOCKING VENTS”
It really backfired, putting mesh over the cooling vents.
I guess I didn't test with and without so I can't technically say, and ASUS are standing by this way apparently being better.
It's not even mesh, it's a full blown vent block
Theoretically the Zephyrus G15 should be faster than the Zephyrus G14 since it has a larger cooler.
Doesn't this have a rtx 3080??
I dont understand why the 1660 ti, is better than 2060?
