      Amazing review, Stephen, as always. I would recommend putting the battery life on a graph just so we would easily compare to the other laptops you reviewed under normal testing conditions (youtube playback or web browsing etc), though I know you said it in the video

    We must have the exact same taste in laptops. I bought the GE66 recently without realizing how close the new generation was. I was on the fence about returning it and moving to the G15 to better suit my needs and you have confirmed everything I hoped was true. I've now placed my order with full confidence that I'm making the right choice. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your reviews. It really shows.

I only ask because I watched your alienware review and you are the only one that I have seen that has had both laptops in their possession, my g15 is still being shipped but I have an m15 r3 only desk at the moment. I'm hoping the g15 is as tolerable or more quiet than this m15 on balanced. I will definetely be getting some of that cool merchandise you got posted now. I've always noticed on every alienware has a higher pitch sound to their fans.

    I did end up pulling the trigger on this one. I preordered from Best Buy. I did have an issue with the first one. The audio never worked. I was lucky and able to go to my local best buy and they had 1 in stock I exchanged for. This laptop is a DREAM. The performance is just simply insane. I do game when I travel and I normally take my Alienware 51m with a 9900k and 2070 it. This laptop seems to keep up and beat it in a lot of ways. Which is insane considering the Alienware has a desktop CPU. I am a traveling software engineer and do a lot of work on airplanes and hotel rooms. Normally, I would do the work when I am on the road but would wait to compile and push till I got home and used my desktop. This laptop can handle it without much loss of time! It just blows my mind. The same project took almost 20 min on the Alienware, took less than 8 on this.

      It's not that hard, scar g15 is thicker and a little bigger but it probably has better performance and the Zephyrus g15 is thinner making it more portable and slicker at the cost of some performance.

    • @criscringle6627
      @criscringle6627 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      If one of my friends were contemplating the same thing, I’d tell them to just get the Zephyrus G15. The CPU and GPU wattage are the same on both, so you’re not losing out on performance (you can see in this review that there’s plenty of headroom on cooling in this chassis). It’s smaller and lighter with no hit to performance nor battery life. The only thing you’d be lacking would be in the LED department (per-key lighting and the LED strip in the front/sides), which loses its novelty very quickly. And lastly, you’ll come to find weight and size to be a much bigger consideration when you have to actually tote the thing around, fit it into a backpack, make room for it on a desk, on your lap, etc.
      Hope that helps!

  • @TabalugaDragon
    @TabalugaDragon 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The video port going via intergrated GPU is actually incredibly convinient for people who connect and disconnect external monitor very often.
    Because if you connect an external monitor via a port which does via Nvidia GPU the system becomes stuttery and unpleasant to use, especially noticeable in games; this is only fixed with a complete reboot. Another bad thing happens if that when you disconnect external display for the laptop a GPU stays on and drains the power almost twice as fast compared to just integrated graphics. Again, fixed with a reboot or disabling Nvidia graphics manually in the device manager.
    I do a lot of 24\7 rendering and can't just pause or progress will be lost, so rebooting is not an option. I can't fully express my frustration when I got a laptop with only discrete GPU port and had to either suffer from stutters or lose my rendering process, as well as all other programs and files that I kept open, every single time. Could this be just my Dell laptop? Nope, my friend with an MSI raider laptop tried connecting his laptop to an external monitor, and until he rebooted it the stutters were even worse, it was pretty much unusable.
    Which is why I'm gonna make pretty damn sure that my next laptop supports video out with integrated GPU, even if I have to lose some performance in a few games, at least I'll enjoy stable and smooth experience and won't sacrifice battery life on the go.

Although the ASUS ROG STRIX 17" has a pretty good lead in performance to the Alienware m17 R3 2070S it's 20% at most over it and is in a considerably larger footprint compared to the m17. The main advantage is that Ryzen 9 5900HS which has better performance per watt and better temps (I control mine on demanding games through undervolt and capping TDP to 45W while gaming and using Cool mode on really demanding games with an OC on the GPU to compensate).
