  • The ROG Zephyrus M16 is typically one of the best gaming laptops if you care about thin and light gaming performance. It was even better than the Blade 16. But now with an RTX 4090 laptop GPU affecting the ROG M16 price, things start to get a little less interesting and much more expensive.

    I just bought this laptop and there are some misinformation in this video, that I want to clear up.
    1 - you don't need to remove the rubber feet of the laptop to access inside. there are holes punched on that feet if you look closely. you just have to remove the silicon from the holes to access the screws.
    2 - battery life is far better than shown here, I was able to get 8 hours of video playback on youtube on silent mode, with brightness set to %70 and audio turned down.
    3 - about the wattages, I don't know why it's shown as 105W max here, but the asus armoury crate app shows 150w for the TGP. which nets you around 120w for gpu usually.

    The "M" monicker for mobile GPUs needs to come back. There is so much confusion about these parts from people who don't follow up on the technical specs of these products. There are still people that I've heard irl who believe that the mobile 4090 part is the same as the desktop part🤦‍♂
    This is exactly what Nvidia's marketing division wants.

      Even the ''m'' moniker wont save it.
      The 980m was 30% slower than the desktop 980. The 4090 mobile is 50% slower.
      Nah, we need these things to be named 1 tier down. Like its meant to be. The 4090 needs to be a 4080, 4080 a 4070, etc.
      Oh wait. People will realize that nvidia's selling them a 4070 for $2500+. And the nvidoa can put desktop gpus in laptops, but wont charge you reasonable prices. Hell they even lowered the max tdp from 200w during turing to now 150w. Dynamic boost means jack shit.

    • @cemsengul16
      @cemsengul16 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I propose they name the mobile part with the desktop equivalent in performance. For example a 3080 max q 16 GB is on par with a desktop 3060 TI. They should name such a product a 3060 TI laptop and people would have realistic expectations and make more informed purchases. Of course Nvidia will never do that because it will hurt their bottom line.

      @@siyzerix I agree. The RTX 4090 mobile is literally a heavily clocked down RTX 4080 . They use the same AD103 die and slightly slower memory. Had they called it a 4080, it would have been technically correct. It is just an excuse to upsell their products. Pascal and Turing had much better parity between mobile and desktop. Pascal especially.

    The issue is Nvidia raised the prices while adding a new GPU tier (XX90) to the laptop GPU hierarchy.
    In the process of doing so, they neutered the lower-tier cards as a result by making the expensive 4080/4090 be the only worthwhile upgrade.
    Laptops with the 4060/4070 are priced more affordably, but it doesn't mean much when they are struggling to beat a $1400 3070Ti laptop in the US.

      It doesnt make sense to compare same prices of 3070 vs 4070, if its next gen yet almost same performance. 3070 owner must look at 4080.

    FOr some reason I much prefer the look of the m16 this year, despite usually being a big razer fan. The new thicker chassis they went with really puts me off.
    I'm really curious how you think the 4080 version of this laptop will do, since it seems to have the same max TGP as the 4090 model.
    I'm hoping the 4080 versions of the rog and the razer will be closer to each other than the 4090 version, since there wont be as much of a need for the higher power and cooling.
    But no one seems to have benched the m16 4080 yet..

    I don't think you need to remove the whole rubber feet to get access to those 2 screw drivers. There are two caps in the rubber feet. But from what's shown in the video the whole rubber feet seems to be up side down so those caps are not covering the screws and you have to remove the whole rubber feet.

    Yes, I heavily use the rj45 Lan port to connect to different devices even though wifi adapters have become stronger it doesn't justify removal of the lan port. For example. I transfer games to ps4 or movies to other lan connected media storage devices on lan network. It helps alot if you connect to older technology. Whole lot of other systems use the lan port for accessibility.

I’m stuck between deciding on getting another 16GB stick for a total of 32GB or get a 32GB stick to bring it up to a total of 48GB. I don’t fully understand the duel and quad channel memories and wonder if having two mismatched RAM sticks (16GB + 32GB) would cause any performance issues? For reference, I do a lot of editing and casually game. The idea of having 48GB over 32GB sounds good, but again, not sure if there would be diminishing returns if they’re not matching. Thanks!

    I went to the mall earlier today in hopes of getting the Zephyrus G14. I wasn't sure if I wanted the 2022 version or wait for the 2023 version which comes with a 4000s series Nvidia GPU. But when I was there, the sales agent showed me the 2023 M16, and I was REALLY impressed by it. I almost bought it but I figured I should sleep on it and read more reviews about it... and now seeing your Battery Life performance, and also 4000 series overheating/fan nosie issue... I am not too sure. I was looking at the 4080 variant, not the 4090. Do you think the battery issue + overheating/fan noise unique to the 4090 variant? Or the 4080 likely suffers from the same issue?

      Also as a side note, I'm fine with the price increase for the base model since it's offering a 4070 versus a 3060, 240hz vs 165hz (which is debatably useful) and double the storage for $300 more; it's a higher tier and offers 3080-ish performance. But I think the main problem may be how cheap 30-series laptops are getting, especially with how high-power 3070Ti implementations seem to be pretty close to the 4070 without frame generation, and 3080 laptops can be found for under $2000.

    Always love your reviews. WiFi gaming's latency is just awful, both on average latency and especially peak latency on every routers that I've played with. Most routers companies don't focus on WiFi latency for gaming. I have a Zephyrus G14 (AMD version) with WiFi 6E, and paired with a NightHawk WiFi6, and I still experience latency issues every time I play online FPS games via WiFi. I did come across a lower cost Predator router on Amazon that works really well on WiFi gaming. I bought them for their avg 2ms latency claim to test (I assume it's probably under lab/clean environment setting). I got very similar latency as RJ45, so much so, I couldn't tell the differences between WiFi gaming vs hardwired for online gaming. I think Asus is in the forefront in choosing what feature to trade off. I think it also take new WiFi router OEMs to push the envelope to make RJ45 a thing of the past. I think as long as new router OEMs like Acer Predator pushes the market with better WiFi latency, combined with companies like Asus that fast forward the trade off, I think the day without RJ45 is coming. I'm super happy with my Zephyrus G14 with my Predator W6 gaming router.

Like you, I prefer hard wired, but Acer is opening up my mind to the potential of WiFi gaming.

But I would not have paid more than 2500.00 for same thing. As I have been toting about having the best screen ever put on a laptop, now I have the second best next to the new Asus zephyrus, lol. Whatever, as time goes by so does the quality of products, as the next best thing is just around the corner. I would have liked to see you put the specs of a 3080ti against the new 4090. And as it stands right now my 3080ti is better than the new 4070.

I immediately upgraded the RAM and SSD to 40GB and 2TB, both purchased on sale, and for around $1,000 this is a killer combination of portable and powerful.
