  • 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?

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.

I only went razer blade as I wanted the extra cores to play around with VMs, but otherwise, this would have been top of my list, especially with that screen and the power to weight ratio being so favorable.

  • I was really looking forward to this laptop and immediately ordered the 4090 model. However i ended up very disappointed. The 4090 provided equal - sometimes inferior - performance compared to my friends strix 4080 in terms of average FPS. The fans are very loud and don't expect to game on your lap as it gets very hot. I'm not sure if my product was defect, but it showed alot of issues such as excessive blooming on dark backgrounds (windows dark mode) and problems with starting the laptop while charging, more often then not requiring forced shutdowns. I read simular posts on reddit regarding poor quality control. I ultimately ended up returning the product.

  • Thanks for the review Jarrod. This laptop generally looks awesome, however it's quite disappointing to learn that even with 3 fans, the temps don't appear to be as good as I expected. 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)?

    • The GPU seems to be fine, it’s the CPU that could be helped by a little underclock. Shouldn’t tank perf too much.

  • Hey Jarrod I dont know if you will see this but what setting did you have to get that type of battery life? ive tried a lot of setting including silent mode with advanced optimus on, lowest brightness possible and bareley got 2 hours. Also is there any power banks you reccomend to get more casual use while on battery. not gaming just typical web use or college work?

  • 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.

  • Hey Jarrod, so you’re saying the stock 16GB RAM is not soldered on? Meaning I can swap it? I was told the max you can add is a 32GB stick in the other slot, maxing out at 48GB total… but I also heard this asymmetrical combination has diminishing returns

  • 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

  • Just got my hands on a Zephyrus G16(i9-13900 4060) a few days ago and with it using last year's M16 chasis(and this year's minor changes) i think its a better value for money considering I just lose out mainly on the 4070 and also mini led screen. I don't plan to have more than 32gb of RAM so with it soldered or not doesn't really bother me for me and although I haven't personally experienced the mini led screen yet but the G16's QHD 240hz screen is already pretty impressive to me. Pretty happy with my purchase so far.

    • ​@@aybaws Just finished an hour's session of Honkai Star Rail - HSR (pretty graphic intensive) at highest settings (i think?) so I can answer you on this, though its all very subjective hahahaha Didn't check the actual numbers, but its quite hot to the touch at the top part of the body (basically above the F1-F12 part), but its fine because most of the time the fingers are going to be rested on the keys itself or in between the keys, it doesn't feel hot, at most warm on the keys. For the fan noise its pretty much as loud as how Jarrod tested the M16 in this review, its a bit of a sharp kind of noise, something similar to 12.35-12.37 (47-48db) portion of the video, same kind of noise at all levels just at different loudness. It can get pretty darn loud at max fan speed (tried by maxing out in manual mode) but while i'm playing HSR under optimized mode performance mode it sounds like around 47db-48db (judging based on this review), pretty standard and acceptable kind of noise I think. For comparison, gaming on Monster Hunter Rise (the first game I tried) on Max Settings 1440p 120fps capped was nowhere as warm and loud compared to HSR, probably around 60-70% max as warm. I thought it would be quite heavy on the laptop (coming from 2060) but it just felt like no sweat at all. As for normal use out of gaming, (browsing, movie, spreadsheet etc) couldn't hear any fan noise 90% of the time, minimal at most if any, and also just slightly warm to touch at most if you touch the areas out of the keyboard. This is the part where i'm the most satisfied with the G16 because my old laptop has fan noise all the time , even just by turning it on. Just to mention, one thing that happened to me was the bottom right corner of the body (where we rest our palm to the right of the touchpad) felt very warm even on idle because I installed an old, probably low quality SSD on the second SSD slot, according to crystal disk info the temperature of the SSD went up to 70'C while the stock SSD was only around 50'C. This should be the problem of the particular SSD stick because i replaced with it with another spare one i had around and didn't have that issue anymore.

    • @@aybaws Glad I could help, I was in a dilemma too because there isn't many reviews yet for the 2023 Zephyrus lineups, especially for the 16 inch ones. My concern was more on battery life, for the first 2023 releases it doesn't seem like there is any AMD for the Zephyrus, and I was quite skeptical for intel's battery life, as Jarrod always reminds us of it in his battery tests. But I ended up deciding to take the leap of faith for the 4000 series' frame gen and DLSS 3. Still waiting to see Jarrod's review on the Zephyrus G16 though, to see if its any different from my experience 😛
