Republic of Gamers gamers here?
Yes
yup
Yep!
yup
Ya 😎
this evolution of gaming laptops has been crazy
Yup. Back in 2012 they were the same price as now and worse than low end pcs of the same era 😂
@@chrxs61632 yeah bro 😂
This is mega evolution
And also i hope the rtx 3080ti laptop gaming price will be cheaper
Si.
I love this laptop, however, unsurprisingly, the cooling is still an issue. Massive credit to ROG for being able to keep a 4090 cool enough to not go thermonuclear or something.
It’s a mobile variant, so probably even a desktop 2080 would outperform it
@@James-mp7lp this mobile 4090 outperforms a desktop rtx 3080 Ti
it's marketting BS keeping the same name, this is no where near as powerful as a desktop 4090

For a laptop with this kind of spec those temps are insanely good.. not sure what you are on about.
You are the greatest because you are playing the old games with new ones and on top of that you are showing the same combinations of settings that I wanted to see especially without frame generation on. Thank you
hm, ill upload if i encountered one
It always depends on what games you wanna play of course, but for many gamers out there new gaming laptops are actual desktop replacements. Real gaming wherever you are. I love it.
But will surely cost a lot than a new desktop.
@@skynight5524 it is getting closer. Desktop always means you need a keyboard and a monitor on top, maybe even a webcam and a sound system. You can have all that combined basically.
@@TheMirrorYouDeserve yes but desktops are still the undisputed king of upgrading. its way easier and cheaper to upgrade a desktop to stay current and up to date with modern gaming demands. you have to replace your entire laptop in most cases for an upgrade.
@@TheSpencer033 this argument will never end it will go on forever
Imagine buying this for almost $4000 and playing Peppa Pig!! LOL
Hey, when you have $4000, you can play anything you like.
Exactly what he said
if it really makes you feel bad, remember that in every video he uploads he buys a new knife to open the boxes XD
u can get the non scar version which is a 4080 mobile and ITS 2500 DOLLARS. it's a great deal
Gaming pc for 1500
This is not unboxing, this is art.
Unboxing and Art are different things. Unboxing means to open the package box, art means like to make something new rather than same old things.
@@christiansequentialartwork8202 ok and 🤓
@@christiansequentialartwork8202 This is new and he is putting effort and enjoying this, i call this art.

A true art
I'm still amazed by your gaming skills🤘
I like how with every new video he has a different but interesting knife that he only uses to open the box
This is so cool also congratulations on 9 million keep the streak up ❤
That laptop for traveling is everyone's dream. Greatings from Argentina.
Hell no i am not getting it
@@duck6966 You dont have to get anything. Move on!!!
I think its a nightmare with that size 😂😂. Having a bugatti pc is something awesome though
@@NamTran-xc2ip "What color is your bugatti" "RGB"
Oh my this looks amazing this for sure is well over what i need for pc gaming i need to get this
You really give me a serial killer vibe whenever you cut open a box with a big knife😮
RE really came up on KZhead, Remember his Zombie road to Shotgun rank videos all the way back when he use to talk LOL. Good to see you do this well. Props!
I can only see 0.05% of Americans wanting to spend a ridiculous $3,900.00 USD on a laptop like this. Laptops costing $4k are only good for showing but the most efficient ones and the best value for money tends to be laptops around $2,500.00 USD. I would imagine that the majority of Americans around 75% and up are okay with spending $500-$1,500 USD on a laptop. With inflation being high nowadays, more will be settling for cheaper laptops.
Forget about dollar, cost in Euro is literally scamming....
No, every 6 Years, i m spending 3500 to 4000 Euro for a Lappy. Live in Germany. That are round 650 Euro a year for gaming, thats ok.
$4k fast to get nowadays It takes less a couple week working
@@Jessica-caitlin you are very out of touch if you think 4k is something (most) people can just blow on a laptop of all things.
Think about it... I live in Hungary the minimum wage is in this country 200.000 HUF (552 USD) gross, it is approx. 140.000 HUF (386 USD) take-home pay. The VAT is here 27%, basically a laptop cost 20-30% more than in the USA or UK. I earn ~911 USD as a customer service represantive. Just the rent I pay monthly costs 469 USD + energy bills. On food there is also 27% tax, so it is also way more expensive than in Western Europe. I use a 8 years old Levovo laptop, because it would take me 10 years to spare money for such a gaming laptop lol.
I am very jealous of your new laptop!
i just saw the name "the relaxing end" and i remembered i used to watch your videos on cod zombie a loooong time ago hahaha . crazy how time goes by.
Beastly performance with loud fans
Damn everything went smooth Perfect 👌
That was really Incredible very high quality!
got my Rog Strix Scar III 17" Laptop with an 2070 Rtx since 3 years and i absolutely love it. I can play every game on very high and i take it wherever i go. Using it with an external mouse + extra gaming keyboard and for me its much better than a normal desktop pc. - in 2 Years i am gonna switch to the 4090 Scar with 18" and i am looking forward to it.
I love so much your videos unboxing😎
That's amazing! Always loved laptop technology. My laptop is Chinese off brand that has a broken screen. I took the whole screen off as getting it replaced is expensive. So now I just connect it to a monitor and it acts like a desktop lol Unfortunately newer laptops are just getting more and more expensive. As an international volunteer who pays for my own volunteering with my broken laptop, there's no way I can afford these kind of machines. Great video though! 😁👍
check out mid range laptops theres some decently priced 1650 laptops out there
Kinda surprised your game is running well! I've been hearing a lot of people talk about having the GTX 4090 and dealing with stutters and low FPS on Hogwarts Legacy.
Could depend on the area. With DLSS set to Performance and Frame Generation [ON] the experience was pretty smooth. I'm not sure how rest of the game performs tho.
*RTX
@@TheRelaxingEnd DLSS on performance AND frame generation? Yeah, obviously )))
@@TheRelaxingEnd I exactly agree with your statement
I still can't believe people haven't moved on from GTX name to RTX.
Gaming laptops are actually now worth getting. Portable with desktop performance. Took a long time to get here but super impressive
desktop>laptop
Not desktop actually, I believe it’s 30% decrease in performance from desktop to gaming laptop GPU
@@jazzprox8003 gtx 1660 ti desktop>rtx 3060 laptop laptops gaming sucks laptop it's made more for portability
@@PS50065 this laptop is like a 3090 ti
@@PS50065 idk how you got a GTx 1660 ti is not better than a 3060 Laptop
i swear, i have watched this multiple times. it is just so beautiful.
I was lucky enough to get an Asus Rog Strix Scar 17 with i9 and RTX 3070ti at £1900 and I have to say this Scar 18 has more then twice the power of my laptop. the evolution of gaming laptops are out of this world at this point. The price as well lmao
For £1700 on newegg i got a rtx 4080 hp Omen 17 w/ 175w TGP
This laptop can be ideal if you are a director, or producer of K-pop MVs or K-drama shows. I know BLACKPINK MVs have been produced with an extremely powerful computer in the process of its creation. For now, since I am a editor of existing K-pop MVs, and their audios, I don't need that laptop.
@@ainsleyfrastructurekpopmashups nobody cares
Yeah wtf is he talking about
I play minecraft rtx regularly, and I think the poor vsync implementation was getting in the way of performance at 7:35. I've found it to tank framerate significantly under certain circumstances, as evidenced by a low GPU usage
whats ur tips for getting high fps on minecraft?
@@sematarygraveman If you play 1.8.9 or below, then lunar client is probably your best option. Forge with patcher and tons of other performance mods also works for some people, but lunar is quite reliable. 1.12 and up, the sodium mods are your best bet afaik. Fabric has come a long way. And on a side note, this is quite the rare typeracist encounter, small world
@@sematarygraveman depends. If you're on bedrock/win10, just turn down all the settings for higher fps. If you're on java, for newer versions, use the iris or sodium mods to help.
Just wow. It's a really monster laptop
As the very happy owner of an MSI GT83V Titan, with an 18.4 inch screen, I am happy to see someone else also do a large laptop with modern parts. My MSI has an 8th gen 8850 and dual 1080s. Can't wait to see how this one stacks up. Nice to see that it only needs 1 power supply vs mine which needs 2.
bro 1080's can compete with 4090's ? its like a 3 generation gap
Bruhh thats msi titan so it can and it around 5k dollars
@@weebiyappa3333 Can bro compete with K2100M 2Gb 🤨
Bro has a portable desktop
Thanks for the video dude ❤.but about the games from where you downloaded them .
Lemme grab some popcorn for this masterpiece opening
Damn, this is one fine laptop I wish I had too.
Another thing is how good this man is at games like fr
So this is what my laptop will be like in 5 years, it's looks amazing but I think they now need to sort out the cooling especially with that cpu as them fans sounded loud
i love how much Asus Rog cares about making the unboxing a memory forever.
i opened my Strix G18 (RTX 4080) so fast that I didn't take adequate time to appreciate the packaging lol.
@@killerra congratulation on the new beast
@@killerra Congrats bro! Btw, anyone know good, low end games? I use an intel i3 11th gen laptop with iGPU
Same man lol, upgraded from a 1660ti laptop to a 4090. Quite a big upgrade. Especially the price lol
@@lordazurusch.9550 can i have that 1660ti? Just curious hehe
The relaxing end art style about unboxing is top notch. But I stay until the end because not only he has editing skill but he is among the best player out there

Came to see this catch on fire but can hear the fans working hard.
I'm surprised by the amount of patience he has
Your videos has so cool! ✔️
Watching this from another ROG gives a nice satisfaction
Justo Vi esa laptop y vive a ver si ya tenías ese vídeo 😃
Mom this laptop is important for my studies 🎁
Master piece laptop Made with piece of great art and creativity
The crazy part is i watch every one on his videos, even when i cant afford them, keep up the good work brother. It makes me feel taht i own something😂.
You get what you pay for. Amazing performance from a laptop. New games running over 100fps consistently. 🔥🔥
You don't get an actual 4090 it runs way worse than an actual one would.
i never understood getting a gaming laptop. 99% of gamers will just keep it at their desk, plugged in because the battery lasts 1 hour. it also sounds like an airplane
@@albertsain5140 there's one dude I know who's never home and always in his car or office so a laptop makes sense but 99 percent of people who buy gaming laptops deadass don't even move them
@@albertsain5140 you are hilariously wrong Modern gaming laptops like the Zephyrus G14 easily manage 8 hours of battery life and are utterly silent, and that G14 comes in RTX 4090 or Radeon RX 6800S

Fantastic performance.
i'm fk1n amazed with the cooling system in this laptop. CRAZY. Always at 80 degrees. 😍
We know ROG is not disappoint Company while releasing gadgets we know that every time they're going to release gadgets we already that would be beast and cool 🔥
I used own a asus rog strix g15 2019 model but due to heavy gaming, I've successfully destroyed the motherboard and gpu of this laptop.
@@WonZZY2003 same kinda, I had bad thermals and replaced the liquid metal for some thermal paste (didnt work) then liquid metal again and then it was shot and un-usable. I tried to rma the laptop and didnt get it back until I threatened to sue. I ultimately did not get it repaired because the repairs were quite expensive. Asus is kinda bullshit like everyone else
im gonna name my company 'disappoint company'
@@PhotoBomber you got me lol 😆
Wow, the CPU temp is better than a lot of desktops.
Wow I Neva see something before 🔥
Ahhhh, good for you! I bought a Strix G15, when I bought it was the banger!
gonna get one, because of my job, I'm only home a few days every 2-3 months. this is gonna be prefect
ive tried gaming laptops with rtx 3070 and it was great but not good enough to play on max settings. built a rx 7900 xtx rig and will buy a thin and light gaming laptop and it will be the best option for me personally. hardcore battleship at home and long battery life on the go.
Eu também tenho um com a RTX 3070. Ele até que aguenta rodar no ultra, mas em certos momentos em alguns jogos o FPS cai, e as vezes da uma travada ao carregar algo que ainda estar por vim. Mas se colocar tudo no alto, ele roda normal. Mas o ultra é irresistível kkkkk, eu sempre acabo colocando e convivendo com as quedas de FPS
What a monstrous gaming laptop
What foreign person
thanks you, outstanding unboxing... but it just brought back unpleasant memories, it just reminds me when i bought the alienware m18xr2 18" of 9.5kg back in 2012.... it was a pain to find a proper bag for it, take it with me when travel and very challenging to upgrade its parts. back them, it was an outstanding device. but i wont buy a huge sized gaming laptop.
Dream laptop can never be given too me.. nic3 vid.
Finally. First laptop can run Tetris. On minimal settings
The only unboxing videos I never skip
Excellente cette idée de déballage à 100% du produit, suivi de plusieurs tests de fonctionnalités, avec en + l'atmosphère quasi ASMR et ultra minimaliste grâce aux gants blanc & sans aucune parole. Très très bon concept, c'est bien pensé, bien ficelé. Très appréciable.
Oh un français, bonjour
@@samedyurt5683 Salutations!
2:56 that split enter key has me enraged. I hate working on laptops with such keys
I really hope there will be a 14th gen refresh of this machine with a proper keyboard for Nordic countries.
Rog is always so overkill (the good type of overkill)
Wow very best Laptop👍👍👍👍👍👍
honestly, i love this laptop gaming ,i just wanted one to try all games i always want to playing it
This type of gaming laptop is awesome
I've seen many brands with their gaming segment laptops such as Acer Nitro , Lenovo Legion , Hp Omen , MSI , etc. but ROG is at the top in my opinion
Alienware
@@aleksdeveloper698 they couldn't even give us mini led
@@aleksdeveloper698 Alienware only first 2 iterations were good quality, then Alienware turned into an overpriced laptop with budget build quality
Only the top high end models of ROG thats worth the money, the lower ROG variant always and i say ALWAYS more overpriced than other premium models like Legion from Lenovo or Predator from Acer with the same specs and even lower spec just for the ROG branding
er no mechanical kb, no led screen. I need both for this kind of money. The msi has these but with some ancient front facing webcam WHY ffs. Its no rocket science putting this shit together with decent cooling
very usefull video. tanks👏
Just a quick thing I have to mention, when you're playing CS:GO, the FPS will always sit at 400 or lower. To fix this go into the CS:GO console panel. (Press "`" to enable it. If it doesn't work you can enable it in the settings by just searching console.) And then type "fps_max 800". You can change the fps to whatever amount you like. Also if you type "net_graph 1" also in the console, you can see a list that says your FPS, PING and more. (Not CPU or GPU temperature though.) And one last thing, just remember to re-enter the FPS command every-time you re-launch the game and if you don't want the net graph, just do the same command with 0 instead of 1. ("net_graph 0")
This laptop is a monster
*Yes mom this is for studying*
Looks better than my pc buying one fsfs 💞
My favourate laptop if i get it bro i am gonna cry fr ill give my whole setup just to get it. It's Just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I advise to test these machines with a powerful Mmorpg game to know its performance capacity. If it can run one at 60fps it would be excellent.
Believe me, 60fps in an MMORPG is more than doable.
Ya llevo 1 año de ver a este tipo y sus videos me dejan muy exausto ya que puedo ver algo que quiero y muestra todo a detalle me encanta Relaxing End tienes muy buen contenido
Encima el hijo de fruta es re bueno jugando.
this is the best for sure .

why so hype. for laptops.I mean its pointless. like 3900 dollars for this. One, two, three max years. No man forget it. No upgradability, no modularity no customizability, just more mobile. But who f*cking hardcore gamer needs portability. I dont understand.

I like these unboxings way more, because you actually play the games. It doesn' t do much, if you only show the numbers in benchmark tests. That' s for non-gamers.

what do you mean? the laptop lasts for 24 minutes on full charge?
@@mastermemer8351 is usually 1-2 hours while gaming but I'm assuming a 4090 consumes battery even faster not sure
At this point in time I'd remove the battery altogether from modern day laptops; it's useless and has been for a while now I mean I don't think I've used any of my laptops unplugged in the last decade for more than couple minutes mostly when changing rooms or wall plugs
Just 24 minutes 🤯
@@millioooo its got a 90wh battery, and it used around 330w for the whole system, so it will not last an hour, around 25 minutes at full usage.

It's funny if you turn on DLSS setting, it can turn CPU temperature into 90+ degree which is very bad for the lifespan. The DLSS is very picky at choosing the cores since the load is half of capacity. Not very well optimize for the mobile use.

Yeah, Asus did a great job with this laptop. I don't like it's software that much but it's a great laptop. I hope in the future maybe we could see a great one of the top laptops that has a watercooling system. Water cooling fan here.
