    As a prior owner of the 2023 model, I sold it at a 15% loss and bought the 2024 model. To me it's totally worth it for the screen alone. The MiniLed is absolutely fantastic. What Jarrod didn't cover in comparison to the 2023 edition is... 1 The charging brick is smaller -10%?, and lighter 775g, down from 975g. The wall cable is 2 inches shorter, the brick cable is the same. 2 RAM is now 5600Hz, up from 4800Hz by default. 3 The centre fan goes up to 8100 RPM up from 7100. 4 Slight redesign of the hinge system. 5 Increase in internal component covering material. 6 The new laptop is roughly 50 grams heavier. 7 Gamer aesthetics on interior, on keyboard deck. An additional feature the 2024 one has, you can turn off the status LED's off which is really nice for immersion retainment.

    If they were brutally honest he'd call Nvidia out on their scam on laptop GPU names, like desktop reviewers called it on 4080 12GB. But apparently calling a 4060 ti higher tier in laptops("4070") is completely OK and shouldn't be mentioned. Neither did Nvidia use desktop 4070 in laptops at all, because that would be a good value GPU. Instead, they offer 4070 ti and 4080 in laptops for an absurdly high price because these are called 4080 and 4090 in there.

    This laptop is a monster and the best 4090 laptop apart from the Titan which costs 600EUR more. I only wish it wasn't plastic, when I am paying 4k for a laptop it should definitely be metal and it would be nice to have an OLED or 4K display too. However the 2023 version costs nearly 1000EUR less here and it performs the same in games. It doesn't have a miniLED display but you can just buy a 4K 240hz QD-OLED monitor with the money that you save. 14th gen Intel is a scam

    The Titan is mediocre in all test and only looks the best on paper. And given the results, this laptop is not the best 4090 either. Even the 2023 is better, and on some tests it's actually the worst 4090. It is a monster though, and I totally adore the mini-LED screen. But that alone is no reason to justify the expense.

    14th gen is just a refresh so no surprise that it can only boost .4Ghz over the 13th gen. Maybe next gen we will see leaps to above 6Ghz. Idk if we will see more cores though. Eventually we will need an entirely new cooling solution. I feel like cooling solutions are about to run into a brick wall as they are already struggling with the i9 13900hx. I can't imagine having to control heat output from 6Ghz and even more cores. Companies have to start being way more innovative if we want even more powerful processors in laptops.

    As someone that just sold the 2023 Scar 18 to buy this one I have to say, subjectively I think there are more differences then mentioned here, the charger appears to be a GAN charger now which is a big improvement, the sound quality is much clearer then my previous 2023, it's better subjectively to my 2023 Blade 18 actually, and the design although subtle has also changed on the deck itself, the screen was always good on the Scar 23 but this appears much the same but with OLED like levels of contrast, the black levels are almost a match for my Sony A9L with only off angle viewing giving the game away slightly, this is a really lovely laptop now and easily the best of the 3 I've experienced in the past 18 months.

    the price is crazy high, expected though for a 4090 with 18 inch screen. i'm more focused on a 4060/4070 laptop this year and hopefully i will get one soon with such GPU, thinking about nitro 17/ helios 18/ alienware m18 for such a price, if anyone tried one of those laptops, your input would help a lot thanks.

    what's it called when someone laughs quickly a little bit when talking Copilot The phenomenon you’re referring to is often called nervous laughter1. It’s a stress response to uncomfortable situations and serves as a way for the body to relieve tension or as a defense mechanism to avoid painful emotions1. However, if the laughter is inappropriate or follows every sentence, it could be a sign of certain conditions such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or Tourette’s Disorder2. If you or someone else is experiencing this frequently and it’s causing concern, it may be helpful to consult with a healthcare professional.

    Probably the Intel one but first make sure that the models you have, are the same specifications as the models I found in my search. Firstly make sure the screens are the same. For my search I found out that the the Intel one actually had a better 500nit and 240hz screen while the AMD one had a 350nit 165hz screen. If this is the case get the Intel one. In my search I also found that the Intel is a i9 13900hx and the amd is 8845hs, and in this case the Intel processor is much better than the amd.

    Asus Scar 18, does It have a Thunderbolt 4 port or 40gbps USB-C? Can you undervolt the CPU in BIOS or with software? Does It already have liquid metal on both CPU and GPU? How are temps in R24, Blender, and gaming 4k ray tracing for both CPU and GPU? Does the Laptop become hot tò touch? Can you install 6400mhz Memory? Does the BIOS let you manual overclock RAM and select profiles and voltage? Display has g-sync and HDR10? How many ms? Mux switcher tò disable iGPU? How does the 14900hx compare tò 13900hx? Can you make a test? Is GPU overclockable at least +200 core +1000 Memories?

    Then I guess the best option is still the Scar 17 with either 7945HX and 4080 or 7945HX3D? It's often around that 2000 USD mark (at least the non 3D version). Although personally I'm still on the fence between Scar 17 with 7945HX and Scar G18 (not the one in this video!) with i9-14900HX, given the memory (4800 vs 5600). I guess waiting till the 2nd half of the year might be the better option for EU 🤞
