    Got this laptop 1 week ago. I was choosing between so many of them and ended up with this one as the best in terms of price/quality in my area (fa507xi). Not to mention that this is my very first gaming laptop with relevant hardware. I was playing games on youtube for 10+ years. This is a great machine. I'm playing my favorite games without even bothering myself to check video settings. Temperatures don't go up to extreme numbers. Everything is working perfectly smooth. There are only 2 slight minuses: 1. Display could be brighter 2. Latest nvidia driver was causing micro stuttering every 2 sec after several hours of gameplay (recommended driver from official website solved the problem) My grade is 9.5/10

    I know it isn't really the way to benchmark, but I'd love to see performance and battery life results with the community made replacement for Armoury Crate- G-Helper. As we all know, Armoury Crate is a resource hog. In my case, when I switched to G-Helper my CPU temps dropped from 65C idle to ~49C. My battery life also was slightly better though Intel CPUs still lose to AMD in that regard.

    I purchased the RTX 4070 Ryzen 9 7940hs FA507xi iteration of this laptop in August for £1,299 (on offer in Curry's UK). At the exact time of purchase I upgraded to 32GB DDR5-4800 RAM (£74) as well as an additional 4TB NVMe (WD Black 7200MB Gen4) that was on sale for £239. Initially I got it to edit but wow! What I brilliant gaming rig it is - I managed to play the entire campaign of Max Payne 3, at max settings 60fps at 8K on my QN700B (also tried 4k 120fps max settings AA x4 on my LG C2 42 inch without issue). Also, Rainbow Siege runs at 240fps avg at 4K but I'm fairly sure there's scaling going on because I clicked auto detect, everything is ultra and AA is x2 with no DLSS so I'm gonna assume it's at 50% scaling or less but it looks great. Wolfenstein Young blood runs 60fps ultra settings with Ray tracing at 8k using DLSS. I've not really played much else but I can tell you it's a very very competent editing rig. My daily is a 3970x, 3090 & 256GB ram and the laptop is actually smoother at scrubbing on occasion. BTW the channel I'm commenting from is not my work channel. I'm a professional editor who never needed to use/own a personal laptop until I ended up in hospital for a couple of months - couldn't bring the work into hospital without a lappy. Anyway I know you're giggling at my gaming choice. I'm a boomer-shooter but 2077, Alan Wake 2, HLL etc probably all run beyond what the display can muster which is actually very good considering the price. The accuracy and brightness certainly outgunned anything else for the same money. FYI the company laptop is the Asus ROG Zephyrus duo 16 gx650py = £4,500 Ryzen 9 16c/32t, RTX 4090, 64GB RAM, 1100nits 240hz dual screen awesome bit-o-kit but I'm telling you now that that rig isn't 4x as able, far from it. It's barely twice as able but it is practical, if money is no object or if making money via digital productivity is your game. In fact when scrubbing or playing back footage there's no noticeable difference. Although I'm sure there would be pending complexity, bit rate, keying, luts, length etc of scene. However I cut a rough scene that consisted of 6x layers deep from 6x action cameras at 4k each at half rez no proxies on the timeline that was nearly 10 minutes in length with no issues. The only thing I noticed under immense stress was that the CPU gets hotter than the GPU which never went above 73°c for me. Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work! PS both my ram slots were occupied, unfortunately. This meant I had to buy a 32gb so-dimm kit and am stuck with 16Gb DDR5 which no one will need or want as thats effectively the base amount to start with. I was going to go off-spec and populate with 64GB 5200mhz, which should work but I didn't want to risk the hassle of returning the ram if it didn't work. Plus for the scenes I'd be editing on the lappy 64GB would have been unnecessary but I'm the kinda person that prefers to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Also, my panel is also 1080p 144hz and seems very good in comparison to your unit but panels can be like silicon. I'd not master colours for serious work using the panel but I would in a pinch (I'd use anything in a pinch if I absolutely had to produce something). Compared to others it is a seriously good buy and great value for money.

    I know it's a very late comment, but felt I needed to make it. For screen options, at 10:54 Jarrod says that (in the US) it's available with either a 1440p/165Hz, or, 1080p/165Hz, both with 3ms response time, while in Australia there's only a lower quality 1080p/144Hz option with no specified response time. (3 mentioned options in total). That's not, however, what's shown on screen and he says some false information. There's no 1080p/165Hz option anywhere. 165Hz is only available with the 1440p option and he says that both options in the US have 3ms response time, but the only one with such feature is the 1440p one. In fact, the 1080p screen option in the US seems to be the exact same in Australia Jarrod complains about. So, briefly, there's really just 2 options: -The basic 1080p/144Hz/18ms(ish) that everyone has. -A 1440p/165Hz/3ms that, at least, the Australian market didn't get. That aside, I loved the review!

    Got this model a year and a half ago or so. Before I get flamed, I didn't grow up with a lot of games, so it had a lot of influence on me. Roblox is the main game I play, but I don't know why, it never happened with my previous laptop (old, far worse, not a gaming laptop), but roblox would randomly freeze, and it does it semi-often. It isn't my internet connection, because it hasn't changed at all. That's about the only complaint I can recall having, other than that, it's great for my first ever gaming laptop. Although, when I tried getting it, the place I was buying from kept delaying it and delaying it, eventually the black friday sale expiring from $1300 returning to $1500, which sucked.

    Im currently watching this with my A15 2023 with a 4060 and the R7 7735HS(basically the 6800HS) and it was a pain in the butt at first because it was really unstable, BSODs everywhere and web browsers have an issue with RAM access which bad for my online exams that is time critical. It seems the BIOS is the culprit because the latest update fixed most of my problems, the previous 2 were garbage asf. I'm glad they changed the color of the WASD keys to black as the white from last year's model is an eyesore and screams gamer-y even if the design isn't flashy and boring(for some) but the keyboard is inconsistently tactile for my taste but good enough for me since I use a mechanical keyboard so I won't be typing that much on it. What I'm afraid is the plastic side piece the covers the bolt or rod of the hinge is creating some creaking noises. I haven't dropped it yet so it isn't the cause. And turbo boost is just makes go it is thermal throttle for 3 seconds LMAO. It is so useless if you want good temps but I think this also happens to other gaming laptops(this is my first laptop so...).
