Your reviews are my favorite out of any others on KZread. I feel like you give a fair honest review with little bias and have been super helpful to me in my search for a new laptop. Thank you and keep up the good work sir!

Thanks for the review. I am so excited to see all these new gen laptops that are really an upgrade. Just curious that ASUS didn't remove the bottom chin from the G15, as they did with the G14. Extra screen space is always good.

I have the G14, in white. But gotta say, the M16 in black looks dope.

I just want the M16 screen on the G15 - give me that AMD cost savings, efficiency and lower fan noise, but I do want that 16:10 screen.

This was literally a video I was waiting for!!!! A 2022 update to the G15....:))))

Been a while since you did a "what's in my bag" or an EDC episode would love to know your current mouse, watch, phone case if you use any

Really excited for this video because I want to buy a gaming laptop soon and was aiming for the Legion 5 after watching your tier video that time!

Love your content, and your new hairstyle or lack of comb. Either way huge fan!

It kinda feels like they cycle between refreshing the g14 and g15. Last year the g15 saw big improvements, this year the g14 got all the love. It just feels weirder since they already make the m16 which is literally just a better g15 chassis with an intel processor (better/worse depending on workload). Given the similar chassis, I’d have loved to see the 16:10 display at least as an upgrade. The cynic in me says they knew these new AMD processors and nvidia ti graphics cards are good enough to sell with the old design, so are just saving it for an easy upgrade next year

G15 this year is ful of shit, why would anyone pick sth in between, i'd rather go with G14 or M16, less performance more battery life or more performance and lesser battery life, but but both give you amazing panels even tho it comes with a cost of the refresh rate, so what i am trying to say is there is no clear winner thanks to asus not making a perfect laptop with perfect specs...

Good honest comparison review. 👍

The M16 feels like a direct competitor to the Razer Blade 15/17 for creatives that are looking for the extra graphical performance in the thin & light laptop category. I think at the high end all models come with 3080ti with 16GB of vram and 32GB of ram. Of course the Blade 15 gets a lot less wattage compared to the M16 and Blade 17 so that's something to consider too on top of the price.

3:52 "300 Nits" What a shame, that is my biggest deal-breaker of the G15 right there. 500 Nits SDR brightness should be the bare minimum at this price with the upgrade option to HDR (OLED/miniLED).

@@Ducott For high end gaming Nvidia is the way to go. If you won't use the laptop on the battery mode that often then you might as well go for the intel chip for that extra CPU juice and more FPS. 44db is actually quite good for a gaming laptop in balanced mode and is not that loud. If you really need a more quiet laptop then you could also go for Razer Blade. But it has worse performance due to lower tdp and is more expensive.

The throttle issue happens time to time on my last year G15 too. Guess it's smth with the fans that isn't optimized as it should. But luckily it happens rarely and pretty quick, so it's just a slight annoyans when it happens at least.

Well thanks for the review Dave, I'm kinda just set on the Alienware x17 but see they do have a newer version out, was also interested in the ROG Zephyrus Strix Scar 17 only because of the price and the graphics card, and processor in it. I want something that is geared for what I am gonna use it for. I think the Alienware x17 is just my pick because it has more ports and a bigger hard drive option geared for what I want.

Bought my M16 half a year ago, really happy with it! But damn, now I want the 2022 model after seeing that performance upgrade!!

Hey dave god bless you

Asus just needs to include a full SD card slot and I'm sold

Bro the Zarya tracking is lit!

I got my 2022 m16 a few days ago. My main usecase is music production. The laptop replaces a i7 9700f desktop, and I'm getting 30-40% more CPU performance in Ableton Live with the 12th gen i9. When running on integrated graphics (music production is not graphically demanding), the laptop stays pretty quiet and cool. No complaints. When gaming, it def gets hot and loud, but I use headphones and don't notice. It's an amazing laptop with a great screen and a solid keyboard. Def recommend!

One question, who is under the table handling the laptops? 🤔🤔

Asus is doing great these days, the M16 is very tempting - though I would like to see a little bit higher quality materials to be used for my own personal taste.

Hi Dave! Your videos are fantastic and you sent me down a rabbit hole with this one. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get an M16 to replace my aging XPS. But, I have since watched a lot of videos and read a lot of reviews that talked about how much hotter the Alter Lake chips still are vs the AMD chips. I game and make videos so I was pretty sure I needed to have an Intel chip. I saw that you used your G15 as your main laptop last year and wanted to know if you used it for video editing and if so, if it's a viable option. Like you, I think the white laptop is so nice to look at, and the lower thermals and quieter fan are also tempting. Thanks!

Hey Dave, great content as always. I'm curious about a couple things. With both my 2020 Area 51m R2 max configs (10900K, RTX 2080 Super) and 2021 Aorus 15P YD max config (11800HK, RTX 3080 16GB VRAM), I still get better performance than both the aforementioned lot in the video as well as even the new X17 R2 with max configuration on more than a couple gaming benchmarks and 3DMark and PC Mark scores. This holds true for more than a few other 3070 Ti/3080 Ti powered 2022 models from what I've read of published benchmarks. Of course, A51m R2 is a true full fledged desktop replacement with desktop parts and 15P is specifically optimized to be a slim form factor gaming and media powerhouse. But how much of this do you think has to do with performance bottlenecks due to Advanced Optimus? And how much of it do you chalk up to throttling and heat issues in the slimmer form factor of newer laptops? The A51m R2 has neither AO or a Mux Switch and 15P YD only has a proprietary software-based solution to bypass optimus from within Aorus Control Center that can be set to auto or manual control. Then of course, there's also simply connecting to DP or HDMI 2.1 Display for a performance jump.

Seriously love your reviews! But this one surprised me to be honest. I waited all last year to get an M16 with a decent GPU, but the 3070 version never came to the US. As soon as this 3070 Ti model was available I snatched it. Now I've been using the Razer 14 and I have loved it but I wanted that bigger screen for what I do. The screen on the M16 is incredible no doubt, but overall the fan noise is so bad I couldn't take it. I had to return it. Anything I did on it that needed the slightest performance boost required the fans to be cranked and they are horribly loud. Excellent screen, but build quality for the price left something to be desired, battery life is not great, and just too loud. So I was shocked you recommended it as I didn't feel the performance outweighed the fan noise.

My guess is that fan noise bothers you a lot less when you don't have to live with it and reviewers don't have to live with the devices.

According to what you are saying everything that require a boost will initiated the load fans. Did you try with the IGPU only mode enabled? I see other comments saying the IGPU makes a big difference on the fan noise subject. TY!

@@rambonusius I mean yeah if you’re running the gpu on at all times it’s gonna have the gpu fans running at all times, but if you’re using the Intel graphics chip the gpu fans are turned off completely

When will these laptops even be available? I'm having a lot of trouble finding them on retailers sites.

Hey Dave, is there any battery life improvements compared to last years G15 ?

Laptops getting so much better, excited for what they'll have when i refresh after 4 years lol.

now I'm a bit worried, is the significant less battery life that bad ? or is the m16 already have a good battery life but the g15 is just overkill ?

As said before, the Intel labtop will get significantly worse battery life but does perform better when plugged in. It is probably the best choice if you do not need to worry about battery life and always have the charger on you. I personally would not use it as a school labtop. If you need to take it to school or work without worrying about battery life the g15 is the way to go for sure. You are not losing game breaking performance in gaming or productivity. FPS in gaming is the same but productivity is slightly better than the g15 and it has a better screen. I would personally get the g15 only because I only casually game on my gaming labtop. It is not a desktop replacement for me. And I need a longer lasting battery and a labtop than runs cooler while still being a good performer.

I was waiting for this one 😄

Dave i likes your vide, thanks for sharing all the great tech. I saw the screen on the gaming frame at 5.31 sec, its comparing to M16 RTX3070ti, based on what you said 10 seconds earlier, are you saying that M16 got RTX3080ti version too? Thanks.

Honestly, I wish that the fans were easily removable on the G series. Although I haven’t watched the full video yet, it’s been like that on my 2020 G14 and it’s still here in 2022. You can’t always get what you want, but it’d be great if they could be removed without needing to remove the heatsink on the laptop to clean the fans.

Only HDMI 2.0b instead to 2.1 is a limitation in M16.

They look awesome but I'm still in love with my last year's M16 which I don't think I'll upgrade until another 2 years.

That full screen of the M16 is just awsomeee

Huge performance jump! I expect huge price tag as well.

Do you review any affordable laptops. $600 to $900?

Hi Dave2d, thoughts on z13 and new x13? I love the idea of mobility of it as I travel for work.

1:20 omg that "unfortunate" scribble on the G15 was fantastic, I would have leave it. so cuuuuute

😳 So excited for this review! EDIT: Dave got me contemplating selling my 2021 G15 for the 2022 M16 😭

I'll still choose the 2022 G14 with the upgraded 1400p screen.

superb work

hello Dave, It's so good to kill time with your informative videos. I work in a office as a db engineer and some time i also need to run 3-4 VMs for practice. Which laptop will you suggest me. I do not play games in laptop.
