Just wanted to thank you for including a performance on battery section. It is nearly impossible to get this type of information from other reviews, and it is one of the main factors when I purchase a laptop. Your review has put this high on my purchase list

Agree with the other comments - one of the best/most comprehensive reviews I've watched. Covering the OEM software is really useful as some have very limited functionality. Discussing undervolting and how power limits affect performance is valuable for gaming laptops and what would set similarly specced ones apart.

This is one of the best and most in depth reviews I've ever seen. Keep it up man

Completely underrated channel. This is the most complete laptop review I've ever seen. I'm thinking about buying one these second hand, and as someone who likes to tinker to extract maximum performance out of my machines, you've just made my life so much easier!

Great video bro, just got my g15 today and you've been very helpful explaining all this info. Thanks!

This is one of the best gaming laptop review ever. You go the extra mile of configuring the different modes and exploring the best one to be used, which honestly I won't be able to figure out (if I have one). The 'from user's' perspective and additions of memes just add the extra value to the video, bravo!

Set the CPU options, fans as you did in the video and set GPU max temp limit to 79 and GPU remained 79 C while gaming CPU stayed between 80-90 C. Much better I think. Anyway can you do a tutorial on armoury crate for best possible settings and temps during gaming?

Great vid! You should do a full guide of everything you should do to a G15 to get the best performance

Wow, I really enjoyed this review man. Excellent descriptions of each review topic, the chapters were super helpful, and I liked that you linked the relevant videos to each topic, even to other channels like Jarrod’s.

Such a helpful review and user guide! My G15 will be here on Tuesday :)

was searching everywhere for a good review on this laptop. thank you so much

Very detailed review. Nice to see you still loving your g15

This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen. thank you for your work. :)

Nice review Josh, Just picked this up for my work laptop but it will be on an elevated laptop stand and plugged into a 32" Gaming monitor the vast majority of the time. Replacing a 2020 MSI GE75. Appreciate the detail. Ended up getting it for $1350 from BBY on an open box but literally never turned on. Should be an excellent gaming laptop.

Damn, dude. This was a hell of a review. Found a great deal on the 3080 version of this model and went for it based on your review. Thanks for being so thorough in this video!

Awesome video. Its convincing me to get a g15 over other brands/models. Waiting a few more months to hear about the next gen video cards before pulling the trigger.

Looking forward to your review of the next gen man!

Dude you really went all out on this one ! A 55' video on the 2022 G15 🙏

Love the editing 😂 great video 👍😎

Amazing video. I've never digested an hour long video so easily... compelling content in every way imaginable.

Amazing review! Keep up the good work!

Great review as usual, for me I will hold on to my 2021 model, maybe will consider upgrading next generation

Thanks, i switched over from a Legion 5 Pro with a 6800H 3070 to this for the same price, this and your older legion vs Zephyrus g15 video really helped me get perspective.

Amazing overview of G15! I wonder is there any stability issues from switching the boot drive to another drive which I assumed u did.

Thanks much for the quality & detail of this review. It helped a ton with making a decision

thank you for this in depth review ik what to get now

Dang, great review! Thanks very much!

Great work, nice review

Really the kind of review I want to see more often Great work mate ! And thanks for going deep into the explanations and analysis of this laptop 👌

The most indepth review of this laptop out there. Excellent work. I've had this laptop for about a month now and aside from the bug it had with turbo mode I've had a great experience, it is the perfect laptop. (For anyone having thr turbo mode bug just use manual, performance or silent until they fix it)

Wow what a detailed review. u got my sub

Thanks Josh. I run A g15 3080. I learnt so much from your video. Many thanks dude

Respect for the sheer work on this review, best bar none. You ve got a new sub ! The tips, undervolting hint, and most important the igpu video out on a specific USB c ... A piece of info that no one gives or test....

I have the 2022 3070ti version for 1.5months already, and at first I experienced high temp issue but I fix it by disabling the cpu boost for both Silent and Performance, for Turbo I let it as it is. Next Issue I encountered is I get a bluescreen on somegames(Apex Legends) when I update it to the latest the drivers using Nvidia GeForce, fix for this is to uninstall the driver and use MyAsus for updating Graphics Card driver instead.

I’ve never watched a 1 hr laptop review until now, love the way you talk about it, more like a regular person, unlike some other famous KZfaqrs that only tell you what they want you to hear

Hi Josh, I just bought this piece of hardware as well here in Europe with the 240hz panel, and I wanted to ask you some questions: Did you find the chassis hot while playing? For me, it can hit 55-60°C just below the screen bezel and almost burn my fingers. I have also noticed after playing for several hours, the screen has some dead pixels that roll back after a while. Besides this, I have no other complaints about this incredible laptop, which will be very useful for my engineering studies. Good video, btw. I really appreciate all the work you're doing on this Zephyrus lineup, as you were the one who sold me the G15 with your video from last year. Thank you for this!

Hey Josh, for a starting channel your videos have great quality and are very fluid too. Love 'em. Subbing and leaving you a like :)

please do comparison g15 and flow x16. great as always, try to get some laptops from companies for reviews, you are the best reviewer hands down!!

Man,first of all the work you put in making this video is so huge..a 55 min video🤯. Can you also make a video about asus Zephyrus M16 .Awesome man....keep it up⁶

What only 5 k subs ! Wtf amazing review 👍

Amazing review. The most complete. It's also clearly visible that the author spent really much time with machine being described. Not like the rest of reviewers who owns the laptop for a week or two and acting like experts.

Great video, thanks a lot!

Such an informative review 😘

Great review😎 I love this laptop

You made me very happy with my 2021 model, if only for the battery life. I hope whatever needs to get sorted happens quick.

great review! im still a bit confused with the AATU, you could do an extra video on that. by the way i flashed my 3070Ti just to test it out and it worked well in gamed that didnt max out the GPU. with the 150watts bios and i think there are others out there aswell ;)

Cheers Josh! I just saw this same laptop for $1199 at Best Buy with the R9 + RTX 3060 configuration. I think it's a very good price, but what makes me worry is the reviews where they mention how lousy the QC is. What do you think?

best review ever. period. all question answered, im ordered this pc because of your laptop reviews. Asus should sponsor you 100%

Seriously amazing video

Awesome.. Complete guide 👏

Thanks for the effort, please make sure you decrease the blur in the video for more clarity.

Great video. I'm getting better battery life after updating my AMD drivers from AMD, an extra 2 hours but YMMV. And I pulled off the metal plates that are attached to the intake grills. They were blocking intake by ~20%. Obviously this isn't advised but it did lower my temps a bit and the whistle fan noise is better

Great review, Asus needs to put you on their payroll. That was very in depth. 👍🏾🧑🏾‍🔧🤿

Wooooow! This review rocks!!!!

Hey Josh, will you be uploading an updated optimization guide for the 2022 Zephyrus G15?

I love the minimalist design

Spot on as always! Very insightful. And thank you for explaining the manual mode sliders function (I get asked that all the time) and asus does a very poor job of explaining it to majority of the people who purchased this years lineup or even previous iterations.

It was one of the most honest and valuable reviews I have seen in a while.

Great review Josh! But how about the display, specifically with a low nits? What if you want to work on cafe or a building with lots of windows?

Massive respect Josh for the detailed video! I recently got this beast and wanted to know if you have any tips on how to make your battery (and laptop) last long? I mean, do you have any (battery?) settings that you always leave on/off or care routine or sth that you would consider necessary for a longer battery (and laptop in general) life? I would appreciate any advice!

Awesome video! hmm, do the PD type-c charging in this laptop directly supply to the board or will only charging the battery?

were you able to run external display with USB-C on battery on Eco-mode?? for me it always says it need to be in optimised mode even i connect to the port that is connected to iGPU, battery life for me also 6-7 hrs in casual work

just found this by chance, going to try my luck at an open box g15 with the 3060 at best buy for only $640. 🤞 great video!

finally got a rog zephyrus g15 🤘. Thanks to u.

Awesome vid please make one on undervolting

You mentioned that you bought it from bestbuy, did you trade your previous one in? Or did you just sell it on marketplace or something? I’m debating where to sell my prebuilt pc so I can have enough to buy this laptop :p

Nice review 👍. How many external displays can you connect to this?

what would you choose between a g15 with 6800HS, RTX 3060, 24GB Ram for 1940Euro or g15 with 6800HS, RTX 3070ti, 16GB Ram for 400Euro more? (both with 1tb ssd and 1440p diplay)

This was a surprisingly good review. So USB 4 certification should enable external GPU support right? That should enable around 10 or 15 years life for this laptop assuming the CPU and everything else holds up well.

Nice. I've got a 2021 model and will need a hella good excuse to upgrade lol so I'm waiting for the 4000 series laptop GPUs to upgrade.

Hey Josh, you said in previous video that adding a 16gb ram would be a sweet spot for the laptop, so does it also applies for 2022 model or we can go with 32gb ram stick for upgrade ? What will be better?

You are the king of laptop reviews.

Hey Josh, thanks for the great review. Would you recommend this over 2021 zephyrus 3070 which is 600$ cheaper now?

underrated channel

Great review mate. Should I get this one or the Msi gp66 leopard I7 11800 rtx 3080?

New to pc gaming and bought one of these. Seems like I made a decent purchase. Coooo

Nice vid! Do you recc taking 2021 3080 Legion 7i at ~$2350 or 2022 G15 3070ti at ~$2000?

(please reply) will you be doing thr same gpu vbios mods on this laptop too knowing its AMD, because i went through all your videos but my laptop unfortunately had RX6800m g15 advantage edition. Missed out on lot of awesome stuff because there is no such community to provide mods for amd laptop gps. It will be amazing to see how that changes since the big dog Zephyrus has the all amd specs.

I just got the g15 it 3060. I super new to all this gpu and cpu stuff. I just wanna know how to play my games without having my laptop getting super hot lol. But I love this video! And appreciate you! Do you do videos explaining all the cpu/gpu stuff to people like me who is fairly new to learning?

Is it worth upgrading from 2021 to 2022? It's so expensive so I'm hesitant, but the MUX switch sounds so good on paper. But then again I'd rather buy a PC. So it's either sell 2021 and upgrade to 2022. Or save up and buy a PC. Any advice? I love the G15 it's so compact and powerful and it looks absolutely stunning.

A phenomenal video with great attention to detail im thinking of getting 3060 version is that still great value?

Just bought it G15, R7-6800H, RAM 32GB, 1T, RTX 3080 ...what an amazing machine..it is not even the gaming laptop, it is a real big boy's toy, what an amazing performace and quality + a lot of options to personalize and set up in your unique way. Let me share some comments. I was almost decided to purchase Legion 5 Pro , but fortunatelly I have changed my mind. Pro : Super screen, fan noise at 0 when idle, full control of fans !!!! amazing, lot of other laptops do have any control on fans speed,s and noise level. If we are talking about noise : no noise when browsing, working, writing, watching films, etc.... When playing you have full control on performance/noise level, you can set your own preferences. The laptop is not hot as expected as it is very thin and premum build (super look and feel aka Macbook quality feeling). I see Asus have made a good job on it. Cons : Sorry I do not see at that moment any improtant For summary : SCREEN - awsome, very bright,great colors+you can personalise them, fast response, 15'6 is really enough Noise : no noise in idle (even where fans are turninga bit), even in stress is very acceptable, (all gaming laptops are loud, but or this one I was positively suprised) HOT : When working , browising, you feel a bit of heet of the keyboard, but really acceptable (I expected much worse caus of very strong processor and GPU) , when playing hotter, but like any other gaming laptop , GPU : wow, what a performance, not very high teperatures + you can control it manually, but you can still be fine with AMD one, you can even play older games using it TOUCHPAD : the best i ever seen , QUALITY : very premium build,, not expected that , in the coffe shop you are a king with it, everyboddy is interested in, cause most of coffe laptops are Macs SOUND : Very nice quality, not like in headphones, but very clear and quite loud if you want OVERAL : it is not a laptop for HARD players (go for Legion Pro), but it is real portable media/fun/games center with full of interesting features and super reserve of power and performance, (like 250HP car in the city, you know what you have , but you do not show that) you can spend hours on your personal settings if you want . you are buying in reality two laptops : 1) for normal user/creator and in the same time 2) you have huge gaming possibility with this machine if you want Thanks to Josh for the reviews and tests, I really share his point of view. Good work Josh ! ...still discovering all other functions of this outstanding machine..... PS : 3DMark Time Spy Score : Overal : 11.405 (Excellent) CPU : 10.412 GPU : 11.601 Model : Asus Zephyrus G15 GPU : RTX 3080 CPU : R7 6800H RAM : 16 (on board) + 16 = 32 HD : WD 1T Price paid (in Poland) : 1.600$ (american dollars) or 1.500 euro

Hi Josh, By any reason, I was recommending some important steps on this comment section for a bigger performance with your laptops and got deleted. If you can find it, please share it, as it will help all of you. I guess it has been due to the size as it was a detailed guide of how to do it.

I have 2021 model and still happy with that (using an external monitor). I might skip zen 4 too and eyeing for zen 5 or 14th gen intel with rdna 4.

I'm planning to get the rtx 3060 g15 for 1150 usd where I live, then move to another country for university shortly after and I'm worried that if I get QC issues, I might not be able to rma. Should I buy it from a different vendor after moving or is it okay to make the move now? I don't really know much about warranty so I'm quite torn on this

Very detailed analysis. Good job. I am confused between 3060 ryzen7 G15version and G14 ryzen 7/ RX 6700S, which one should I go for?

Thank you !!!

does the best buy version have international warranty?

Hey josh, I heard from a lot of people that got the asus g15 with rtx 3060 model had some heating issues. For all the other models they didn’t have the same heating issues. Is this true?

I've got the 2021 model with RTX 3080. As I watched this review, I tought that getting this laptop instead would be a good choice. Is it worth changing to 2022 model with RTX 3070ti?

Can you post all your manual settings in your armoury crate?

Hey, I know this video is old but have you had any problem with the keyboard (keys stop working)? I was looking on eBay and seems like Asus laptops have keyboard problems more than other brands. Seems like an uncommon point of failure.

Hey Josh, can you make an updated guide for the 2022 soon? also did you notice backlight bleed ? btw 3080 version should be overclocked same?

you can push memory oc to +700mhz easily its very stable, I started seeing issues around 1000mhz range. The desktop versions can go even higher

Hi bro, i have an issue with mi g14 2021, while im gaming the wifi dissconected for a 2-3 seconds, and then reconected himself, is it normal? nice content.

Great video, unfortunately my unit was not so perfect it has problem with the motherboard. Asus is in the middle of replacing it.

Hey Josh, I have a question here that the rtx 3070ti model is $2365.66 and rtx 3080 model is $2487.04 here in India. So that's not much of a gap for me. So should I upgrade to rtx 3080 model or not ?

Like your videos, was thinking between a g14 (2022) g15(2022), m16(2022) or....a x14 lol kinda which would I recommend I do 3d work and wanna game as well.

That sweet sweet new RDNA 2 0:46

trying to decide between this and m16 is so hard
