I got this laptop. There is no coil whine. No over heat and no lag. Cons is the touchpad is cheap made. The gaming performance is superb! ❤

I'm no expert on the tests you did, but I found it curious that Raid 0 didn't appear to have any impact. Given the risk tradeoff, would you agree it's not worth it? (I'm particularly interested in things like game load times). Did I miss something? TY. Nice review ... and I've watched more than a handful!
@glenndaniel6592 Жыл бұрын
@@WootDini Thanks. Appreciated. The Strix 18 comes with Raid 0, but none of the tested videos I've seen reports faster ... well ... faster anything. Buy from a reseller and one can even change them to Samsung 990 Pros for $$. - As I understand the downsides, it's A) total data loss if a SSD fails and B) there is at least "some" additional latency caused by having to put the data through the raid controller ... both are bad for my use case (gaming). - The "pros" are typically written as "faster speeds, reduce load times, and maximize SSD performance" or similar. Those are mostly "just words". If someone reported that "loading a game's zone or changing a player's game character took 3 seconds less than 13 seconds without raid 0", I'd be all over that as a value proposition. (#'s pulled from bum in this eg). - Most tests I've managed to google are literally one or more SSD generations old. Not spotted a single one for PCIe-5. - My own experience was with a 9 year old Asus laptop where the Raid 0 just failed last month (why I'm seeking replacement). Even with backups, it's pretty gruesome to recover from. With limited information, for a decision made today, I'm thinking I'll go with your recommendation. Thanks again

personnally asus had made 2 BIG MISTAKES....... 1 no 6000hz ram support 2 no drs avaible in nvidia control panel, because even if you disabilitate igpu intel, the i gpu still working 2/3% and so you can't switch officially in gpu nvidia full mode

That's a hard question haha. So I will say the warranties issue is a concern. They are a massive company so I would not say it's a scam. What I will say is I do not agree with some of their practices. In the recent years they have taken some shortcuts that have burnt them and the lessons have not been learned hard enough. As a reviewer / creator I don't particularly enjoy the way they work with/treat many creators including me. Man such a hard question because they make quality products (and some shit too) but it's their practices that are causing issues. So I guess I would summarise it by saying they need to go back to basics in that the consumer comes first and not the shareholder, and also to treat media with more respect. The above is my opinion. There is plenty wrong but scam is the wrong way to look at it. I would say as above in that they making questionable decisions
