Can the RTX card be disabled? And if so, does this action completely stop the third fan?

I do not need the RTX On all the time (developer) so it would be great to have this option.

Thanks

I am confused as to why this version gets lower scores in multiple areas than the Intel version, when this is clearly better than that one. Battery life, Games Performance, Application Performance. Even things that didn't change (did they?), like the weight, camera and display are now getting a lower score. Did I miss something?

Any chance we can get some photos of the screen on this? Not sure if it's different than the Intel models but at the store it look MUCH less reflective than any other glossy screen laptop.

It is fine that you want what you want. However, others like different things. Personally, I prefer OLED over IPS and I hate numpads on laptops, so I am happy with the choices made here.

Exactly. This laptop is basically exactly what I've been looking for, and it meets the desires of almost all of the office working adults I know that want a sleek gaming computer.

If they can get the fan noise under control, that would be great. The only thing that concerns me is the OLED because I use a lot of static images on screen. But at the same time, the OLED is a huge selling point.

Nothing is proven about PWM

Quote from: NikoB(++) on August 21, 2024, 12:15:40the performance of operations and text input drops sharply

Vice versa, typing numbers in number row using 10 fingers is way faster than typing them on numpad. Numpad is there for ageing people who just need a numpad because their PC in 1990 had one. They really think they smash it fast with three fingers, but that's only because they type even slower on the rest of keyboard.
Spend 20-30 days of your life learning to type properly and you will never ever need numpad again.

Quotegreat OLED screen with 240-Hz refresh rate and G-Sync
Low frequency PWM, glossy, wildly glare surface, sharply increasing eye fatigue, lack of "True Black HDR 400+" certificate, which immediately indicates a shameful level of black for AMOLED and at the same time "great OLED screen"?

Quotesuperb input devices
A cut-down keyboard from the 14" model to the 16" and "superb"? How to work on this?
Some will immediately object to me that this is a "gaming laptop", but here is an outdated and slow 4060, which, as can be seen from the tests, can hardly handle any of the modern releases, it has problems even in fhd, which is only possible here through the DLSS crutch.

Again, the author can mislead buyers, assuring, like Asus, that there is HDMI 2.1 on board. But which 2.1 exactly? Does it support FRL6? If not, it is definitely not 2.1.

Again, Asus is being stingy again and instead of bringing out 2 USB40 ports built into the SoC, it brought out only one.

It turns out to be another meaningless Frankenstein from Asus.
It is absolutely not suitable for new games even in fhd with the shameful 4060. And it is absolutely not suitable for office work or software development - because the keyboard is from the 14" model.

As a result, it is not interesting for either gamers or those who buy a universal - to work and play a little in old releases.

That is why this series in our retail chains gathers dust the longest and is poorly sold. Even TUF 15.6" but with a normal keyboard and a classic numpad, is bought many times more..

Asus can stop doing improvisation, and even with slow dgpu, maybe it is worth at least installing a full-fledged keyboard on such configs? Sales will then immediately increase several times, however, if the screen is not a flickering and glossy AMOLED, but a normal semi-matte 4k@120 IPS with 1500:1+.

It is fine that you want what you want. However, others like different things. Personally, I prefer OLED over IPS and I hate numpads on laptops, so I am happy with the choices made here.

Asus now also offers its ROG Zephyrus G16 gaming/multimedia hybrids with the new Zen 5 processors from AMD. We have tested the version with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and the dedicated GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop. It continues to feature the same wonderful 240-Hz OLED screen—as well as an annoying third fan.
