Thank you guys for the review. As always amazing job!

I really don't understand how the most efficient Zen4 can be noisier than the hot Intel?! Is this intentional damage to the laptop and cooling system by Asus at the behest of Intel (of course not for free)?

Otherwise, this model has been on the market for a long time (15.6" with 4070 costs $1300 with a 2.5k screen) since spring 2023. And there are about the same unsuccessful architectural solutions.

The main problem with the 17.3 is that it has been almost impossible to find a 2.5K screen model in retail since the spring, and in most countries of the world.

Due to the stupid greed of Acus, a cheap ddr5 4800 is installed, not 5600, and what's even worse is two modules of 8, and not one of 16, in order to immediately get working 32GB. It would be better if they sold it with a 4GB module - at least you wouldn't mind throwing it away right away.

Poor location of the power port, which blocks the exhaust of the cooling system on the left. Why it couldn't be done from behind is unclear.

Well, Asus's greed for ports - instead of 2 USB40s built into the SoC (which made it difficult to bring out the second one, on the right, it's unclear), as usual, only one was brought out (in 15.6 it's the same). Yes, and USB-a is defective, not Gen2.

The keyboard can also be improved, especially by 17.3" - the keys have more travel, their sizes in width and height (Esc, Fx...) and the numberpad of course.

The screen must be strictly 16:10.

But Asus marketers left all this for the strix 18" series, in which they ruined the numpad (right arrow in the place of insert) and besides, it is only on Intel. Although this is not what makes it different at all...

Asus' attempts to cut and sew only lead to the fact that most of these models gather dust in warehouses and shelves until the price is significantly reduced from the indicated...
