It is really scrap
I have old model zepherys g16, 4070, so i upgraded and paid 4000$ for that model. And it have same problmes then old, over high temperature. I cannot play in games, old one, new ine, doesnt matter. In old games like witcher 2 and assasin credd revelation fps is really low 80-110 and temperature overheating everytime. CS2 90-140 fps, i can’t recommend that scrap

Lightweight, Powerful and Excellent Audio/Visuals
I wasn't sure about spending so much on this laptop, but it's been great so far. The screen is incredible, the speakers are great and it has a ton of power for such a small device. Overall, the audio/visual experience with this laptop is something else. It does run hot, but that's to be expected in such a thin machine. It still has enough thermal headroom that it hasn't completely throttled on me and performance stays consistent. Performance mode is quiet and does a good job of giving you good performance without a lot of fan noise. Moving into turbo or custom modes and the fans can get really loud but you get a good bit more performance whenever the GPU is able to pull more power. It's played everything I've thrown at it so far, but DLSS is needed for some games. I know many don't like upscalers or frame generation, but they help to make this machine what it is. 240Hz with 3x frame generation is really impressive, in my opinion, and it wouldn't be possible to fully utilize the impressive display without frame gen. The chassis is very light and surprisingly so. I didn't expect it to be quite so light, I can barely feel it in my bag whenever I bring it along with me. Battery life is pretty OK. Keeping it in silent mode with the iGPU taking over, I've been able to get about 5-6 hours of actual usage before having to plug in which is pretty impressive for the level of performance this thing is capable of. That being said, performance on battery is nowhere near what it is plugged in, but that's going to be the case with any laptop. The only problem I've had with this laptop has been with part of the audio drivers. "Cirrus Logic Awesome Speaker Amps" often does not initialize properly whenever the laptop restarts and causes the speakers to basically stop working. Uninstalling the service in device manager and then scanning for hardware changes fixes it for a while, but after a few times of putting the laptop to sleep and waking it back up, the service will stop working and I'll have to go back and redo it to fix the audio. Restarting does not always fix it, either. It's a small thing, but pretty annoying for such an expensive machine. I don't really think it's worth deducting a point as the rest of the package is excellent. Hopefully ASUS is able to fix that minor complaint at some point or maybe I'll find a work-around. This is a very solid laptop, but the form factor means the performance is compromised. If you're planning to take it with you often, it's an amazing machine. If you need a desktop replacement that you'll move occasionally, you'll get better performance and thermals out of a larger machine and likely for less money. I'd recommend this laptop to anyone that wants something portable, but wants some more performance whenever you're able to plug in.

Fast and Lightweight, but runs hot
I love how fast and responsive this laptop is—it handles everything I throw at it effortlessly. It’s incredibly lightweight, which was a big reason I chose it. The only downside is that it can get very hot during heavy use, so I had to invest in a strong cooling pad. Overall, if you want a super portable and speedy laptop and don’t mind managing the heat, this is a great choice!
