For the same price I could have got a better...
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Linus Tech tips highly recommended this laptop on their channel this year. They claimed "it's the best gaming laptop of 2022". Well I find that highly dependent on your use case.. If you use your laptop on the battery a lot, want a lite weight, portable laptop, that has great power, and good battery life, than the M16 may be right for you. However that is not my use case... I do need to take my computer around a lot... but I do not use it while traveling. Rather I plug it in once I get where I am going and I want the best thermals, most power, and the best specs for the price. I do not care about how thin my laptop is (within reason). The GE66 Raider is the laptop I should have bought. I had the 2020 model and it was PERFECT in every way for me. The M16 runs VERY hot, VERY loud, and thermal throttles despite having liquid metal thermal paste from the factory. The traded of thermals for that super thin design. The GE66 comes with double the ram, has an OLED display 1440p, and runs VERY cool, it does NOT thermal throttle. If you use your laptop plugged in and want the best performance than go for the GE66 Raider from MSI. I will probably be returning this M16 to get it. Not saying the M16 is bad... it does what it is made to do. Just not the best option for my needs.

Not to Good!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't know where to start of, I can say in my honest opinion. The first two laptops of this model, I had to return. The first one had a bad screen. The second one, I think the charger was not charging the laptop. After all this, the 3rd laptop of this model was having bad FPS drops, with extreme heat which made my left hand fingers very uncomfortable. Sent it in for repairs, got the second replacement, after a week later my screen turn black. I then turn this one in, to get another replacement. Asus finally nailed it on the 3rd laptop replacement. This is not to say as well, the dept for laptop customer support is horrible for responds, a lot of support members seem to take your calls very lightly etc. I do not recommend, Asus laptops. Till their customer support changes in the laptop dept, and have better laptops that do not over heat.

It's a beast of a laptop!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is so powerful when playing games in low resolution. 1080p is the best. I ended up getting the newest one because of the frame generation option. This one doesn't have that option, but regardless. It is a beast.

4.5 Stars... Really good laptop overall
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was expensive, but probably worth it. Pretty sure its one of, if not the best "deal" right now for a 12th gen i9 and 3070ti. Performance has been really good. I added a 2 TB 980 Pro for space since the included SSD is closer to gen 3 speeds. If I wanted to be picky I think I would give it 4 stars, but it really is a great laptop, lots of power for the size. I don't think you would be disappointed buying it.

Ridiculously hot
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The screen is great and the overall laptop looks nice. The temperature no matter what is way too hot. You wouldn't be able to use it on your lap and the keys get so hot at the top it's concerning. The hot air blows right at the very nice screen and I'm sure over time this will ruin the screen. Overall, I'm going to get a new laptop. The concern of the heat and overpriced $$ is not worth it.

Beast of a laptop for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is a beast and has run any game that I've installed on it with no issues at all without any need to dumb down graphics settings either. It can get a little loud at times and the vents being pointed at the screen is a very odd configuration but since they are trying to get the laptop thin it makes some sense. All and all, this laptop was worth the money (I got it on sale) and I have no regrets with the purchase!

Screen needs to be replaced due to pixelated scree
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great laptop while it worked. About 3 months ago started showing pixelated lines with discoloration. The more I read about it, the more i found that this is a common issue with this type of laptop. Of course is out of warranty so this 18 month old computer now doesnt work properly. It really is unfortunately because I enjoyed it but paying $2000+++ for a laptop that only lasted 18 months is very disappointing. Not happy, i had a very bad experience with ASUS.
