Inconsistent WIFI
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was very excited for this laptop. The specs looked great. Followed a lot of reviews and when went on sell decided to purchase. Have to say very disappointing. Main issue the WIFI is just horrible. I am always having to play around with the driver for the WIFI. The WIFI on the computer crashes and then I have to change the Property/Values of the driver to get signal. This happens multiple times during the day. So this means I have to either downgrade the Value of the driver and then later up the Value of the driver. No consistency. It gets hot and I haven't even done any gaming on it. Just general work spreadsheets and such. The battery life is shockingly bad. I actually have done everything to try to conserve battery but I can't get more than 4 hours from general work usage. With trying to conserve battery life I do not run the fans as much but honestly from general websites battery life is really poor. There is also screen bleed in bottom corners. I would return but missed the poor 15 day return window.

We almost had it all. Starting with that screen.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is almost the ideal Laptop that is easy to carry and able to game on. It's best feature is the tall screen that is almost bright enough to use outdoors. It's almost on par with the gaming performance of the Asus G15 RTX 3070. The M16 is GPU bottlenecked and the G15 is CPU bottlenecked, so they are neck and neck. The reason I returned this one is because of the furry mat finish on the keyboard metal frame. I have owned Asus laptops with this finish before and over time it turns sticky and nasty, I hate it. The reason they use it is because this bad boy runs hot. The hot temp isn't a concern for the hardware, but a concern for the user. When gaming on it the middle keys of the keyboard get a bit too hot to touch. The chassis it self gets a bit too hot to touch, hence the reason for the rubbery matt finish on the frame. It doesn't just run hot, but it's fans are loud. Even with closed headphones you can hear the big woosh those fans make. I ultimately went with the G15 for how coolheaded it is. That the the 3x battery life of the G15. I still miss the screen of the M16.
