The entire 2024 Zephyrus lineup is a disappointment.
Asus made them thinner, but I don't recall anyone asking for thinner by sacrificing cooling.

Who the hell is going to buy a $3300 "it mostly works" laptop? Between their recent laptops, motherboards and repair scandals, Asus is basically Newegg, a has been company.

Trust and consumers are no longer a prioriry, so they aren't a priority or trusted company for me. This article just seals the deal.

Average and inconsistent performance, costs $3300, and STILL gets a 3.5/5 rating?

I've been wary of ASUS engineering for laptops since like.... 2013.

I had a friend whose gaming ASUS laptop just... died.

After extensively troubleshooting it, we narrowed it down to the GPU dying, and at that point, it was cheaper to just get a new, other vendor laptop.

This model has similar issues if the cooling is inadequate.

IME most Zephyrus models have heating issues. How do I know? Because I've gone througbh multiple models, variations and sizes (because screw Best Buy and that's why I bought a warranty)

I have a G16 and love it for my games etc. but... Stalker 2 could not run, Diablo 4 my fingers would get hot on WASD, but the worst bit was the annoying ASUS lighting keeps popping off, not often but often enough when I need it. One of the main reasons I bought it was for the illuminated keyboards.
