Edit: My post specific to the 15 inch adv Ed.

Not sure about this model, but it replaced the model that had the unfortunate liquid metal overapplication issue. Once applied properly the thermals were great, supposedly. It also came with a mixed bag of ram and to get the excellent performance you needed to replace the stock ram. Again, not sure if this model has that issue. I'd imagine it easily could. I don't see any liquid metal complaints on the best buy reviews. The reviews that are there are all QC complaints, which sadly is to be expected these days, especially with Asus. I'm surprised to see a "rep" responding, and actually pretty thrilled about it. Anyhow I'd look up the reviews for this model regarding issues with ram and LM before buying but if it's similar to its predecessor it should smoke a 3070 gpu laptop often coming close to a 3080. Unless something major changed. But I don't see anything to indicate that from the specs. For $1300 it's a killer price imo.

the Zephyrus is a more "thin&light" device, which is also less powerful

you are trading power for ergonomics basically, it's up to you what's your preference

BB has the one with Ryzen 9 and rtx 3070ti for 300 off rn... thermals on the zephyrus line seem to be a sizeable bottleneck.

Yep. I just picked one up and it idles at 60-70°C. It actually doesn't really get over 85°C when gaming. The problem I have with it is that when I leave it idle on my desk, the fans ramp up like crazy and are super loud. I am going to return mine because of this.

Nah, this laptop is very quiet, may want to check your OS power plan to balanced, it is loud under stress test but not as loud and burning hot as the MSI GS66 11800h that I had.

This was my experience when I was testing it in store. It was just idling at desktop and it was already super toasty.

I needed a new laptop an wanted to get one that I could do some gaming on…. But I've read all sorts of comments about thermals and countless people returning these asus laptops and I got the recent $1600 MacBook Pro deal instead. Obviously apples and oranges, but I am not able to deal with purchasing and returns etc; I just needed a solid laptop with good QC.

You have to disable CPU turbo on this CPU. The cooling isn't a match for it.

Yeah, Everything is up to date and all of the correct power options are selected. I've owned many gaming laptops and most handle thermals better than this.

Good choice. I know what you mean. These gaming laptops are great, but QC sucks. ASUS has some of the worst QC I've ever seen. I, no kidding, went through 4 defective Zephyrus G14's before I gave up.
