I realy like this one..
been running all kind of benchmarks.. the 3060 dont go over 75 degrees..
Close to 18,000 score on Cinebench.. amazing.. beating 16/32 core/thread ADM Threadripper
(Screenshots at the bottom)
build quality is amazing, i hate Lenovo putting numpads on they gaming laptop keyboards..
Keyboard on the ROG awesome 1.7mm travel, big keys, alot of space.. huge trackpad..
Display is fk great.. 16" 1920x1200 500 nits .. alot of space..
Soo many ports.. including an RJ45 Ethernet one, Laptop can charge with USB-C when on the go, The WiFi card is not soldered - can be upgraded if needed..
Fans are loud under max stress yeah, no way arround it, you want it to be able to cool of the silicone..
Going to install an 2T Samsung 990Pro SSD i got fro one of the current deals here - $144 and should be perfect
i have no complains about that one.. exactly what i wanted.. did not need stronger video card, the display res is perfect for the 3060 to run.. etc etc.. keeping it.

If you check the Best Buy specs you will see this exact model is shown as having a screen resolution of 2560x1600. Yes it comes set with a resolution of 1920x1200 but I I called Asus tech support and they said that although the screen on this unit is capable of 2560x1600 but windows will not allow a higher resolution on that screen. I don't know if that is correct or not — I am not here to defend Asus tech support—but I went into the Nvidia software and selected custom resolution and set the screen to 2560x 1600 and after reboot that is the resolution that I got. Once you do this you can check Windows display settings and it will show as 2560x1600
Note: I have used the Asus software that comes with the laptop to bypass the Intel graphics on my laptop so my unit will always use the Nvidia card. I am not sure if the "fix" will work if you are using the Intel graphics.

Ahhchtually,
According to Asus it's a 1200p native resolution
https://rog.asus.com/us/laptops/r...gid=143997
What you are doing is Super Sampling through the nvidia control panel. So no, it's not a 1600p screen for this model.

this guy keeps argung like theres only one panel res on M16s lol
this ones 1200p and i love it, i dont want the higher one..
RTX3060 w 1200p perfect..
i did not want a higher video card or higher res panel..
right now you can get the i9 with 3070Ti for $1,550 plus tax..
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus...Id=64946
i like mine for $550 cheaper, and 70 degrees GPU temp on Manual overclocked 3060..
the 3070Ti will be hitting 90s and the i9 can not hold higher frequencies cus it get too hot aswell..

yes it is
As a desktop replacement, I would go with Legion 5 Pro any day. But as a productivity/gaming machine where I may need to travel a bit or pack it to work everyday it's a very easy G14/M16 choice. G15 is pointless IMO in their line up since laptop is identical to M16 but with fatter chin on the bottom of the screen. May as well go for M16 and get that extra vertical screen real estate. Also, I'm a sucker for upward firing speakers.
