Another thing to note is that I couldn't immediately get my Linux distributions to boot, like Debian 12. It crashed hard, There is an Asus Linux community page (https://asus-linux.org/wiki/fedora-guide/) and they recommend Fedora for this, which I don't prefer but will try. There is additional info on that page about how to install NVIDIA drivers and a special kernel. Not as straightforward as I had hoped to dual boot. Debian works flawlessly on all my other hardware, no customization or post install config needed. Again, this is my first gaming PC after many years of Mac, so this may be a more universal experience for high end hardware.
When I got it, even if it was an open-box excellent condition, it had three four scuffs/scratches on the laptop. This really scared me until I started to play around a bit on this laptop. So far, the laptop runs fine. It feels very "premium" for the price you pay.
This laptop is very well balanced. It is capable of doing gaming, and for work/school, it is very portable due to its light weight. It feels like a quality product.
I am assuming that this laptop has several competitors, from Lenovo Legion, Alienware, and potentially Razer. I personally think that this laptop is the ultimate choice, as it is very well built. Unlike it's previous year version, I believe the newer version is capable of replacing its original ram, which makes this even more customizable. This laptop shows the true versatility that a portable gaming laptop should have.
Design is another important factor for laptops. I believe this laptop is a strong contender for the TOP3 place solely by design as well. When it comes to design, there are so many different views that convinces the buyer or not. I am personally a huge fan of Razer, so I think Razer design is the best, but it is a very close choice, and this laptop is indeed very, very pretty; it looks prettier irl. I think Alienware designs are too childish, but a lot of people prefer those characteristics in design so I respect it.
Personally, if you are willing to jeopardize yourself, take the open-box deal (if any are available). They have extended return period due to holiday season. If anything comes, simply return it. I think this is the best laptop at around 1.5k price range.

Asus is going to solid aluminum frames on some models next year though, so that's something to consider, also Thunderbolt 5 is expected next year if you plan on using a dock, which should fix all of thunderbolts past problems with gaming laptops.
cons - fans get really loud in turbo mode and not sure if this is my system but when it fans hard - it emits a strong burn smell - so longevity maybe an issue. sometimes miss the numpad. also pretty good speakers. debating between this and the msi vector even though that has a much much worse screen
I prefer no numpad keyboard layout of M16 but the alluminium frame of Slim 7's keyboard deck feel more premium to me.

That being said, G16 is no slouch either is actually a very decent deal esp. if you can combine the 10% off via new sign up and AMEX offer. That would make it around $200-$300 cheaper than this M16. If you want to save that money, go with G16.
If you don't mind spending more, this M16 is a no brainer.
