I just grabbed one at BB for $1500 w/ no charger. Thought it might be a great deal but I'm reading it's a mixed bag. I'll be comparing it to the 5070ti that went on sale. Not a fan of the screen on that one and figured this could be a good compromise. We'll see. I might end up returning both and waiting for a better 5070ti config.
Its a great laptop for that price with the more premium feel. I have this one and also bought the rtx 5070ti that went on sale. If this is going to be your main keep it since you have a premium screen on this one and not have to add an external monitor.
Are you evaluating the 2 laptops? What's your general take on the long term value of the 4080 vs 5070ti?
Lol a 4080 video card at the 5070ti price range laptop.
This is more of a premium gaming laptop. Not your typical asus tuf or hp omen class. Its more in line with razerblade macbook build quality

We are in the same boat it appears. Appreciate your suggestion and so far I'm loving it. I've been reading a lot since I pulled the trigger and it's somewhat of a mixed bag but overall it seems to be a pretty popular laptop w/ generally good reviews. I was a little hesitant about the intel processor tbh. Most would prefer the AMD equivalent including myself, but at least it's not getting completely panned from what I can see. The screen is clearly on a different level and I agree about the premium feel. The Strix feels a little over the top and bulky in comparison, but I could probably live with. I definitely prefer the Zephyrus in looks and feel though. I was unaware Asus moved away from the barrel charger in 2024, so I can't really test this thing out myself. Hopefully the one I'm overnighting isn't a fire hazard.

I will be doing some evaluation but until they are evenly matched by the upgrades. My take on those laptops is like what i said before, if this is your main then just keep it for the nice screen and rtx 4080 performance.

A premium laptop that's prone to screen cracking from opening the lid.....HARD PASS. Look up "G16 cracked screen"
Yea, not having a high regard for BB to fix Asus screen.
