agree, but 18 inch is just a giant footprint. I think 16 inches is the sweet spot.

18" are monsters no doubt, but somehow this is the same width as my 17.3" and almost an inch less deep.

We will see how awful the screen really is... if it's bad, back to Costco she goes.

I had a16 16 inch
https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/f...tion-2023/

it also was larger than I expected, like zero bezel, beautiful screen, etc, it was actually a little monster and really nice, but I ultimately sold it for more than I paid later on, I just didnt play on laptop as much as I figured.

hoping the steambox comes in decent priced despite ram hikes. because I really want a emulation machine/steam machine/couch console/pc machine. I got 85 inch tvs, lol just dont want to play on 16.
