Snapdragon? DOA with useless TOPs that no one uses with the OS that killed the AI features.


Maybe RTX Spark with a 5070 CUDA core count and 300Gb/s memory bus? I am not sure if it will be better than the current crop of laptops that can reach 128GB already. I think it will be better than AMD but Windows ARM? who's gonna wanna use that hot garbage? The snapdragon machines are down to $400.

it's not a great deal but not a terrible deal either especially if you get one that's in very good condition.

If this had 32, I'd bite. If the 16 wasn't soldered, I'd also bite.

I really like the design of these laptops. My only complaint is the "slash" lighting strip which can be deactivated with software, and the soldered ram. If you do bite, be aware these will need a proprietary power supply to get 200w and activate the full potential of the GPU. Asus really kicked itself making so many 16GB soldered ones.

How is fan control on Asus laptops? Do I need stupid proprietary bloatware to do it?

Time has changed. 16GB RAM costs much more now than then

That isn't the issue though. The issue a supposed performance laptop that is permanently locked to 16 GBs means you don't have a performance laptop.
