The Asus ROG Stirx G16 is able to extract a lot of performance from its strong hardware. An Intel Core i9 and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 ensure high FPS on a 240 Hz panel in many games. But things get really interesting when it comes to the volume.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Finally-quiet-gaming-with-the-Asus-ROG-Strix-G16.702198.0.html
Bad plastics.
Good effort. But it will have to do with ambient temperatures too.
Should've offered an amd g16 or m16 not with that 16 core but the 7840hs.
Intel version (or dragon ridge) for peak performance and Phoenix version for balanced one.
Typical noise level for desktop 4090 - 30-35dB in performance mode...it is 3-4 times quieter than laptops.
2023 laptops are completely inadequate in noise levels for gaming. They should not be bought. 2023 is the year of desktop solutions.
Niko, where do you get your noise values from?
4090/7900

I see, however, consistently low values at these sources point to a systematic error. Other sources have more realistic noise levels.

Dumb statement, 2023 will never be a year for stupid desktops.
Surprised the didn't do a vapor chamber design like with the G15 Advantage

You will have to prove the opposite with the same data collected everywhere, otherwise there is no faith in your words.

Hehe, good point! Unfortunately, I lack time to collect each hardware information as local file (I collect a lot but there are limits). Anyway, the hint that distances matter in noise values has been relevant and might explain the differences between what we recall.
I was just about to pull the trigger and buy one, then I noticed that hideous blinking status led on the bottom of the screen... Dear Lord, have mercy for their soul [facepalm].
Somebody has said that the status LEDs cannot be deactivated. (Nor can the red light of the power button.)
