Asus ProArt P16 laptop review - AMD Zen 5 meets RTX 4070 laptop and 4K OLED

[Goberman]

Efficiency = the rate of useful work performed by a machine or in a process to the total energy expended/consumed.

Let me explain it to you like you are a child.
AMD CHEATED! AMD CUT CPU PERFORMANCE IN HALF AND GOT A FAKEY BATTERY LIFE NUMBER WHILE DOING ONLY HALF THE WORK! IF YOU PUT YOUR MACBOOK INTO LOW POWER MODE MANUALLY YOU WILL GET EVEN MORE!

Thanks for the review,
Cant wait to see one for the new tuf a16

Not that I can buy any in my region, but still hope to buy the 4060,32gb, fhd version

Great Review... but anyone else wondering what the point of this laptop is? I'm an artists and will invest in a good convertible, but for the last few years there's been nothing with decent GPU without major concessions (usually intel cpus tbh, like the surface studio's i7-11370H... remember that absolute mess!?).

I mean, strix halo is coming, which will make this cpu/gpu setup redundant. Integrated mega gpu's are the future, sharing 64gb of ram, basically M3 max on windows, canny wait for them foldy badboys.... if they bother making them. Though it looks like the OEM's are well on this AMD new hardware bandwagon, so hopefully.

So, most us nerdz know this is gonna be a hotter, louder and less efficient machine compared to devices coming in a few months, and those who don't are gonna feel mighty peeved after buying these, right?

Just picked this up at Best Buy on an early black Friday deal for $1300 to replace my Thinkpad P1 amd outside a few little things, its pretty nice, well built, gets amazing battery life, and the factory calibrated display is 0.44 delta E. Keyboard is on par with my Thinkpad.

Definitely happy with the purchase. No ragrets! Lol

Also M3 Max outran this AMD in Wifi battery life test by x2 - and Wifi test is actually a better one because it shows a real workload, while video test compares the efficiency of onboard hardware codes, not CPUs.

If you don't know how to add M3 Pro to the table, here's numbers 1481 1204 83.
AMD can't reach those runtimes.

Comparing a mac to a pc is like comparing a bean to a cow. Sure mac is useful as a paperweight. Who cares if it is faster when only 20% of programs will run on a mac.
Nothing is intuitively designed despite their feable efforts.
I bought an iphone and had to take it back because compared to android ot was absolutely impossible to measure up. Everything was flawed. Even the simplest things like moving your icons around on the screen were met with massive challenges. Placing your cursor in a text message. And dont get me started about the standby non usage battery life.

Mac is trash.
So what if it beat AMD. Thats like the worlds strongest man wrestling a garbage truck. of course the garbage truck will win. But the man is way more useful.
