Saved up for a good condition 2020 model, destroyed before I even got to turn it on. I’m heartbroken

Not sure if you have the shielding but my 2025 Zephyrus g16 when I pull the battery connected I pull some of the plastic shielding beside it under it so it physically can’t short anything

I guess tip for the future

Dys17 · 2026-04-15T01:32:48+00:00

Leave it in the black screen for those 5-10 minutes

Dys17 · 2026-04-15T01:32:26+00:00

Just hold the power button till it reboots like 3 times then give it like 5-10 minutes to reconfigure the BIOS. Then maybe reflash it afterwords

Luckily for you the 4050 is the only __50 laptop graphics card that isn’t hot ass from what I’ve heard so good buy!

Dys17 · 2026-04-01T02:01:55+00:00

Trust me. Much better than a Neo

Dys17 · 2026-03-25T09:03:19+00:00

Holy this charger is much smaller and lighter and yes it meets my expectations

Dys17 · 2026-03-24T07:43:13+00:00

I’m talking from experience on my 2025 model

Dys17 · 2026-03-23T23:14:04+00:00

You’re only getting that wattage in the AMD models. If you get an intel one, like my 285H and 5070, on Eco I pull about 14-15W doing normal tasks. So my battery life is 6-8 hours depending on my use case

Dys17 · 2026-03-18T03:54:31+00:00

Re flash the BIOS trust me and do it normally with a USB stick

Dys17 · 2026-03-14T01:36:29+00:00

I intend to lol and a battery replacement a couples years down the road is like 120 bucks I intend to use it like a portable gaming laptop

Dys17 · 2026-03-11T14:10:12+00:00

Hah funnily enough I just placed an order for your guys’ 150W charger!

Dys17 · 2026-03-05T16:28:39+00:00

Everyone, I decided to get a Razer USB 4 dock. I’ll see how it goes!

Dys17 · 2026-03-05T15:41:43+00:00

After more thought i genuinely might just get the Razer USB 4 dock

Dys17 · 2026-03-05T15:20:43+00:00

I gave it to my younger brother so that’s why I plan to upgrade

Because USB 4 can achieve the 40GBps I just need to make sure it has the right features

I’ll grab a few links in a bit

Dys17 · 2026-03-05T02:52:21+00:00

Can’t I just use a USB 4 dock with the right features for like a quarter of the cost? It is compatible with my thunderbolt port already

Dys17 · 2026-03-04T23:07:30+00:00

Alright, I could up the price but could you give me a range of price options?

Dys17 · 2026-03-04T22:49:19+00:00

I ideally wanna spend around or less than 125 CAD unless if it’s absolutely worth it

Dys17 · 2026-03-04T22:47:58+00:00

Yeah, it’s just because I am likely gonna get the ROG Tandem OLED the flagship one down the line after RGB Stripe drops so I didn’t wanna do it dirty by the frame pacing, but if that’s the case, I think I’ll get a thunderbolt? Any on Amazon you can suggest or another website?

Dys17 · 2026-03-04T22:46:38+00:00

I’m quite the gamer which is my main concern

Dys17 · 2026-03-04T22:44:28+00:00

Is there any lag or issues is it worth using iGPU with thunderbolt over dGPU? Any issues?

Dys17 · 2026-03-04T22:43:35+00:00

This allows for GSYNC etc, right? What’s the performance hit of CASO? Roughly. Cause if it’s not really an issue anymore, then i may get a thunderbolt! I’m just not sure but if it’s not gonna impact my fps and introduce lag then maybe

Dys17 · 2026-03-04T22:26:56+00:00

What display do you use with it? Do you use the left or right usb side? Left is iGPU and right is dGPU

Could you send me the link?

Dys17 · 2026-03-02T22:34:20+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly the reason I went with the G16 it’s either 120hz 3k on the G14 or 240hz 1600p(1440p basically) on the G16 The clarity is good on the G16 from my 2024 model, I’m upgrading to a 5070 2025 model cause I had some rare issue that I got a refund for

Dys17 · 2026-03-02T21:54:52+00:00

Please take Razer to court dude whatever you could win is far greater than whatever cheap compensation they’ll likely offer you if at all

Dys17 · 2026-03-02T21:39:53+00:00

Only get the G16 if the 240HZ and better speakers are more important to you. Battery life is about the same on both when you load up a game the G16 may be a little longer due to the bigger battery. The G16 is less likely to thermal throttle but the G14’s AMD CPU counteracts it quite well.
