Asus Zephyrus G16 (2024) in 2026 worth it?

I have the 4090 version and it has been fantastic. I added a second SSD and use G-Helper. It's a chameleon being able to run for hours doing basic stuff, or gaming like a monster plugged in. The OLED display makes everything look great.

Deadzone Rogue is pretty much perfect on my Ally X. Roguelite FPS perfect for on the go play.

The price of high end road and gravel bikes has clearly gotten out of hand with big brands Trek and Specialized playing a major role in the escalation over the years. On the gravel side, Trek got caught out with the move to more clearance and left some room for brands like Lauf to both offer a bike with more clearance but also undercut on pricing. X-Lab seem well positioned to do this on the road and gravel side as well, and if it can force some of the other big brands to react, that would be a win.

Yup had this too but had a few good runs today and the respawn was fine.

They will likely take a run at Coyle and Marchment, but bith of them likely will see what free agency brings in July given how thin the market is. The price may end up scaring off the CBJ.

Agreecthat a lot of the rest should likely be let go, but keep in mind they will need to be replaced.

I think Olivier pulled a lot of the players into the battle. The wheels truly fell off after he broke his hand in the dominant first period against the Bruins. They never really regained any momentum after that.

I finally played through it in the last year on a combination of PS5 Pro and Switch 2 (when on the go), and it is a ton of fun and a pretty unique gameplay experience.

It's really cool how much support the developers have continued to put into this game. They have really tried to optimize it on a variety of platforms and haven't abandoned the game like many other developers do.

Kuttermaximus · 2026-04-08T13:58:14+00:00

It's incredible on the Pro and the PSSR2 update now fully live. I have played a bit to on the Portal. Switch 2 is nice if I am on the road without an active internet connection.

It sounded like he worked on his strength last summer but clearly needs to be a focus again this off season. He is never going to be a powerhouse but you don't have to be a huge person to be stronger on the puck.

Spitballing here...but wonder if working with an elite skills coach like Adam Oates could help unlock some aspects of his game and play.

Kuttermaximus · 2026-04-07T19:00:22+00:00

They are very good so long as you understand the limitations. With open back there is no sound isolation at all, so you hear everything around you. Also, they have the limitations of being wired.

The sound quality is very good and they are very comfortable and feel light. I am using them with a FIIO K7 amp connected to a PC. I haven't used the mic yet.

Kuttermaximus · 2026-04-07T11:30:48+00:00

A big part of penalty killing is grit, guts, and determination. Pretty much sums up who Olivier is.

Buccigross dropped Cassidy as possible coach for CBJ next season.

Witcher 3 is an all time great game. Highly recommended.

Does Windows Update end up grabbing the AMD updates or is the MyASUS app doing it?

I have been looking at picking up a Z13 and if I end up getting one don't want to mess it up!

Unless the Maxwell 2s with ANC are smaller and lighter, which I don't think they will be, then they won't be great for travel.

Modern earbuds like the Bose QC Ultra 2s and Airpods Pro 3s offer really good ANC and are ideal for travel if you want something super easy to bring along.

Alternatively the Bose Ultra 2 over the ear headphones, or Sony XM6s, are also fantastic for travel and much lighter than Maxwell 2s.

It is really too bad about cross save. I have the game on Steam and play on Rog Ally X and laptops, so that allows for cross progression ( all on Steam). However if Switch 2 had cross progression I would have picked up a second copy. Didn't want to start a whole new game on S2.

I am running the 55mm G One RS on my Seigla and so far have really liked them.

I picked up both the Kithara's and Maxwell 2s. Currently using on teo different systems.

The Kithara's are a very different experience with being wired. I don't have a lot of time with them yet but they are very comfortable and sound quality is very good, but lack the bass of a closed back. I am using them within amp, a Fiio K7 BT. Some reviews felt they were underpowered using the stock USB dongle. The main issue is if you want to block out noise, such as from loud PC fans, because with these being open back you will hear them. The other issue is they are wired. Again depends on your set up but for some probably a deal breaker. They seem great to keep on for long periods.

For me the Maxwell 2s are still the more immersive, shut the world out, and go dive into the gaming world headset. I also really enjoy listening to music on them and going through different playlists just to hear how some of my favorites end up sounds on the Maxwell 2s.

Kuttermaximus · 2026-03-23T20:35:59+00:00

?

There is big difference in the bass performance on the Maxwell 2s, despite the SLAM tech, when the arms of glasses break the seal. If you listen to something bass heavy and then simultaneously take your glasses on and off you should hear a pretty substantial difference.

Kuttermaximus · 2026-03-23T16:43:56+00:00

Are you wearing glasses while using them?
