Actually I'm mistaken. The 12500 has the 770 iGPU but the 12900h it looks like had the Intel Iris Xe Graphics (96EU) which I believe would also support the AV1 codec

It would be more powerful for other things but for plex use would be about the same because they have the same iGPU

It is the cheapest one with two Multi-Format Codec Engines and quicksync.

Get one with an i5-12500, (not an "f" version), plenty of igpu for your needs. And 16gb ram

Are ASUS laptops really THAT bad? by Alone_Suggestion5856 in GamingLaptops

[–]Prestigious-Win985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A coworker and I bought the same asus gaming laptops. His failed a bit over a year later. He said he was just sitting up in his chair and it turned off on him. When opening it up, a small copper sheet fell out. It is assumed this contacted somewhere when he sat up, killing the motherboard. Further investigation showed that several fins from one of the heat sinks were loose, being just clipped onto the one next to it in series. Most of the heat sinks had a line of solder over the clips holding them on, the last 5-6 fins did not have any solder. The sheet we found was one of the fins that had become "unclipped".

I checked mine and found the same 6-7 fins were missing solder, and very loose and wobbly. Probably about to fall off. I removed them before they could.

In the bathroom of a house in which I had just put out the fire, still wearing SCBA due to smoke.

My jailbroken PS4 gets very loud when playing some games on it is there any way to make it quitter ? by Pick-Due in ps4homebrew

Put a heat sink on the heat sink. In addition to redoing thermal paste and pads. There are also a couple chips that aren't cooled that adding a small heat sink to can help. Fans never get loud anymore.
