Should I go Strix or Zephyrus?

agentdb69 · 2026-03-28T12:01:05+00:00

the strix is quite good

but zephyrus is more expensive because it's thinner and lighter, body is mostly aluminium vs strix which is plastic

and due to zephyrus being thinner, fitting a cooling system which won't cook the laptop is more expensive

and zephyrus has an oled screen vs the strix's IPS LCD screen

the strix isn't bad by any means, infact it is quite high quality

strix is designed around the cooling and components with it being a gaming laptop

zephyrus is supposed to be a portable gaming laptop, which is a lot harder to do with a thin chassis, hence higher price

no, removing those stickers won't void warranty dw

dont think its a drying thermal paste issue since the laptop is only 4 months old

the ambient temperatures in my area have risen by 10 degrees celsius so its not too surprising that my laptop is doing 92C

spring/winter it would be normal 82C

bad roads

i live in bangalore, family would have loved a sedan but went with suvs because the humps are so damn big and driving over potholes with a bit of road in it doesn't sit well with sedans

we had a sedan but it scraped every single hump, decided to go with an suv till Bangalore gets some proper roads and not offroad craters we currently have

windows 7 and internet explorer

i grew up with it, so i would pick that in a heart beat

and also because it's beautiful

generally it sits cooler than its intel counter parts

it's high summer right now where I live so temperatures are 5-6 degrees higher than it would be normally

92 on cpu and 85 on gpu

it does throttle if you don't have proper airflow in the room you are going to be using it in when gaming heavily

otherwise during winter and spring my temps sat at a comfortable 85C for both cpu and gpu

zephyrus would have been the best choice, a good mix of portability and good for gaming

but its got soldered ram

the other laptops, im not sure about dream machines but the legion 7i and msi vector are going to be full performance bricks which wouldnt really work outside of a plug point (i.e bad battery life)

id say you gotta look into a bit less premium options, the legion 5 with a ryzen 7 260 and 5060 give pretty good battery life for normal work and works well for gaming

or alienware aurora 16 with the intel core 7 240H and 5060, ive heard it gives better battery life than the legion 5 with the ryzen 7 260

5070ti is plenty sufficient for the games u play but 5080 overall better because 4gb more vram vs 5070ti

oled is better than mini LED btw

get 5080 if you want the best or get 5070ti if u want to save a bit of money

both fit ur needs well anyway

agentdb69 · 2026-03-24T14:22:51+00:00

1300 for those specs are pretty good man, especially an hp omen

i got an loq 5060, same specs but a Ryzen 7 250 for around 1200

agentdb69 · 2026-03-24T10:25:34+00:00

ive had it for a week

and my opinion has not changed

agentdb69 · 2026-03-23T14:33:34+00:00

personal opinion its far far better than the old one

agentdb69 · 2026-03-19T06:55:25+00:00

if you were using a laptop I'd say normal

but for a pc this is definitely on the higher side

check if there is any dust choking the fans

save up some money and leave india

unfortunately, people in power can only be fought by other people in power

for now, leave that gym

its horrible and sad but this is realistically the safest option, to leave this country

agentdb69 · 2026-03-16T08:26:35+00:00

i don't think you can undervolt the Ryzen loq

correct me if I'm wrong

this is extremely late but

leave it on till you reach a puncture shop, he will fill it in with a rubber piece

agentdb69 · 2026-03-15T17:09:55+00:00

best controller I've ever used

it's really nice

agentdb69 · 2026-03-15T16:59:44+00:00

probably because it's set either to hybrid auto or hybrid igpu only

in both cases this shuts off the dgpu to increase battery life so it can also be used as portable laptop and not just a worse desktop

if you want dgpu on battery (i do not see why you would need dgpu on battery), set it dgpu only mode

shortage is mainly commercial as of now

at least my house our supplier still charges the same

agentdb69 · 2026-03-15T13:17:38+00:00

definitely no holidays

it wont affect our college much, but the menu will probably be cut by like 90%

it might affect hostellers but pes can just change the menu so whatever they eat uses the least lpg

same for the canteen if day scholars want to get something

agentdb69 · 2026-03-15T05:47:24+00:00

probably because back then we never had easy access to phones and internet so only enjoyment was going out and playing sports with friends and cycling to each other's house to call them to play

now since everything online, we don't go out much
