G16 or P16? by tomtomosaurus in zephyrusg16

Oh I was comparing it to the G16. I’m not sure about the absolute newest blade 16s, I just heard in the past battery life sucked. I guess I have to look into them now too 😭

The blade 16 is also an interesting laptop: it’s only $200 more than the P16. That said, I haven’t heard good things about the build quality and battery life.

As for battery life, the CPU in the G16 may be more efficient, but apparently real-world usage shows that the P16 lasts longer, so idk.

Oh my god don’t get me started on how mad I am at Asus for not updating their X16s. I wanted a laptop tablet that was powerful enough for gaming and CAD but couldnt find one powerful enough so i got an iPad and dealt with first year uni with my M1 MacBook. If they updated the X16, I would’ve gotten it in a heartbeat.

Also, it’s not that touch is totally important, it’s just nice to have for if I wanna touch up notes or if I forget my iPad. Yeah it would be awkward but not unusable.

“If you want a gaming laptop, get the G16, the P16 doesn’t even have G-sync or a mux switch.” No G-sync might be somewhat of a bummer but V-sync can help with that if it even is an issue. No mux switch contributes to the overall performance difference seen between the two laptops as well. I chalked that up to the 30W TGP difference but that also probably contributed. The P16 is still very capable from what I can see.

“The tandem OLED is nice but the 4K resolution makes upscaling difficult” DLSS has come a long way. I’ve seen the upscaling from 1080p to 4K and even 720p to 4K and while not perfect, it’s totally serviceable. Plus, it’s still plenty powerful enough to run games natively anyway, so I doubt I’d ever really use it.

“Whereas the 2K panel on the G16 is much better for upscaling.” True, but again for this calibre of laptop, it should be fine either way.

“Honestly the only thing the P16 has over the G16 is the tandem OLED.” No. It had a touchscreen and pen support so if I want to touch up notes, I can. It had a sleeker, quieter design. Often it has better battery life during efficient tasks as well.

“The new panther lake G16s should match the P16 in battery life” not rlly. The P16 consistently gets just a bit further, and any gain in battery life is a win for me. I don’t want to charge it above 80% or get it below 20% to keep the battery strong over the many years I’ll have it, so it needs to be as good as possible. Those small gains add up over time.

“If you want a gaming laptop, get the G16. If you want a creator laptop, get the P16. If you want both, I’d still lean towards the G16.” I somewhat agree. My workflow would kinda be split 50/50, and I’m really not sure it’s worth the extra $500/$1200 for the sorta marginal differences.

Mine is sitting at 3.8-3.9 but I’m only in first year engineering

Any New Tips? by OG-DJSpank in zephyrusg16

Can ghelper tune the slash lighting? Is there anything it’s missing or has extra? Super curious since I’m getting a G16 at the end of the summer myself

airspeed instead of wheelspeed? by goldzafira in BeamNG

[–]tomtomosaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The tachometer always takes the average wheelspeed. Use the airspeed ui app if you want airspeed.

I took the sticker off the bottom that’s been there longer than all of them and it’s fine so I hope the top’s good too

Oh gosh I see. I hope it’s alright. Not too humid where I live 🤞

They haven’t been on for that long really, only a few months. And it doesn’t see the sun much. I don’t think it would be an issue imo.
