        I wonder if these are refurbished and being passed off as new.

        • vid_ghost on 10/08/2022 - 21:59

          nope.. they are just doing this to help sell them.. all models that come with 16GB's are WAY overpriced.. you cant find a cheaper laptop with 16GBs

  • ChineseElectronics on 10/08/2022 - 17:56

    Terrible cooling system (similar to how the older Intel MacBook airs from 2018-2020) with the fan disconnected from the heatsink but otherwise good specs for the price and being an ASUS it should be a good reliable machine for years to come (assuming you don't have too many thermal problems).

      Unreliable in my experience. ASUS also have horrible post purchase customer care in my experience. I purchased a $2200 ASUS Zenbook 15 that completely died after 27 months. I tried to get them to cover it under ACL but they weren't having any of it. If I'd taken it to tribunal, I think I would have won but I just didn't have the time. Take out an extended warranty or buy another brand that values it's customers properly.

        I work at a tech retail store and of all the brands of laptops we sell, ASUS is the least returned and ASUS are pretty easy to work with.
        Obviously this is just from my experience however also my experience is much more than just one laptop, like yours.

        • Dano33 on 11/08/2022 - 19:47

          All brands of laptops fail but it's how brands respond that's important. ASUS couldn't have cared less that one of their premium products failed after just 27 months. Piss poor

    Is that a world record?
    "Covers only 53% of the sRGB color gamut"
    Almost halfway to being black and white relative to a basic decade old TV or monitor.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2022 - 18:17

      There are others being sold that are 45%.

      • Viper8 on 10/08/2022 - 18:20
        +6

        No. 45% is a common % for NTSC, which is equivalent to ~62% sRGB. You see this spec a lot in budget screens.
        FYI 72% NTSC is ~99% sRGB. This is the default for basic TV's and monitors and decent laptops.

          Thanks for explaining that mate.

      Is a 32 million color monitor twice as useful as a 16 million color monitor?

      • Viper8 on 10/08/2022 - 19:05

        That has nothing to do with colour gamut/ range/ volume.

        0% colour gamut = grey-scale or black and white with no reds, greens or blues whatsoever.

        I can have a colour table with over 1 billion unique values and still have rubbish gamut resulting in a dull grey image.

        The inverse would be incredibly vivid, bright and well, colourful colours, but with very distinct banding or contours due to a limited number of unique values.

        Even the cheapest screens have a sufficient number of colours for most applications these days. All cheap and some mid-range laptops however have very poor colour gamuts that negtively effect the viewing experience for literally anything that uses colour.

          Most people don't need high color accuracy, so saying the fact that it has half the gamut makes it half way to a black and white monitor is stupid.

          People who get high huffing spec sheets will absolutely care, but aside from that unless I'm doing photo or video editing I really don't get why it'd be half as useful to me.

          So. for epeen or editing, sure, for everyone else it's fine.

          • Viper8 on 10/08/2022 - 22:39

            @Joker042: Colour accuracy and colour gamut are two completely different things.

            Colour accuracy is how accurately colours can be produced that are within the screens gamut. For example does pure green display with a slight blue tinge, or does it display as pure green. It's really only important for photo/ film editing. Even a mediocre screen should be good enough for use after calibration for standard users.

            50% sRGB means you've literally lost half the colour range, and importantly its the more vivid, individual colours that go first. So bright green displays as a dull green, etc. You can't calibrate missing colours back in. It's instantly noticeable even just on the icons on the task bar.

            Colour gamut + peak brightness + contrast ratio are what collectively create amazing images that pop off the screen.

            @Joker042: This is such a terrible take it’s not funny. Sure what you said can apply to gamut’s above SRGB but SRGB is the lowest hanging fruit and it’s what everything was designed for at a minimum.

            At 50% SRGB you cannot remotely trust the color of what you are doing onscreen

            • initiateit on 12/08/2022 - 11:03

              @ShrewdBargin: Wait for the shock these kiddies get when they actually use a calibrated for print monitor.

              Why is it so dark? Turn up the brightness….

              • salc on 12/08/2022 - 18:24

                @initiateit: So for the layman, does that mean movies and images for your average consumer will be noticeably poor? Or will it be OK for photo and video viewing?

                • ShrewdBargin on 14/08/2022 - 01:24

                  @salc: No 50% SRGB is not remotely appropriate for anything involving colours or viewing, I’ve owned a crappy monitor like this and on light creams it would look orange… you get the idea

  • INeverPayFullPrice on 10/08/2022 - 18:38

    Wonder what's the battery life is like?

    Recommend for a uni student?

  • onegpt on 11/08/2022 - 10:46

    Also made in taiwan. you might already know this

    • salc on 11/08/2022 - 11:47

      How is that relevant? Is made in Taiwan better or worse than other countries?
