Sup guys, should I buy a used Asus ROG zephyrus M16, slightly used, in good condition, for $1375. I want durability and performance gaming laptop, after my Lenovo Legion 5, (motherboard dead), what do you think?
Hello guys,
I bought this gu604vi recently and when I was checking the internals I saw that the 8-pin battery connector has been ripped off
Is it really bad or is it fixable?
And thanks
Hey y’all,
I bought this gaming laptop in 2022, haven’t had much time for pc gaming, but I will say that the factory installed 512GB went very quickly. It’s not filled to the brim, but a second drive is necessary to hold larger games. I only have about 70gb left. I’ve been looking and found a 2TB sn850x for $300. I’ve been reading a bit and everywhere it says that I should install it with a thermal pad.
I’m not a computer tech, but generally trust what seems to be sound advice when I see it many times online.
Wondering if I bought too high-end, if I should return it and look for sn770 or sn7100. I see a lot of YouTube videos of folks using Samsung 990 pro.
Just wanted to get y’all’s thoughts on it- is it an easy install, is there anything you would recommend.
I bought this 2023 m16 as used working good i used it for the first day and it was working like a beast but then the second day it decided to freeze up every time i cant even use it for more than 5 mins without freezing
I used another nvme
Tried other ram
Clean installed windows 2 times off of 2 different drives
Doesnt freeze in bios
Sometimes freezes in recovery mode
Please if have any questions answer and if this has happened to anyone i beg of you tell me because its finals month i need this to work ASAP
I am losing sanity
Edit: something very important i forgot to mentions is that my drive response time sometimes spikes to 4000ms and ive seen it as high as 16000ms
Tried to put on PTM and add more putty, but I put to much and while trying to remove it, i got a bunch of putty stuck in between the VRAM chips. Should i try to remove it or am I good? Is this too much? First time applying putty lol
Hey everyone,
I’m trying to figure out a fair trad or cash value for my laptop before listing it or trading it for a MacBook.
Specs:
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024)
Intel Core Ultra 9 (i9-class)
RTX 4070 8GB
16GB RAM
1TB SSD
16” 2.5K OLED 240Hz
Comes with original box + charger
Condition:
Fully functional, no performance issues
Small cosmetic dent on front shell (purely cosmetic)
Well maintained, clean overall
I’m mainly looking to trade into a MacBook Pro (24GB RAM configs like M4/M5 Pro), but I’m unsure what a fair trade value is for my current laptop.
What would you value this at in today’s market?
And what would a fair MacBook trade equivalent be?
Appreciate any input.
For context I don't really use this laptop anymore, used to game on it but now I've moved over to mainly playing switch games. I have an M1 2020 right now, but looking to upgrade it since recently its battery is starting to deteriorate.
