$4500? Plastic shell? To keep the cost down? C'mon man...letting them slide on cheap build quality ain't you Ed. The build quality of a $300 laptop on something that costs this much is blasphemy. It's clear that the plastic isn't to keep costs down, it's to maximize profits.

Nice laptop. I'm leaning toward the Stix scar 18". I would prefer a mini-LED for that better blooming control and HDR punch.
@MRSYDUCKK
so fire. I love your videos TechSource. :trophy-yellow-smiling:
@SonicDavid
Isn’t the 5090 on the laptop not equivalent to the pc graphics card?
@Sunder896
FINALLY, someones saying it! 14:33 this is the sad state of this country right now, where a gaming laptop is a better deal than building your own PC!
@akshay5432
Sad reality regarding the tariffs and building your own pc but I 100% agree with you on that one Ed.
@rahulbhati5410
Ed please use cinebench benchmark next time, want to see the cpu score and how hot the cpu can get on full load, during gaming its only 50% utlized at most!
@tadhaharmit_07
Watching this video brought back so many memories of watching your old reviews, you should def do more of these technical pieces!
@breatheair4682

@dipakh3j2jy20
Kudos to ROG for giving us an easy to remove the rear cover for upgrades! All the other brands should copy this!
@MV..gaming1979
Was litterally shopping around for a gaming laptop when this video popped up on my feed!
@simransandhu7151
Couldn't agree more with the outro. Well said
@Decor_624

I bought the Asus G16 285 RTX 5090. It's not meant for long gaming sessions. My machine kept overheating and crashing so it had to be returned back. I exchanged it with the SCAR 18 275HX RTX 5090 which be delivered in a couple of days. My current desktop PC is an Intel 285k RTX 5090. I'm not a computer review person but the difference between a laptop 285h rtx 5090 and desktop 285k 5090 is huge. The desktop is over double the speed. One test i did recently was 3Dmark. The benchmark was timespy extreme and the 5090 285h laptop achieved a score of 9,020 and my desktop 285k 5090 got 22,402. Please note my computers have apps running in the background for my personal uae and it's not a clean setup meant for juat benchmarks.
@JumpmansAdventures
Thanks for making such great videos, and inspiring me to upgrade my setup!
@AliArghavan
00:40 laptop 5090 is basically a 5080. Thanks for the ad
@jaimevasquez8651
As a truck driver this laptop is perfect. I’ll be definitely getting this masterpiece
@rccosplay3249
I've always knew the day would come that a laptop can play MSFS on high settings with decent FPS and little to no stuttering. Go Asus, Also the MSI raider 18" is great with a intel CPU and Nvidia GPU 5080 as well as 64GB DDR7 high speed 6400 RAM. I've tested both, and both are a desktop replacement for sure.
