Videos for April 17th - 23rd

Added 2023-04-17 05:45:56 +0000 UTC

Another week, another couple of videos coming your way!

18th: Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Review
20th: ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED Overview

Both of those videos are done, so this week I'll be working on the ASUS Zephyrus M16 with the goal of having the review of that laptop available next week.

I'll also be continuing a big video I'm working on that's still a few weeks away. Basically I'll be looking at RTX 4050/4060/4070 laptop performance in 10 games with the GPUs running between 40W and 140W in 10W increments.

It's a lot of work, but the goal is to find out whether high wattage laptop GPUs actually offer any benefit, because as I've mentioned in the MSI GP77 review, the 4060 maxed out at 100W in most workloads, despite 140W technically being possible.

So far I've tested the 4060, today I started the 4050, then I'll do the 4070 after and decide if it's worth doing the 4080 just to show that it doesn't have this voltage limit.

Otherwise we've still got the ASUS Scar 17, Aorus 17X, Aero 16, XMG Neo 16, and the Nitro 5 with 4050 I bought from the US to cover, so a lot to work through. I think the ASUS Scar 16 is arriving this week too, not 100% on the specs, but might be more mid-range with 4060.

I also booked flights from Australia to Taiwan next month for Computex. Both me and my partner (Kalliste, if you're in Discord) will be going for about 6 days, so hopefully that will be a good time with some interesting videos!
