Blue screened once within the first 3 weeks [Bad]
Twice, second time was particularly connecting usbc-HDMI
Slight blur of 1080p content [Bad]
High DPI display [Mixed]
Stellaris
Battery ~2hrs on default. More obv on battery mode [Bad]
Default Power settings popping up on the screen [Bad]
Keyboard layout, incline, colors [Mixed]
No Printscreen?
Power Lights [Mixed]
Power Cable [Mixed]
If wall socket is on the right even a low desk would be short. Put adapter on the desk
Ethernet on USB-C [Mixed]
Wireless internet [Bad]
HDMI audio [Only 1 on USB-C]
Opening the lid [Mixed]
Screen ring, colors, [Mixed]
Cyberpunk [Mixed playable at maxed, great at high]
Multiple times had to relaunch, performance subpar, relaunch performance stutter free. Happens with a couple other games as well and something as simple as Word where the letters I typed takes seconds to show up
Plastic case scratched in suitcase, fingerprints aren’t too bad [Mixed]
Temperature [Great]
Camera quality [Good]
Fan noise [Good]
The whine can exist occasionally, and the fan ramping up and down when the temperature is just around where it should come on, then it cools, turns off, computer heats up it turns on etc
The scroll wheel is a thing of beauty, selecting volume, fan speed etc makes intuitive sense [Good]
Video Render, 10 minute video encode in ~6-8 minutes [Good]
Dolby Access, I like movie settings. Louder and fuller [Good]
Disk Speed [Good 2GBps]
Ports [Good], HDMI also does no audio, only one of the USB-C
Blue screened while making this without plugging in a device
3D audio in Valorant [Good]

Using my Zephyrus M16, i had the same issue with my cpu usage or fans going on constantly and it was because of turbo/high performance power settings i had it on. Changed it to balanced and turned the maximum processing state to 99% from 100% and it only uses the amount of cpu that the apps need and not more. Especially gaming this was really helpful because with the M16 these fans can sound like a damn jet taking off lol Nice review!
