what kinds of workloads are you running? I bought the exact same asus laptop to be a portable gaming machine, but I've been surprised at how nice it is for normal laptop stuff. unless I'm playing a game or compiling a large project, I just leave it in "silent" mode and never hear fans.
everything you say about the build quality is definitely true, but I couldn't find anything better that a) had a 3080/3070 and b) was actually in stock.
- kitsunesoba 5y agoIt was mainly gaming that would get it roaring, but compiling code among other things would spin the fans up a bit too. I didn’t put it in “silent” mode except when doing light things like web browsing because it felt like a waste of the hardware otherwise with how silent mode downclocks and limits boost speeds.
- leetcrew 5y agoI guess I rationalize that all the money went towards higher binned parts that at least clock a few hundred mhz higher than ultrabook parts in silent mode. but yeah I get that. glad you were able to find a machine you're happy with :)
