ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 vs Lenovo LOQ 15

“I experience microfreezing during light tasks like watching a movie in the Windows Media Player on battery. Of course, stuff like Armoury Crate and everything else is uninstalled, G-Helper only and temps are below 50 when it happens. So no, Zephyrus G16 is very much affected by all the bloat Asus left in UEFI/firmware. Research like this, tho, usually leads to faster resolution of problems like these”

“Desktops are always superior to laptops in terms of price and specs But when you think about the bundle you get with a laptop, it starts to make sense. I have owned laptops since I was 9 and I'm pretty much sure that I overloaded each ThinkPad, each Dell and now the Legion I own (but I'm more delicate now to my tech). None died under proper maintenance and monitoring. The thing is that LOQs had a ton of problems regarding the motherboard and hardware failures due to 1. Intel's problem with 13/14th then IA VCC or basically Package Voltage going over 1.4v which degraded the CPU like a poison silently. (Got patched in Aug/Nov 2024 I don't remember) 2. Lenovo has QC problems and still does for budget sections of anything that isn't a ThinkPad or a Legion 7/9 3. It's a lottery.”
