Notes:
- Just to emphasize the display: if you need to do color-critical tasks, look into the 240Hz IPS option instead. That should have 100% sRGB coverage.
- Still talking to Asus about the thermals. Again they're fine, not that different from most gaming laptops actually, but the improvements I saw by opening those vents are bigger than Asus say it should be. I'll update when I learn more!
- Clarification: In testing, I use the "Turbo" preset for all performance benchmarks, assuming you want to get as much performance as possible there. I use the "Silent" preset (plus kb backlight off, display set to 180 nits) for all battery related testing.
- Many test results don't make it into the video to prevent clutter. If there are any questions, ask!
