This laptop scream finding a solution looking for a problem to me. They decided to just use usb c and thus loose all the ports creative professionals need and then even include a clunky dongle that doesn't even have all the ports that are needed on there. It's also using last gen hardware and that is just stupid at this point. Asus even has the exclusive right to the amd hs cpu's for now so use it they are flat out better.

LOL. $10,000 MAC is terrible and you should build your own computer for less but $10,000 laptop is justified. I don't even like Apple but still.

It's almost like people fail to realize that designing something consuming this much power and outputting this much heat takes something called "time". I would bet the design for this started back around, or even before, the 8000 series CPUs, long before AMD released Zen 2 or started sampling it out.

yes the overall design takes time but motherboard isn't first on the list. the GPUs have only been out for about a year and half and given asus had launch 4000 laptops they knew about these chips

But why would you get this, as a content creator, over a MacBook Pro? Where the advantage of FCP outweighs better spec on Adobe which won't use the Quadros VRAM and doesn't use anything other than the normal GPU cores so you're paying a premium for stuff you'll never use. On top of that windows laptops have significantly worse performance when not plugged into the wall and have no battery if you're trying to do anything strenuous.

Dirty Windows Peasants :P ?

2/10 repairability score despite needing a special tool? What would it take for Alex to give it a 1/10? A laptop encased entirely in resin?

 

For what it's worth, my money is on the "special tool" being a normal tool with a bend in it, and they don't want people to know that and try to make one themselves

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ColinLTT
Thanks for the video but I've got two questions:
1. Why are you using an old metal shelf and fill the gap with some books for the presentation of a 10,000$ machine? It looks a teeny tiny bit dodgy. 😅

2. Where is the hot air going? The fans draw in cold air from the bottom, they're pushing it through the (titanium) heatsink and then? I don't see an exhaust or a slit at the top. The animation in ASUS' homepage just shows it with the back plate removed. It suggests the hot air is released at the top. But where?

But still - it's a niche product. You don't have 150 people working on this. It's completely different from a "standard" notebook design. They have to test it thoroughly and maybe they had to fix some issues and therefore postponed their schedule. With a 10th gen processor they probably had to change the mainboard and thus the full size vapor chamber. One of the reasons they didn't use an AMD CPU might be Thunderbolt and the development time they put into it already.

They showed it in the demo its the top of the case.

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.

Ok, so the hot air is exhausted at the front right above the display?

It goes all in with RAM, yet it only accumulates a 1TB SSD when there are higher-capacity options available.

From the looks of the rendering, the M.2 SSD should be easily replaceable once you opened the back plate (ok, you need a special tool for this).

I think that there are way too many "buts" in this laptop considering its price.

It's not like you have a choice if you really need a Quadro 6000 on the go.
