    Just wanted to know if it'd be possible for you to check out some laptops from Schenker or XMG while you're over there?

    Hmm... What about Amazon Germany website? I know I normally advise against buying laptops on there, but it may be worth a shot.

    Please do. They make damn fine laptops. They're ugly and bulky, but they get the job done. My brother in law strongly considered a Schenker or XMG laptop before deciding on building a gaming desktop.

    I don't want ugly, I want G15 but it gets too hot...but all gaming laptops do no?

    They do make some good looking ones. You just have to browse their models.

    Gaming laptops in general get pretty hot. But the problem with the G15 is that it gets hotter than normal and there is the way the heat is vented - right up into the display panel. @Laraib has an Asus Vivobook Gaming with this issue, but he has so far been getting by.

    I laugh at your plight @Laraib

    But, seriously though, how is the laptop holding up for you?

    It's better than i expected. It doesn't look bulky like a gaming laptop. Actually my cousin brought an Aspire 7 and it was a beefy boy compared to mine wrt thickness. If u have a fan on, you won't hear it's fans even when you're squeezing it's left nut and gaming hard. Fingerprint sensor is a little derpy. Only complaint is that some keys have started to get wobbly. How's yours holding up

    Air going into screen shouldn't be a problem also G15 has a bigger lower bezel so it's not actually on the screen, G14 is having that problem actually.

    Well my Aspire 7 is holding up nicely, especially on the cooling and performance front. And the "bulk" is not an issue since I upgraded from a Lenovo B490, which was bulky as heck even by 2012 standards.

    Are you sure that wouldn't cause screen bleeding issues? If not, then the G15 might be worth it. Only issues would be lack of webcam, partially soldered RAM, and under-volted RTX 3070 and 3080 Mobile GPUs (which means you won't get the performance you pay for). My advise to you is to get nothing over Ryzen 7 and RTX 3060 Mobile, since you're looking for casual gaming use only.

    From all the reviews, they all say that shouldn't be a problem even in a long term, G15 is getting updated this year, it's getting a webcam as well

    That's nice to hear. Hopefully it has a privacy shutter.

    My advice still stands though: Get the G15 with something like Ryzen 7 5800H and RTX 3060 only. You need nothing more. Heck, you could actually get by with Ryzen 5 5600H and RTX 3050 Ti. Make sure to get the 1 TB NVMe SSD iterations, and don't even bother with HDDs.

    The specs you should be aiming for should not be up for debate. Only the make and model.

    Ryzen 5/7 with RTX 3050 Mobile at least to RTX 3060 Mobile at most. 16 GB RAM in dual channel. 512 GB or 1 TB NVMe SSD. 1080p display. That's all.

    Yep! Playing currenty Sekiro without problems, thermals being in low 70's, when not playing it's around 50 degrees.

    When not playing it's in the 50s? What power plan? My laptop runs 39-45 when not playing.

    Performance but that's plugged, unpluged is 40ish

    Bruh... Keep it in balanced plan when plugged in and not gaming. If you have the slider type power plan bar, keep it at the second lowest or second highest level only when plugged in and not gaming.

    When it's plugged it's performance on default, when plugged out it's on silent

    Hmm...

    When unplugged there should be three or four tiers of power plan:
    1. Best battery life
    2. Better battery life
    3. Better performance
    4. Best performance

    When plugged in it should be just:
    1. Best battery life
    2. Better performance
    3. Best performance

    Just check.

    on asus is
    silent: low performance and no fan noise
    performance: balance and mid fan nose
    turbo: max performance in everything and mega fan nose

    I keep mine in peformance (balance) and serves me well
