Hello! I'm undecided between the Acer Predator Helios 16, QHD+ 240hz, i9-13900HX, RTX4070 and the Asus Rog Strix G16, QHD+ 240hz, i9-13980HX, RTX 4070, both cost approximately the same price. Which one is more worth it?

I have this laptop, so far so good. Heavy and power hungry but since I have a small working space, this is a perfect desktop replacement for me.

Facts do not mean insult. Truth is more valuable. The fact that someone is offended does not change the essence of the matter - inattention to details betrays either the incompetence of the authors of the reviews and elementary negligence - and this, in turn, signals the value of such reviews. It's not the canary's fault in the mine that screams that everything has gone bad...

I don't think this strategy works to motivate authors to look into your arguments. I can understand why they are just ignored.

Quote Indeed because sRGB is still essential for most of work today. Not everything and everyone works already or even have displays for HDR, DPI or Adobe RGB. It is strange but a display might be too good if do not have a good sRGB capability.

And after all, this is not the first time I have written about this, i.e. the authors should have long ago paid attention to this apparent discrepancy between the data and reality and solved the problem at the root. Also, as I have been asking for a long time to post a full screenshot of the Cache and Memory test in AIDA64, moreover, when working in different performance profiles and on battery power. It's not hard to do, right? But it gives a lot of information about system latency and battery performance and in different profiles. It's also high time to post the results of 15-20 minutes of running in CBR15 for all available performance profiles from the manufacturer and from the battery. So that people see not cheating (due to the crazy insane "Turbo" / "Extreme" mode for laptops especially for Intel versions, etc. heresy, when VRMs burn out in 1-1.5 year intensive usage), but in normal modes (including battery operation), in which the laptop will be used 99% of the time. Color reproduction of panels greater than 100% sRGB should be carefully studied for the possibility of easy profile switching for working with software in sRGB / Rec.709, which does not work with icm profiles (and there are plenty of such software) and games that do not take into account work with a wide gamut panel. Such panels in reality create more problems in everyday life due to distorted colors (oversaturation most often) than they bring real benefits to the owners, except for specific work with color, for those who understand what they are dealing with. Today (and 15 years later!) only igpu from AMD and its video cards have an autocalibrator in sRGB space built into the drivers. Neither the Intel drivers nor the NVidia drivers have a built-in sRGB autocalibrator. Therefore, laptops without an AMD processor need to be tested much more thoroughly for problems with the correct display of sRGB / Rec.709 content on wide gamut panels.

The scoring system (not the author) gave it 89,5% to be precise and the final score consists of a lot of factors not just gpu-performance in native resolution. Yeah, the AIDA Memory write speeds are odd, dunno how this happened but I don't have the review sample on me anymore.
