ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16

It is one of the good models in the Zephyrus. And the 16 inch is new line of the screen size from the ASUS these days. 

The unboxing and the initial booting shows some really good points of this model.

The problem with this laptop is that one ram is soldered and you can not get proper dual channel. The weird engineering… like 8 gig ram is soldered so you only can upgrade the seasons one and will end up having, more memory in one channel and it messes up the gaming performance. Gaming laptops consistently seem like the worst investment someone can make. They always look so cheap and slapped together. Why do people spend 3k+ on machines like this? Do you HAVE to game even when you leave the house?

Yes that limits you with either upto 32 limitation and under. I know this has been the case with ASUS TUF models too. That is one reason I am stuck with 24GB on my laptop too.

Well, it does still give you dual memory channel if you upgrade the ram yourself and that's way better than other brands such as Lenovo and Acer whose RAM can't be upgraded by yourself.

Either way though most of ASUS TUF models have memory capped at the 32 GB on the board. You may have to try out their ROG series for the 64 GB limit or MSI laptops if you want to push even further.
