Brief experience with PHNS16s
I bought the PH16s Al about 60 days ago and this is my honest review.
To start off, what this laptop offers for its price its simply jaw dropping. The CPU (ultra 9) and gpu (5070 ti) are powerhouses that will be able to complete all your regular tasks and gaming comfortably all games in high settings.
I myself play lots of cs2 and cyber punk and I capped the frames for each game at 120 fps and the temperatures for both CPU and GPU are below 70 C.
For Cyberpunk 2077 the GPU sits in the 50s at perfomance mode and a laptop cooler which is amazing.
In terms of YouTube and staying idle you can expect 50c temperatures for both and everything else is amazing. Now for the bad part. The first model i bought was running perfect temperatures and frames until it started randomly rebooting for error 0x116 (happened twice) and because i was still in the return window i replaced for a second unit.
Second unit right out of the box was giving idle temps of 77C and temps of 94c just downloading a game. For obvious reasons I was decided to replace it since it came defective. Before going to the store i was between a Asus TUF A16 or just giving the Predator a third a final try. Here i am with my third model and everything so far is looking great.
To conclude, i will not lie as i am feeling a bit nervous/ skepticalss about this third unit and hopefully it will work as intented. Let me know if you guys want me to keep you posted and the settings i currently have to lower your temps!
