HP Omen 15-DC0126TX
Asus Zephyrus M
AW15/17

No TB3:
MSI GE63/GE73 8RE - 120Hz TN, need calibration
MSI GP63 8RE - 120Hz TN, need calibration
Illegear Z7 (Quanta NL9U)
Illegear Raven Elite (TongFang GK5CN67) - fan noise a bit loud under load
Illegear Selenite (TongFang GK7CN6S) - fan noise a bit loud under load
Asus GL504GM
Asus GL703GM - 120Hz TN, need calibration
Lenovo Legion Y530 (customize) - OK-good build quality
Illegear Laguna (Quanta NL5C) - OK-good cooling (avoid 1070 model)
Illegear Onyx (TongFang GK5CN6Z) - loud fan noise, high surface temps under load (inner temps are fine though)

What's your overall thought on the Zephyrus M (1070 variant)? I'm eyeing to buy that laptop for quite awhile but hearing some bad things about it here and there.

Pros: Good build quality, good keyboard, excellent display, good cooling (for its size), great audio

Cons: Bad battery life (has Optimus switch), a bit heavy (for a thin gaming laptop), uses thermal paste on VRMs (common in Asus gaming laptops), bad 'chewing gum' stock paste, typical Asus QC

Would you recommend it? Are there more better laptop than Zephyrus M?
