Pros and Cons

Honor MagicBook X 16

Strengths

The laptop has excellent build quality with no flexors on the magnesium alloy chassis.
It has a very reasonable weight of 1.75 kilograms similar to the competition.
You get a really nice slim bezel, 16 by 10 aspect ratio, 16 inch IPS display that pushes a 1920 by 1200 pixel resolution and covers 100% of the sRGB color space.
The display has up to 300 nits of brightness which is sufficient for working indoors.
You get a fingerprint reader embedded on the power button for Biometrics authentication.
Productivity users will appreciate the Magic Book X16 keyboard as it comes with a very spacious number pad and large keycaps for comfortable typing experience.
The laptop performs well and I never hear the fans kick in even when running multiple browser tabs, making it a very pleasant experience to work on.

Weaknesses

The display bezel webcam is a pretty underwhelming 720p camera with no IR sensor for facial recognition.
The backspace, enter, and right shift key are shrunken in size which might not be ideal for some users.
The trackpad isn't as large as I would like it to be but tracks well enough that doesn't force me to use an external Mouse.
Battery life is a far cry from what the company claims with only up to 4 hours of usage on a single charge.
The side panel feature can be accessed by pressing the function plus f11 key which might require some getting used to.

Asus ROG Strix G17 G713R

Strengths

The laptop has a powerful RTX 3080 TI with 150 watts of TGP, making it a beast for gaming.
The battery life is outstanding, lasting around 12 hours of web browsing or nearly 10 hours of video playback on a single charge.
The 360hz display offers crazy quick pixel response times and good contrast ratio, making it ideal for gaming.
The laptop comes with two DDR5 RAM slots, which are 50% faster in writing data compared to the DDR4 RAM in last year's model.
The liquid metal compound used for cooling the CPU is an upgrade over previous models, keeping the keyboard well-insulated and cool.

Weaknesses

The laptop weighs between 2.5-2.8 kilos due to the extra heat pipes in more powerful setups, which might be a drawback for some users.
There's no camera above the display, but this is traded off for the mux switch, which allows direct communication between the graphics card and screen.
The laptop can get warm, with the keyboard reaching 39 degrees after over 30 minutes of gameplay.
The lack of a significant design change compared to previous models might be a letdown for some users.
There's no information on the price of the top-tier configuration, which might be a concern for budget-conscious buyers.
