What is your school computer?

Windows laptop. I teach computer science and my Assembly Language class literally can't be done on a Mac (mac students have to remote in to windows machines to do their work). Asus Zephyrus G16, never had an issue with it.

US price $1000 more than previous gen

Yap, a disappointment indeed. I imagine that now with the prices out a lot of the previous gen stock will sell out, as the price is way more competitive as of now. For the potential price of the 2026 RTX 5070ti model in Asus page (even $100 less) you can get the 2025 RTX 5080 with 64GB RAM and 2TB S

Guys tell me everything that you know about goodwill 🥲

Goodwill only happens when it has a commonly known manufacturing defect. That too when you tell them it is a manufacturing defect. If you aren’t aware of it then they will tell you too replace the motherboard. ASUS has one of the worst RMA support in India. I have zephyrus G16. My motherboard got bu
