Hey all,
I have seen a lot of posts recently, some from prospective buyers, wanting experiences with FW16. Rather than typing the same or similar comment a lot of times, I figured I'd share my perspective as a Batch 3 owner who has been daily driving my FW16 for over 2 years now.
Config:
7840HS
64 GB RAM - GSkill Ripjaws 5600 MT/s @CL40
4 TB Samsung 990 Pro
7700S gen 1 (I also have the default shell)
Windows 11 (I know, I know...)
I'm a teacher and use it for everything at work, plus as my laptop at home (I also have a desktop PC).
I am a gamer, primarily competitive FPS titles (Valorant, Overwatch, Helldivers 2, Deep Rock Galactic). I typically use it without the graphics card installed, but I have done several long and demanding gaming sessions over the years with the graphics card and with the integrated graphics.
I also use it for music notation with Dorico, Musescore, and Finale.
Overall I would say I am very happy with it, but it does have some shortcomings--mostly in battery life and build quality.
AMA!
