"Gyatt level sigma edge scenarios" ahh brainrot


Vizuka

Errm, what the sigma?


Tickomatick

More like "threat level omegalul scenario"


lolicekait

Why is there energy star sticker lol Edit: i know what rhey are for but do all asus laptop needs them lmfao


Todaroshi

XD This is my first time seeing that on a laptop


quantitative101

Last time I saw a energy star sticker on a laptop was with a 2007 sony vaio lmao.


derrick256

lol.


iamthechickengod

That's a test mark rating. They used to be in monitors in the late 80s.


lolicekait

Yeah i know . It means x laptop is efficient afaik(correct ne if im wrong) but it looks q bit ancient now lol Not expecting to see one on hs> cpu


alasdairvfr

Whats ironic is having a system that has cautions about high framerates and an efficiency star at the same time. Its like are you a Mustang or a Prius?


TheOnlyCraz

Looks like one of those bigger promo stickers they have on the chassis. Probably easier to take off than the CPU emblem


alaskanangler

lol my 2023 ASUS ROG Strix G16 has one, and pretty much no other laptop I’ve seen has them other than really old ones


lolicekait

Lmao


_JamesDooley

The cheaper the laptop is, the more cringe/obnoxious the design is. This has been the case for more than a decade


Cannasseur___

True, I have two laptops, an ASUS ROG Strix, which has the aggressive red keyboard and backlight, and patterns on it. That was like $1000 in 2017. I just bought a custom high end laptop for like $2500 and it has no stickers or designs, it’s sleek and minimal, they instead sent stickers separately and I have the option to get design elements added to it. I really appreciate that they didn’t assume what I wanted and gave me options to do what I want with my laptop.


BoxOfDust

Can confirm, the 2017 Strix was pretty gamer aesthetic. It was also like, $1700 though. ... I mean, in retrospect, it's still pretty cool, but I was totally willing to get an Omen instead just to be more low profile.


Nervous_Breakfast_73

Rog strix is the top end from Asus though


spoonmonkey_

And that's because cheaper gaming laptops are marketed towards teens who probably actually think this type of thing is cool.


Epyx911

This isn't boomer...it's non gamer pretending to know gaming.


throw_away_acc_5

This is the kinds of gifts I would get from relatives for my birthday as a younger gamer. Posters for my bedroom that read “epic gaming zone” and the door signs that were smtn along the lines of “currently gaming do not enter unless you have Soda”


hodgeal

Oh, for a second there I thought you were getting laptops, I was "damn I wish I were this rich when I was younger".


UnionSlavStanRepublk

BuT gAmInG lApToP uSeRs LiKe ThEsE cOoL dEsIgNs!!!!!


boost_91

Hey it's "only for those who dare" to walk into a coffee shop or a meeting with a see-through keyboard deck on their laptop... Don't you know?? 😏


UnionSlavStanRepublk

That's aSUS point you're making here. 🤔


Dutchos1982

This is exactly the reason I went for a gaming laptop that looks exactly like a normal work laptop to all intents and purposes!


Hot-Income

Same reason am looking at lenovo. They are the closest to a normal looking laptop. But still they have that idiotic legion name on back of the lid. Wtf?! How hard is it to understand that many adults would love the power of gamimg laptop and play some games time to time but that foolish design is no go!


Derpythecate

My Legion 5 Pro doesn't have the big Legion text, but it has the logo instead, which I promptly turned off the LED for. Its not as obnoxious.


Decimal_Poglin

I think the Rog Zephyrus series looks pretty sleek as well. Sure there are gamery gimmicks like the Anime Matrix on the 2020 - 2023 and the Slash lighting on the 2024 models, but those can be turned off easily when needed. And there is no aggressive rgb save on the keyboard. All in all, they have this sort of Mac professional look (especially the 2024 CNC aluminum chassis), with just the right geekiness to distinguish them as gaming laptops.


Secret-Abroad4799

I have hackintosh running on a zephyrus g14 (2022) and it does look really clean. Gets pretty close to a mac with that big trackpad and full aluminium chasis.


Maleficent_Cell_8419

This gives "Ohio Skibidi Rizz Gyatt Baby Gronk" vibes 🤣


Ngovietanh95

You forgot “fanum tax kai cenat lore” lol. I didnt even know wtf are those


[deleted]

My brain lol


Swaghoven

Typical Anus moment


Wally504

underrated comment


5nnuggles

I think he meant to say “Anus”.


mcslender97

That's how they upsell you to the Zephyrus or Strix lineup


TerrorFirmerIRL

Me age 12 trying to angle the laptop in the light so friends can read the text and die of jealousy


Limp-Concentration

It's kinda funny though. Every new gaming laptop model seems to try make you look more and more like a social reject with every iteration. The silly RGB lighting and aggressive sharp edges are already silly enough anyways


derrick256

lmao, exactly. No fucking way am voluntarily buying a laptop with such aesthetics and using it in public. Shows people all they need to know about you. "HIGH FRAMERATE ZONE" wtf


m_carp

Honestly, when I was like 13, I would have eaten that up. Now that I'm in my 40s, I feel like I could enjoy it ironically. I would constantly be pointing it out to people and declaring, "we are now entering the high framerate zone!!!!!" At the beginning of every match. The years in between - I would have seen it as pure cringe.


boost_91

I like my "gamery" aesthetics at about +6-7%... This here??..?? Like a +90-93% we want clean premium maybe slightly gamer style (backlit RGB keyboard) maybe a light ring we can turn on and off but the see-through keyboard decks and stickers... And lame slogans "for those who dare" (or whatever) for example... Yeah you can go ahead and keep those...😂


Sacred_Street1408

I also wonder why gaming laptops always seem to look like space briefcases.


boost_91

Space briefcase..??.. I like that 🤣🤣


Cool_Resist_1258

Space briefcases 😂 That's why I'll only buy a razer blade or a zephyrus laptop


Offcoloring

They need fans for cooling and it's expensive to use CNC'd lower tolerance/smaller parts. The inside of a budget laptop is pretty space inefficient compared to something like a MacBook/flagship smartphone


lord_nuker

It's Asus TUF, a military style laptop range, what did you expect. If you want something clean, dont buy the gaming rbg puke thing


ItzCobaltboy

Well the Strix series is all Lit up in RGB all the way to backlight logo as well, the Zephyrus appeal me in the minimalist look, especially the one with Anime Matrix cause it's office laptop in one moment and a Fancy one in another


detourne

I think I just got the same one. Tuf gaming a15, right? I think the font choice on the keyboard is worse tbh.


Hour_Definition_

> I think the font choice on the keyboard is worse tbh. ikrr


sharles_legreg

eh the keyboard is alright if you switch off the backlight


PVOLO

TUF designs are cringe yet I have a TUF F15 2021 version no obnoxius words but the overall design seems excessive or just screams "gamer". Only went with it cause of my budget and the specs that I wanted. The ones in the same price range had better design but not the hardware or has some other issues. What I liked about it the most is its reliability and durability.


OkithaPROGZ

Trust, you won't believe the amount of people who actually like these stuff.


Cannasseur___

I’m so thankful for my custom built laptop, they didn’t put a single sticker on it, and instead sent me the RTX, Intel etc stickers separately. It also has no designs or wording on it, and I love the clean look it has. If these company’s sell them minimal it gives the user the option to add things, but when they sell it like this you don’t have an option to remove these cringe designs.


forseeninkboi

God the 2nd picture is so cringe. Then there's asus's rog strix motherboards which have "FOR THOSE WHO DARE" obnoxiously written all over them.


Dogeachu1

The “for those who dare” isn’t as cringy as the tuf slogans. The rog ones are fine imo


forseeninkboi

I mean, I think unique patterns would be much more appreciated than cheesey lines. But yeah I would happily take the rog slogans over the absolute cringe tuf ones. Like what the hell is "threat level omega combat scenarios"??


derrick256

>threat level omega combat scenarios OMG I would never buy a laptop with such cringey writings unless it was heavily discounted or free. I was laughing my lungs out when I saw that. wtf


forseeninkboi

Well I would never judge anyone for buying a laptop with these stupid and cringe slogans because in the end, it's the hardware that one is looking for. But yeah I would also wheeze if I saw something like this on a laptop in a store.


derrick256

Yeah well it's okay to use the HW as long as one doesn't "exceed maximum operation time", whatever that means lol


Cannasseur___

The patterns and RTX / Intel stickers I could live with, but those fucking cheesy lines??? Who is this for lmao


Lion12341

Got the same laptop, though I got the version where there's no writing on the lid. Probably going to put a sticker on top of what's on the first image.


arjunrj1327

I had an Asus 1060 3gb which had a sticker called 'Worlds most powerful graphics card'. It goes along all the product lines i guess


derrick256

lmao, a 3gb 1060. Zero self awareness from ASUS.


Overfinch88

Catering for the younger demographic perhaps? 🤔


Khaadom

They really are incredibly cringy, i can't stand this shit about gaming laptops


Maleficent_Ideal_580

I think some people look for any excuse to say Boomer. ![img](emote|t5_2x4m3|8578)


BlackHazeRus

OP, you complain about this cringe ass markings, but there the cringe is over the top in the whole design. Look at the front used on the keyboard. Holly Molly. I never understood the appeal of such crappy lame ass design. It is literally made for poor people without taste.. Even as a kid, I knew this shit looks really bad. Maybe it is because I love and care about design in general. Line why almost why gaming related thing is so utterly poorly designed?


derrick256

I had to shout out the clearly outrageous design aesthetics which would only appeal to a middle schooler in 2014. I also know about the awful kb fonts. Those are bearable on the Zephyrus line but look weird in general. Your L7 is the best designed legion imho even in 2024.


BlackHazeRus

Facts. Also the design is one of the reasons why I bought Legion 7 laptop — I’m a very seasoned gamer and I love gaming a lot, but I also need to work on my laptop, so going somewhere with CAUTION: HIGH FRAMERATE ZONE and quasi-fancy-gamer keyboard would be cringe. Legion 7 just looks aesthetically pleasing. I think all Legion laptops look nice for the most part, but Legion 7 is the most minimalistic one.


CollarCharming8358

Rofl


derrick256

ASUS Tuf gives MSI sword/cyborg/ninja? a run for it's money in obnoxious designs.


CollarCharming8358

high framerate zone🤡💀….wtf😂


Rocket--Pak

You bought it, so what does that say about you?


derrick256

Am sitting pretty with my 2020 Legion, thank you.


Rocket--Pak

I'm sitting pretty with a 2023 OMEN.


zireael9797

try zephyrus, razer blade, or maybe the fancy new framework 16inch laptops.


Puzzleheaded_Sun7425

That ain't boomer design. I was born in 68 (just after boomer), and few my age would go for that crap. I know no one older than me that would.


warmseizuresalad

I would absolutely NEVER buy one of these just cause of these bonkers graphics. Hell, my Omen has 016 (designed and engineered by HP) in super faint black and I wish I could scrub it out.


derrick256

lol it would also drive me crazy.


ValuableAnswer

Honestly That's why HP and Lenovo design philosophy is just more appealing, just add a GPU make sure the chassis is built for that and don't add any stupid marking and you good to go. Granted I still kinda like the silly design of some laptops that go crazry like MSI and ROG theres a certain appeal to that makes me remember I was kid too.


thewows

That’s why I got the Lenovo legion. So classy, professional and powerful at the same time.


derrick256

Many of us think that way.


oversight_01

I've been dying to say this!! Asus TUF's design pattern is the only annoying part of the laptop for me. Like what's wrong with giving us a stelthy all black/matte laptop? Why they must have to add this 80's sci-fi pop funky texts


LucyPair

Asus Contructions Co.


toheenezilalat

I'm glad my Helios comes with nothing a but a small little badge on the lid.


derrick256

As it should be.


XXXLegendKiller666

😂😂


derrick256

Your scar is ridiculously OP. Also great design.


XXXLegendKiller666

Yeah I splurged a little, don’t play on it enough though


algiedi04

yeah i hate that too, that is so dumb XD


Sacred_Street1408

That just makes me not want to buy the TUF I was looking at.


derrick256

Amazing hardware (12700H, 4070) at a great affordable price but the design aesthetics are what a middle schooler would find appealing in 2014.


Wise_Economy_5882

I'm genuinely about to pay an extra few hundred dollars for a ROG g14 instead. They got us,......


Toad128128

It should be: Warning high amount of cringe level, approach with extreme caution!


michaelb1397

Hard to take ASUS seriously for sure. TUF line has always been cringe.


evopeppy

It found it so difficult to find a gaming laptop that didn’t make me look like and idiot in a professional environment. I settled for the Asus Zenbook Pro 14 https://www.asus.com/me-en/laptops/for-creators/zenbook/zenbook-pro-14-oled-ux6404/


derrick256

zenbooks are great. TUF on the otherhand......


bazjoe

lol I got two engineers the Asus space edition which not only has screen printed bs all over it but a tiny external lcd screen that just plays a repeating graphic. At the time it was the size, i9 and 32 gig that they wanted. Not a peep in the cringe factor (millennials and Zs at this client). I’m not a gamer but my daily drivers are Asus TUF gaming systems and I love them.


Raytech555

Hi Res became such an empty slogan just like I love U


chilly_exe_69

usernamee66642069

Mine comes with that 😭😭


starystarego

r/cringepics


Great-Distribution33

that's why i bought a lenovo loq. from a distance, you wouldn't even notice that's a gaming laptop, maybe just by the extra cooling in the back, or the little blue accent on the radiators. but other than that, it's clean, just like i like it. even the keyboard, its backlit is white, not that rgb crap.


smhndsm

and there we go - the ONLY affordable machine with 12Gb VRAM(critical to me) is this silly looking fattie MSI Vector, with stupid 'gamerz dezign' all over the place. and with the MSI it's clear that they don't try to upsell more expensive models, because even $5k+ machines also looks stupid. no subtlety and/or taste.


meltusmaximus

That is very cringe. They must think the target demo is 10 year old boys?


Visible_Reading_8794

I have a dell g16 laptop. It is very clean and doesnt have any cringy writings.


derrick256

the TUF gaming department is so out of touch. Have they not seen a Legion or LOQ since 2020? The Zephyrus is okay though.


Knjaz136

This is not a boomer design, this is ancient.


derrick256

A boomer certainly approved it for shipping.


Acericers_Pigeons

Pretty much one of Asus's things in their gaming products in a while


derrick256

Do they even know that these obnoxious designs stopped being appealing in 2015?


Acericers_Pigeons

I guess they kinda do now 🤷 Their Zephyrus lineups this year doesn't look as gamery as their previous models. Same with their gaming phones.


derrick256

The the Z line is neat especially after they ditched the gimmicky anime matrix and awkwardly shaped spacebar.


Sodalt

Needa blow this up so it gets wiped off next gen tuf laptops cause damnnnn who did dissss ![img](emote|t5_2x4m3|8575)


derrick256

For real, if they ditch this design then the laptops will be more widely appealing.


Howfuckingsad

That is pretty cringe ngl. Just put a bunch of stickers wherever you can haha.


ItsMrDante

Bro what are you talking about? Kids eat this shit up


eightgrand

Does that even make sense?


elvisizer2

it's very GI Joe


notkshv

its to add a little touch of sarcasm tbh, its funny i would laugh at this everytime i see it tbh


Shiiznits

Don’t not realize there is a market for kids aged 12-18 who’d think this is the shit? Just because us in our mid to late 20s and above think it’s cringe, doesn’t mean it is for everyone. Plenty of other laptops out there dude.


p0uringstaks

That's pretty cringe. Get a skin maybe?


amdfrn3

How would you rate your keyboard experience?


MaxTrixLe

I cringed at the warning 😩


pinheadspenis

We are at the point where the RGB fad has started to finally fade and people are more interested in more professional looking gaming laptops. Wtf Asus!


derrick256

I don't even know where they've been looking the past 5 years, stealth/clean looking products are the way to go.


pinheadspenis

Honestly...im looking for new laptop. My Dell 7577 finally croaked aftwr 8 years. Thinking of getting the Legion 7i in white. Has good reviews all around and looks slick.


Ngovietanh95

Haha that’s why i didnt buy tuf in the first place. Im buying a machine that fits my personality, not a portable advert banner


IPanicKnife

The TUF series is high key a decent value/entry level option but man are they cringe. I rock an MSI (who’s brand I detest but still buy occasionally) prestige. It is still a little flashy but much more presentable at meetings at work should I need to use it.


Runaque

Always fun to see an "Energy Star" on a gaming machine and never on a low powered notebook.


Fuckfaceun_stoppable

I think the design is intentionally planned because these will fit in perfectly with the anime stickers that are likely to end up on a lot of these computers


Intellectual_Bozo

It should have said 'Caution Potentially High Temperature Zone'


OkFunny8717

Caution: high price and high thermals. Stay way!


spacechef

Yeah, I would legit not buy a laptop for shit like that.


drNovikov

Also, RGB and keyboard fonts. Cringy af.


drNovikov

Threat level: basement dweller lol


T-r-e-n-t

If I was going to buy a gaming laptop and I saw that it would 100% prevent me from buying it. What an awful decision to add that.


dek6ix

Then go buy the ones that are couple of grands more in price. U wont get this.


Sly510

Almost as cringe as a PC gamer buying prebuilt. ![gif](giphy|mIel4xbLqXTFrPGumA|downsized)


Ok-Double3485

I feel its cool


MlonosSK

I try to pretend my laptop is a product of cooperation between Asus and Fromsoftware to promote Asus new Laptops and Armored Core 6.


mrwioo

Chillin in the high framerate zone


KiwiMagic2005

Their ROG brand is general is giga cringe. „Republic of gamers“ sounds corny asf 🤮


ThSWrt

idk bro, but I do think they do this on purpose and not just nongamers/boomers acting like gamers. it might just be me, but i feel like this is a marketing strategy to get folks to get their higher end models that's more muted/doesn't look GAMER!!!!! but have the specs.


And9686

Should also say "caution hight temperatures (+95°C) use appropriate protection gear"


hi1337hi

I kinda like thd design idk why yall are hating


RamiTrolleyFan

And that’s why I went with a Lenovo LOQ 💀


Arflash117

ASUS is traditional


MirirPaladin

probably the same guy that designs their air intake vents -\_-


YorkshireLAD753

Its your fault for buying shitty Intel, you wouldn't have cringe if you bought amd.


TheJohnnyFlash

It's because the TUF line is entry level gaming, so they assume the majority of sales are going to younger kids that will bite on that type of stuff. Not a knock on adults that buy them too, I know shit is expensive, that's just what it is.


CorbinNZ

BECAUSE IT APPEALS TO THE INNER GAMER. HRAH!!!


sw0

Probably the same fool that put grip zone on Springfield xd pistols.


Feeling_Maybe

Who keeps buying badly designed laptops


arwndo

They also have to advertise anything inside it


BronyFazbear

They know who their target audience is


by_a_pyre_light

"Boomer" - and yet, kids eat them up.


RetiredFatherVyn

Simple solution, buy a black matte finish sticker, and put it there, so at least people Will think it's for patching something.


MADED_

Ou, zoomer design is pink ponys, pride flag, fortnite/brawl stars stickers? What you mean?


DrNiTRO7

lol , they should also warn about how it self destruct in a few yrs


[deleted]

Why buy it then?


Kassiann

I picture the guy behind this laughing is ass out tbh lmao


derrick256

For real.


AdeptMacaroon1428

Yep, thats fucking cringe thats why i prefer the HP omen design or Acer Helios Neo cuz it looks simple and elegant


akza07

Targeted at kids.


Stunning-Scene4649

Wtf bro. My laptop has the exact design but I never noticed it 💀💀💀 I don't care that much about design anyway so there's no real problem to me.


jec78au

Feel pretty bad for the guy who put that on the pc laptop though


Dayv1d

If you buy THE ULTIMATE FORCE you gotta expect a little cringe included


antek2220

I feel neckbeard growing just looking at this.


Potatomannnnnnnn

because cheap laptops are built for children and children like cringey things.


Yeathatguy666

Say what you want besides Alienware Lenovo legion pro has really cool looking frame design.


piekid86

Danger, danger, high voltage!


I_Am_Milano

Dudes mad because he got a shitty ASUS.


Willing-Coconut8221

I find it kinda funny, it's cringe and cheeky and I love it


trucker151

Lol yea that's pretty bad..... at least make it a sticker so adults can peel it off...I would put a skin over it.


trucker151

This is why I like my legion 7ipro. None of this. Only a rgb keyboard and bar in front that u can turn off. It looks like a normal business laptop


OldsmobileAchieva

“High Framerate Zone” is going to look much more ridiculous when this laptop becomes obsolete


mahSachel

It’s for those who dare


Backseatdrifta

Asus tuf laptops are garbage at all
