“I am deciding between this the Asus m16 and Asus G15. Since I heard some early reviews saying the heat is aimed at the bottom of the screen in certain areas. Will this damage the screen over time since this is on the bottom and a high end display?”

I'm not sure why people on here say that the vents on the back (pointed at screen) are only for intake. I'd like to see where they're getting that information. The user manual for this laptop doesn't state that. There are plenty of videos on youtube where people are testing the thermals of the laptop. They have heat guns to show where the hot spots are, and those vents are one of the hottest points on the laptop. Also, as with most laptop design, cool air is pulled in from the bottom, and the vents on the side/back are almost always for blowing out hot hair.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Only time will tell. Some have said they had warping after about a year but others have had no issues. But yes, the vents on the back and sides are for exhaust, not intake. Intake is from the bottom only. I would definitely extend the warranty just in case.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Although only time will tell about the heat on the screen. But many YouTube reviewers were bringing up this point. (Your wonder if they all watch each other and take notes). But a few pointed out it's an intake and the heat on the screen is from the heat dissipating from the sides. My Dell XPS 15" screen gets rather hot to the touch when I am playing games and the fans are cranking. My guess (GUESS) is the heat isn't an issue.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The vents on the back/near the screen are Intake. it intakes air. Vents on the side blow out air. Some Heat comes out the back, but again I can't confirm if it will damage the display. So far its fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The vents in front of the screen are for intake and not exhaust. so the screen is safe.
