    An i5 12500H would be better than this CPU. Also, RTX3060 could use some 140W, because at 105W it won't be that much better than a 3050Ti. Not a great deal if you ask me.
    ·
    At this price, you definitely want to wait for a Lenovo Legion or get a Gigabyte A5 K1 straight away. Both are 130-140W. The CPU may not be last gen, but a 5800H will still do just fine for gaming. For creativity however, the additional cores on 12500H may be worth it. So, at the end of the day, you gotta choose with respect to your own usage case.

    I repair laptops and these Asus tuf laptops seem to have a high failure rate of their voltage transformers and will just stop charging completely.. Tends to happen after a few years of use, which sucks because they only have a year warranty. Beware.

    A decent deal overall, if you're planning to use external monitor. Out of three LCD panel options, namely

    - FHD 144Hz with 300+ nits of brightness and 65% sRGB colors;
    - FHD 300Hz 3ms with 300+ nits of brightness and 100% sRGB colors;
    - QHD 165Hz 3ms with 350+ nits of brightness and 100% DCI-P3 colors

    (source: https://www.ultrabookreview.com/5...view-2022/), this SKU comes with the worst available, low color gamut panel. Even a midrange FHD option would make this laptop far more attractive for use on its own.

    That said, a 12th gen i7 H series CPU, RTX 3060 and 16GB DDR5 is not bad at all in this price range. Self-cleaning fans, TB4, WiFi 6 and BT 5.2 are a nice bonus on top.

    I did see a comparison of a 85w 3050Ti vs a 105w 3060 and there was still a reasonable difference. I think it was still showing 20-30% gains, vs the 40-50% of a 130w 3060.

    Mobile GPU's is like the Wild West!

    Yea I was considering scooping up a Ideapad Gaming 3 with the 3060 when that comes out as those are105w but still way better than the 3050ti. I'd LOVE a non-pro Legion 5 with a 3060 at a reasonable price but no where to be found. They were on sale in the 800's in June and 9's in July.

    I'm pretty sure it does better in most multicore operations, even if marginally. But an objective comparison would require using the exact same laptop, with the same cooling, RAM etc. Keep in mind that efficiency cores are roughly on par with Skylake. Alder Lake cores are not twice as fast as Skylake cores, and a 200Mhz boost is unlikely to be able to make up for that.

    If you decide to dig up further information, look for lengthy benchmarks, otherwise you'll be seeing unsustainable turbo boost figures.

    I had this laptop for a week and the Asus TUF gaming and returned the dash. The screen is terrible and asus' software seemed very buggy. Feels like it could become an expensive, useless brick. TUF gaming 300hz screen is great BTW.

    How about the 3070 version?
    Per ASUS's post on the question section "The TGP on the RTX 3070 GPU is 115 watts and dynamic boost is 25 watts."
    I just got it from Best Buy when it was on sale for for $1300. Did I get ripped off?
    Use case is engineering school - CAD software, Matlab, etc.. Monitor wasn't critical, but weight was a big factor.

    If you're planning to use external monitor, don't get a thermally choked low wattage chassis such as the tuf dash, the 144hz display is the most popular, Asus and MSI are most famous for using horrific displays

    The wattage is the same as the 3060 as far as I know, quite low, which display, 300hz? I wouldn't recommend this chassis, it just does not have a good history

    144hz. But what about the 8Gb VRAM? Doesn't that also help?
