  Is this better bang for buck than one of those legion 5 laptops? Does anyone have experience with the screen quality?

  I brought the 17" version of this with the same exact specs. I also have the Legion 5 with the same specs.

  The Asus:

  Pros:
  Keyboard is great to type with
  Battery life
  Build quality

  Cons:
  Screen is 65% sRGB
  250nits (I don't think it's too bad but others think differently)
  Thermals - Legion 5 runs cooler
  No MUX switch or Advance Optimus

  Between the two, I would get Lenovo Legion 5 or the Kraken laptops:

  The Asus is used by my son to play Minecraft and Ark with. It runs fine and all, my only complaint is the screen. If only colours were more vibrant (95+ sRGB). The Legion runs around 7-10c cooler on the CPU side, but is at lower clocks 3.2ghz vs 3.9ghz.

      If it's mainly reports/meetings, don't get a gaming laptop, the webcam in them are s$&t.

      My wife has an Asus Zenbook UM425. 4500U 8GB DDR4, 512GB. Battery lasts all day and half of the next day. 300nit screen 99% sRGB, amazing sound - speakers are the best and clearest I've heard and webcam is clear.

      I also purchased a Dell 2-1 for my nephew:

      He using it for VCE year 12 next year. Been happy with it's performance and screen. Battery life get him through school day with 20-30% left.

  Would much prefer an Acer Nitro (i5 11400H / RTX 3060 / 8GB / 512GB) for $1196 on sale at HN for just gaming use, would deliver similar if not slightly better gaming performance than this asus for hundreds of dollars less once upgraded to 16GB ram.

      When I opened the package I found a $100 wine gift card, also there's a promo running till February to claim 2 games.
