    Would an i5-10300h/RTX 3060 combination be better than these, for $1500?

    • Dmz111 on 26/04/2021 - 21:50
      +1

      Yep. 3060 will smash the previous gen 2060 (assuming you are gaming). Few games make use of a fancy multi-core cpu. If you are not gaming, why are you considering this?

    • OnlineShopper123 on 26/04/2021 - 21:56

      This is a laptop tho, but yea definitely the combo would shit on this "2060 MAXQ" laptop

    • Brrrrt on 26/04/2021 - 22:01
      +2

      Gaming wise definitely, a 3060 even at 80w is far better than a mxq 2060, this have a better CPU but Im pretty sure you are buying it for gaming anyways, the i3 is a 4 core but its not going to bottleneck a 3060 mobile. I would assume it have a 144hz screen and 16gb of ram? If so go for that.

      Of course, theres other factors into consideration, if you are buying it for gaming but you are a csgo only player, than the zephyrus maybe better since csgo is much more cpu intensive and it have a 240hz screen.

      The one you mentioned (acer?) is probably better for most gamers, but if you value build quality, component (i.e, I dont know the specs of the one you mentioned but it may have a 45% ntsc screen instead of 72%, a worse SSD etc to cut costs), or even brand name than yeah zephyrus would be a better pick.

    • shellshocked on 26/04/2021 - 22:03

      The i5-1300h with only 4 cores will be a bottleneck. No point getting a 3060 if the CPU is not powerful enough to feed it. It will be OK for single core games, but modern AAA games are multi core. You also need to take into consideration that both major consoles have 8 core AMD Ryzen 2 CPUs, and ports of games to PC will take advantage of an 8 core CPU to feed the GPU.

      However if you want a better all round laptop, the G15 is on another level, with good screen, GPU and battery life vs most gaming laptops at this price point.

      CPU performance comparison for reference:

      You can also look at Cyberpunk 2077 taking advantage of more cores based on this review:

    Wow!! Amazing price on this laptop :)

    I've been looking at both the G15 and G14 for ages, however I'd rather have the 14 due to the smaller form factor. Either way, amazing deal on an amazing laptop!!

    • open4highway on 27/04/2021 - 17:36

      Dude.. Checkout this one: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/619745

      I was on a similar boat and jumped the gun here :D

      Glad I waited till today.

      • Zackeroo on 27/04/2021 - 17:39

        Wow! Thanks for that link :)

        The thing is, as tempting as it is to get that, I really want the 120Hz QHD version, and additionally, I'm not in the best of positions to purchase something so expensive at the moment lol

        Thanks anyway, but I think I'm going to keep my trusty X1 Carbon for some more time, but when I eventually switch, I'll be looking at the G14 (Or whatever the newer version of it is at the time)

        My X1 Carbon weighs only 1.1KG and is a 14 inch laptop. This lightweight aspect is what I liked about it so much :) The G14 stood out as well since it provides major performance in a lightweight form factor

  • zjz93 on 26/04/2021 - 21:56

  • Homr on 26/04/2021 - 22:46

    why is this more cheaper than the G14 when it has more power GPU? 1660ti vs 2060 max q

    • gabos on 26/04/2021 - 22:49

      Form factor, also 1660ti > 2060 max q

      • Homr on 26/04/2021 - 22:49

        Thanks. I didn't know 1660ti is better than the 2060 maxq

      The AMD Ryzen 4900HS is more powerful (8 cores vs 6) and power efficient (35w vs 45W) compared to the Intel i7-10750H. You will need to be connected to a power point to take advantage of the 2070. The G15 is balanced gaming laptop that you can actually take on the road and has good battery life for productivity.

    I'm questioning again how come gaming laptops or any new laptops do not have SDCard slot built-in?

    We need those for transferring photos else need an external SDCard reader its ridiculous~!

    I feel the build quality old Asus is better eg. N61J that's from 2010 and have better speakers. Has built-in SDCard, I wonder what is happening these days!?

    • open4highway on 27/04/2021 - 09:42

      It's better if you buy one of those all in one USB Type C reader.. It really comes on handy for everything..

  • SamyKn on 27/04/2021 - 13:33

    although overall is a good deal but MAX-Q kills it if you looking to game , better to spend a bit more and get a 3060 one. (IMO)

    I was tossing up between this, the 2021 RTX 3060 model (at $2.3k) or the Razer 15 Base (2020) on MWave for $2.1k
    Ultimately the R9 and price factor lead me to making the purchase on this.. lucky I got one!

  • buy swap sell on 01/05/2021 - 16:30

    I have to say I am extremely happy with this laptop. Build quality is excellent and its nice and slim for a gaming computer. Performance is excellent. Only negative thing I have to say about it is the very sexy nice brushed black finish looks amazing however it is really bad for fingerprints so constantly cleaning.

    • jOlv on 07/05/2021 - 00:45

      im extremely happy with mine as well. Followed some instructions online to disable turbo boost and both my GPU and CPU stays withint 70-80 degrees under gaming load.

  • fastnet on 04/05/2021 - 15:28

    Looks like Asus has used thread lock on the M.2 screws on this laptop. I've almost stripped the screw on the second M.2 slot trying to remove it. No way to add a second SSD if the screw has been glued in.

    This is a great laptop though!

    • jOlv on 07/05/2021 - 00:46

      i manage to add SSD to second M.2 slot without issues. Are others glued in?

      • fastnet on 07/05/2021 - 11:18

        Actually got it out by heating the screw with a soldering iron and used a pair of small pliers to grip the screw by the edges and unscrew it. Just as I imagined there was loctite on the screw! Installed a second SSD and it's running smoothly.

    • CodeXD on 07/05/2021 - 11:21

      I have a lenovo laptop and I accidentally stripped the screw changing up the m.2 ssd. I think it's more to do using the correct size head for something more delicate like this.

      • fastnet on 07/05/2021 - 11:35

        Apparently this is a common issue with Asus even on their motherboards. Someone made a YouTube video about it which was very helpful.
