It looks to have an extra slot for a second nvme drive and one bay for a 2.5" SSD along with 2x DDR4 slots ..very good upgradeability

EDIT: My laptop came in and i can confirm it comes with a single stick of 8GB of DDR4 SODIM at 3200Mhz running in single channel mode. so buying an extra 8GB's is a easy way to upgrade.. also the GTX1650 comes with DDR6 ram.. confirmed by Nvidia drivers and CPUZ

    Not Behd for the price.

    Just a pity about the 1650ti is relatively slow in this day and age.

      Its 1650, without ti, way too slow for a "gaming laptop"

          It seems it will run a bunch of fairly recent titles on ultra settings at 30-60fps, and you can probably drop a few things for big gains.

          https://www.game-debate.com/hardware/index.php?gid=4094&grap…

          Honestly for the price it seems pretty damn good to me, especially if you're not necessarily trying to play the absolute latest AAA games on it, which I increasingly don't bother with on my better desktop because there's such a good back catalogue and recent stuff feels all so samey.

          • RI4V4N on 25/05/2022 - 22:45

          • TsundereGuy on 26/05/2022 - 02:12

            @CodeExplode: Ultra settings are a total wank half the time. Even when they do yield a reasonable improvement, the frame rate hit is arguably not worth it.

        Gaming laptop because of backlit keyboard, 144Hz IPS, dedicated GPU, and HEAVY 2.3kg weight

          +4

          Pffft, 2.3kg on a 15” isn’t heavy. I had a Dell Inspiron 15” Gaming Laptop that weighed in at 2.65 kg. The old Alienware 15 (2018 and older) weighed 3.5kg before Dell switched to the lighter m15 design which was 2.2kg in the first model

          Bollocks. I went through uni with a Dell studio xps. 3kgs plus extra 6 cell battery (laptops only lasted 2 hours Max back then) and a massive brick charger.

        There's no significant difference between this and the Ti edition, except for the latter has GDDR6 memory.

      • FireRunner on 25/05/2022 - 18:03
        +2

        The 1650 Ti isn’t a big step up from the 1650.
        You might be getting it confused with the 1050 Ti which was a big improvement over the 1050

      You mean entry level. I don't think there's a dGPU that's lower than a 1650 in that generation.

      $176 extra for the dell laptop on Ebay buys you

      256GB vs 512GB nvme storage
      15.6" FHD 120Hz WVA vs 15.6" FHD 144Hz IPS
      1 Year Warranty vs 2 Years Warranty
      Orange Backlit Keyboard vs RGB Backlit Keyboard
      2.449 kg vs 2.3 kg

      Positives:>
      Better CPU
      Better GPU

      If you already have a good gaming desktop..Best to save the $176 and get the Asus for a better all around portable PC

    I'm having this laptop for about 2 years, pretty old model, bought it for 800$

    still works fine.
    using it for CADs mostly. have no idea about gaming, I guess the video card is too slow for gaming

    I've added 8GB ram and a second SSD, the battery still can do about 3-4 hours on it

    • Richardc on 25/05/2022 - 19:32

      Try turn off the dGPU when not using.

      • vid_ghost on 25/05/2022 - 19:38

        How do you turn off the dGPU? .. Just disable in windows Device Manager?

        • Zackeroo on 25/05/2022 - 20:46
          +1

          Nope, that can cause power being sent to the GPU even while not in use. Use Nvidia Control Panel to pick integrated graphics as the main GPU. You can also go into Graphics Settings in Windows and pick the integrated GPU instead of dGPU. I do this on my Zephyrus G14 to save battery life

          • vid_ghost on 25/05/2022 - 20:55

            @Zackeroo: Thought it would auto use the igpu in desktop and nvidia during gaming only

            • Zackeroo on 25/05/2022 - 22:50

              @vid_ghost: Nah, it's not that smart :)

              If you open task manager, you can often see it showing that it's using dGPU

              @abjsdhasehasee: Not sure about Radeon but I'd assume the Graphics Settings in Windows should still manage that

        I'm using it for ArchiCAD 2D & 3D + twinmotion rendering + photoshop/illustrator/lightroom, occasionally AutoCAD - can't complain at all, its enough for all my tasks (with 16ram and second SSD)
        Never have had drivers issues or overheating
        Not the best screen but I'm using a 32" screen

        Better than Lenovo ThinkPad which I used previously - they were always crushing especially when I ran AutoCAD with heavy blocks and hatches

        Off the top of my head I'd say the gaming performance would be at least a 2x, and that being said there is no nitro 3060 on sale now. I just think the money could be slightly better spent on future proofing yourself at least a little.

    This PoS would be a waste of money. You’re better off getting a second hand desktop 3070 and CPU combo. I can only see this cheap laptop setup running the chrome T. rex browser game at 30fps
