    Thanks! There don't seem to be many reviews on the Gigabyte or MSI one. I don't really want to encounter too many issues and it seems as though Asus is the more popular one and any known issues have been noted.

    Or you could go the 6-core i5 version for $1799 which will have a tonne of firepower.

    How does the Ryzen 7 5800H compare with the Ryzen 9 4900H?

  R9 should edge ahead I think.
  But this laptop was praised in many reviews I watched/read.

    Great! I'll keep an eye on it. I don't really need the portability of the Zephyrus but I want to make sure it's not going to be brick either. Is Strix light enough to lug around on occasion?
