I had a friend who was in the market for a new gaming laptop and found this after a good thorough search. Considering there haven't been any posts on any ryzen systems with a 4070 and all the others were intel systems at this price point I think this is worth a post. Annoyingly he bought it for $1,999 but when I came back to write up this post they lowered the price to $1,899.

    If you can comfortably afford the extra $900 and you want a significantly better gaming experience with the ability to play demanding games at high settings for years to come, then the ASUS TUF A15 with the RTX 4070 and Ryzen 9 8945HS is worth the investment.

    If the $900 is a stretch for your budget, or if you're a more casual gamer who prioritizes value, the Infinity Q16 is an amazing deal that will still provide a very enjoyable gaming experience.

  FHD screen on a $1.9K gaming laptop is a deal breaker

    Which brand do you consider better than ASUS? I’ll be in the market for a decent laptop next year and am curious.

    much appreciated on the helios, even though price is back to 2.2k, with the 10% gift card it pretty much brings it back to the 1998 price, wonder if they'd let you use the gift card on the same purchase hah.

    how would you rate paying an extra 1k to get the 4080 ?

    worth paying an extra 1k from the helios?

    i'm trying to be hopeful that the 4090 will be in stock but most likely not…. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364705986101

    Yeah $1900 gaming laptop with just a 15.6 FHD screen is not really a deal these days …

      yoreno on 25/12/2024 - 10:57

      i'll probably go with the Helios, will keep my eyes open tomorrow for one last browse before pulling the trigger

  I prefer a smaller and lightweight PC case. I feel like gaming laptops have very limited performance. I had a problem with the keyboard being broken due to the heat.
