Well... it comes to pricing and pricing is different between regions. And the downside of having single channel memory is not bad decision. Cheaper price allowing buyers with limited budget to purchase it earlier and it can be upgraded later. The only major downside is screen quality, which is not replaceable, at least for most users and it's damn hot operating temperature for AMD models. On the pros side, it seems to be the only gaming laptop with 2x M.2 slots and 2.5" bay, allowing 3x storage at once. Something that we can appreciate.

Good on you Jarrod for showing us simple things like laptop internal parts (e.g. ram R8/R16, GPU wattage, CPU power limits etc) can change a laptops performance from a similar spec’d model to another by ridiculous sums such as 30-50% in some models gaming benchmarks. Your reviews and detailed explanation are vital for us consumers considering an expensive tech purchase such as laptops which are often kept for a number of years by users. Excellent job my man!

Despite the color gamut & brightness, I found this laptop surprisingly satisfying performance-wise. Kind of looked forward to your review for that variant, but seeing that you give review for newer model, I guess I'm going to have to seat this one out.

I find it is very good. Perhaps not AAA, but a very solid blend of reasonably fast performance and moderate price. I'm old, so my game playing is slowing down, but I can get beautiful imagery and smooth frame rates on Sekaru Shadows Die Twice and Witcher 3. I play in 2k, but upscaled to 4k, currently using their frame upscaling, but the 3050 card does support DLSS, so, for example, when the remastered Witcher 3 comes out in a month, I should get even better graphics and frame rates. For budget performance, I have zero regrets. EDIT UPDATE: I did update Witcher 3 to the newer version that has DLSS, and I can run at 4K on High with strong framerates. Assuming that more titles will have DLSS, it will be a huge step up from the RTX2000 series.

It is LEAPS and BOUNDS better than the Acer, looks better, and overall is a bette value for a similar price. With better performance because of its higher quality build.

Great Review nontheless, but I think this laptop depends on region, as in my region this laptop and the tuf a15 is the cheapest 3060 laptops about $400 less than equivalent specced Strix g15's and legion 5's. Also screens and ram can depend as my screen and ram were better on my nitro 5 (the screen was from the last year helios 300). I got mines for $1100 for a 5800H and 3060

@Force200888 2 жыл бұрын
a question, I plan to buy a laptop for personal use and gaming, but can they endure gaming for a long time ? (e.g heavy gaming for 2+ hours session), and power on 24/7. My work laptop is working 24/7 for 5 years now without any problems (battery life is reduced a bit, but it is to be expected), but I'm not sure if a laptop with discreet gpu can do that...

What settings have you used for the battery test? I'm getting 2.5 hr max on the Ryzen model, on KZfaq and browsing internet. Also, it was probably the only option when I bought this laptop that had a 2.5" SSD slot. I needed it for a 4 TB SSD. I could have used a bigger battery, but the SSD slot was more important for me and cheaper than NVME.

@@JarrodsTech Hey jarrod, can you look at the msi gf65 thin? It has a i5 10300h or 10500h and packs a 75w 3060. However it has the DUMBEST vent placement. Literally has no vents directly below the fans. Its a real shame because in several countries, the msi gf65 thin is the cheapest rtx 3060 option we have. This is true for India and Indonesia. Infact the laptop even has a small battery AND only 2 m.2 slots. At least acer gives you extra storage. And also check out the gigabyte g5, another option that is the cheapest 3060 laptop in several places in europe. It has a terrible cooling solution as well.

@@JarrodsTech In Croatia the Nitro 5 is by far the cheapest. Omen is 200€ more expensive. Legion the same. Even in Germany, its the lowest priced laptop. After using it for 3 months I can say that I don't notice any of the "problems" you pointed out (17.3'' 3060 5600h, 144hz, 8+8ram, 1200€). All other 3060 laptops cost 1500€+ in Croatia. 3070 and 3080 are 1900/2200€+. Germany is cheaper, and often has preinstalled windows so you're better off buying and just have it delivered. I've owned a lot of laptops. From 600€ office to 1600€ gaming and this one is the best so far, generally speaking.

I love this laptop, and I've been using this for about a week now, to put it simply; the battery is not good or bad either, the screen flexes when you put stress on it but the rest is perfect for me. I mainly use this for surfing the web, learning Software Development using Visual Studio 2022, and will use in the future a bit for online schooling. It's kinda overkill relative to my usage, lol. Overall, I'm happy to hear that most of the compromises can be solved by having an external monitor and increasing the ram by spending a few hundred bucks.

I ran my whole lap benchmark on userbenchmark and everything seemed okay except that it said my rtx 3060 was kinda underperforming and i should overclock it.
