Hi Jarrod. Do you mind to review 17" of Helios 300? i think it will be a good topic to talk about 😉, since it doesn't suck that much as much i tested. 140w of TGP for 3070. that would be a great contrast for your 15" model. Hope this topic can comes to you next few videos. In my country(Taiwan), it cost only 13Kish USD during black fridy holidays.

I had the previous Mech 15 (with the 2080). I couldn’t get used to the keyboard. Since my son needed a new gaming laptop I gave it to him and bought the Legion 7i with the 3080.

His only problem was the lower performance due to having only a single channel RAM out of the box. If you got it on dual channel for no extra cost, then you got a good deal.

I don’t know you personally but I’d suggest getting the laptop. But that’s a great laptop for under a 1000 bucks. While I can’t speak for everyone, the difference between 120hz and 144hz is negligible unless your a super competitive player and if you really need a higher refresh rate then you can get an external monitor, it’ll have better performance too

I understand what you're saying about an external monitor and I agree with you but where I have my current laptop, unfortunately I can't use an external monitor as it's on folding plastic table thing.

@@MultiRetroMan Do you have an external monitor that you use often? If yes I'd say go for it but if it's gonna be your primary screen, you're better off avoiding it Imo

How are they bang for the buck when they are more expensive than most other laptops with the same specs? They offer full powered GPU but are WAY more expensive than others. 2100 for a 3070 Neo is a full 500 more than the zephyrus g15 with a 3070.. and the neo has half the ssd. Def not bang for the buck

Well I do agree that they offer relatively lower price in the market, and I bought one, but their after sales service is kinda disappointing due to low number of working staff and only KL HQ could do the critical repair. Yea I'm still waiting for them to diagnose yea not starting repair yet my laptop after two weeks :') Am waitin for my Legion5i now :'))

Can the 3050Ti be upgraded to 3060?

@@sandynonso no, MXM no longer exists

I tried the G15 Strix AE and desperately wanted to love it. The CPU and GPU are crazily powerful... BUT, no MUX switch to fully unleash that 6800m, and the heat build-up on it (and every other 15.6" laptop I've tried) killed the deal for me. I also couldn't stand the heat and fan noise pumped out by the Lenovo Legion 5 (with its incredibly irritating and constant fan spin-up and spin down). The Alienware m15 R5 with the 3070 was the biggest sauna-maker (Jesus, the heat that thing threw off, I'd be amazed if the machine lasted a year of normal use), and the pushed down keyboard had my wrist hanging over the edge of the keyboard deck, so that was returned, too. The Dell G15 came the closest to being tolerable in terms of the fan noise generated, but it also ran a bit hotter than then Lenovo. I think I liked the G15 the best because it was quite a bit cheaper than the Lenovo, and quieter while gaming, while still providing a MUX switch and the same 165Hz 1080p panel. I finally figured out the only solution to the heat/fan noise generated by all the 15.6" laptops I tried: a 17.3" form factor. Currently have an MSI Leopard GP76 with an 11800h/3070 combo. It has a MUX switch, but runs quieter than the Legion 5, and the heat simply gets more easily dissipated by the larger chassis. Only thing is, it weighs a ton, especially with its power brick. I finally just tried an Asus Strix G14 with an AMD 6800hs/6700s combination, and I loved the size and weight, but it got so hot, it was actually uncomfortable to touch the upper metal keyboard deck. In this case, I think the plastic chassis are an advantage, like with the Dell G15, because plastic is non-conductive of heat, so the keyboard deck stays noticeably cooler. In the end, I might just sell the Leopard GP76 and pick up a 2021 Dell G15 5800/3060 combo for $1199 Canadian while I still can. The awesome battery life combined with the gaming performance, quieter fan, and the plastic yet high-quality build may have just won me over for good.
