I have this laptop and I love it. I was able to buy it through the Asus website. They have an auto notify button where it will send you an email when it comes in stock. You will need to be quick though. They sell out quickly.
Same link at BH with RTX 2060 and 1 TB SSD is for $1199. Consider it, if you are willing to stretch it a bit more.
14% faster, possibly could carry same for year more.. but 20% costlier. Still you get storage space as well.
100G games are common so storage is equally important.
Poor thermals make the laptop unusable from a gaming perspective, at least if you think you're really getting 4800H + RTX2060 performance. It throttles quite badly.
SD can be a fickle place. This will probably hit the front page while the recent Razer Blade 15 for $1100, which has a much higher build quality and a better display, got poo-pooed. Oh well.
You are comparing desktop vs desktop gpu. What we have is MOBILE 2060 and mobile 1660ti GPU. Wrong comparison. You'd wish you get 2060 desktop 😂😂😂
Nope. Not commenting on then 2060 in question because I don't feel like looking it up but this 1660ti is not a mobile specific variant. It is in all practical sense a 1660ti.

Wrong again. 1660ti mobile is -4% effective speed from 2060 mobile.
Go ahead pay $200 extra for 2060 mobile. You can always game RTX at 30 fps if that's what you are into.

Yes and no, the mobile variant is usually power gated, it will not run as fast as the desktop model. It'll be close though, 5-15%

Screen is bad on this panel. 55% srgb with slow response rate 20+ ms. You will see ghosting for sure.
Bottom plate blocked vent is trash = overheat the laptop.
Other than that, it's solid. Great processor, battery size.
Go buy a filer/dremel and start destroying the back and side panel for better cooling.

Acer nitro will lose by a mile with i5 and 1650 8g ram. I think you recently bought acer nitro and you dream of it winning this
