Thus begins the adventure of trying to find and compare RTX 3000 series mobile wattage.

Just so everyone knows if they don't already, NVIDIA removed any requirements for laptop makers to label lower powered mobile GPU's as "Max-Q" to indicate the design emphasis is on power efficiency and noise rather than straight performance. The only way we're going to be able to compare one 3000 series GPU to another is if the laptop makers grace us by telling us the wattage they're pumping thru the GPU. In extreme cases, you could end up with severely underpowered 3070 mobile GPU's being outperformed by high powered 3060's. Gonna be fun.

That, and the i7 CPU is 4 cores, 8 threads which is comparable to the Zen U series. The 5900HS uses 8 cores and 16 threads.

Yeah it's going to be with it to wait for reviews and wattage info for laptops with 3000-series cards. Pre-order at your own risk.

Great deal. Shame it's an Asus. I love their Strix cards but every Asus laptop I've owned or known someone else who owned has been a dumpster fire. I have a Q535U and it's just been letdown after letdown. Light leaky screen, touchpad that works half of the time, poor battery life, the constant inability to wake properly from sleep mode... Looks like a million bucks but acts like a buck fifty.
Mine took a crap too

Also, why is this so much cheaper? Very similar specs. Is it just because it bulkier?

Good pre order considering the specs, if it doesn't perform as well you can just return it. Best Buy has a good return policy.
