This seems like a great price considering it is the only laptop with this form factor and resolution at that price.

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.

How is this a deal at asking price?

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.

Bought and returned crippled 3070 Benchmarked slower than my 2070 super max P in Watchdog Legions, Valhalla and Fenyx. Though Benchmarked faster in the synthetics.

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

It's got an Intel CPU with less Watts, so performance is going to be lower. Also, smaller battery and lower resolution.

Got mine today, installed drivers and tested eth mining and was hashing at 47ish. Was hoping for a touch more, will mess with some OCing and see if i can get it bumped up into the 50s.

How much hash rate did you get eventually with over clocking?
