Ok. So I've been following/commenting on this thread since a few hours it was posted. This is a good deal, but not a great a one like so many people are saying. At best, it's a $100ish off what you would expect. Look at my asus comparison post. But, if it happens to be your birthday, you can get $180 off that Asus deal and that makes this one not great or even good imo.

Point being, I think everyone is trying to compare 30XX deals to older 20XX deals and saying the 30XX are good deals. But the math would argue this is not a great deal for the new batch of computers with the 30XX, just a good one....

Happy to hear the alternative side though .

Miners...the hash rate is pretty good on the 3xxx series and they are snatching whatever they can.

EDIT: I think you are talking about this deal:
https://slickdeals.net/f/14774995-asus-rog-strix-g17-17-3-300mhz-rtx-3070-with-amd-ryzen-9-5900hx-1799-99

The price difference comes up to be $500, for ~25% better performance, 30% bigger battery, bigger screen but 35% added cost. If you can get that for ~1500 then I guess that one is better.

sdslickrThe difference here, if I understand correctly: there is no PD on gaming laptops so would need to plug in power. Net difference = two plugs to the laptop, a USB C cable plus power cable. Right?
Quote from geezeefosheezee View quoted comment :
Correct, you'd have 2 cables (since the laptop appears to not support charging over usb-c).
Yes and No. PD is limited by wattage, but that DOES NOT mean gaming laptops do not support it. Unless you are using the dgpu pretty extensively, the 100W PD limitation should be fine and the higher end gaming laptops support PD. Whether that versatility is worth it or not, is up to you. For me, if I'm spending over 1K on a laptop, PD is super nice to have to be able to charge on the got with a power pack easily when I'm not gaming.

i mean is the mini displayport compatible 2k 165hz?
Absolutely... 1.2 can handle 2k 165.

300 NITS, for nitwits
The only people that care that much about nits are nitwits. 300 nits is well above good enough for matte displays (almost all gaming laptops)

Fair enough. I'm talking about this computer: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus...Id=6448848

When you spec the HP to roughly the same. it's not that much more expensive. You can't compare 8gb ram, 256gb, fhd, etc. Once you add the options to the HP, you're sitting at $250ish more for the Asus but you get the better ryzen, fingerprint, PD, etc...And let's be honest, 8gb RAM won't cut it and games these days are over 150gb each.. so if you need a 3070, you're going to need to spec it up.

I got this OMEN with R7+3700+16gb+512SSD for $1254 + tax.
So this little difference, like $550, might not be a big deal for you, but I enjoyed it, very much.

This is actually more comparable... $1450 with a 1TB SSD undiscounted.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus...Id=6448936

Point I'm trying to make is that it's not a massive savings for this HP Omen. You're more or less getting a good deal, but not crazy good. The asus in cart, with the 10% discount it's sitting at $1310 and don't have to wait 30+ days.

I chose the tuf between it, the omen, and the g15. It's $60 more, but I also get 1Tb, 240hz, and USB PD. To me, thats a better deal. And I personally prefer the intel models because it's easier to run a hackintosh or Mac OS vm.

But I still think the HP deal is good and happy you enjoy the deal. Just not as good as everyone is making it out to be.

im curious how critical it is to have freesync or g-sync on a gaming laptop

my understanding is the 2020 Omen does not have either, it would be nice if this model did

That CPU has half the cores on the TUF.

Your point?

I absolutely appreciate how the new Ryzens draw less wattage (less heat) and perform benches better.

But more cores is an arbitrary metric for almost anything people are going to be doing on a laptop with a dedicated GPU.

If all you need is a quad core that is fine. Just seems a little pricey these days for a quad core CPU.

Out of curiosity, what do you need an octacore for, specifically when paired with a dGPU?

New gaming consoles will be using 8 core processors and I imagine games will be coded to take advantage of that. Plus p0rn takes a lot of cores....

Lol... new gaming consoles are also rocking the equivalent of 20XX gpu's. They are probably using the octacores to reduce thermal load so they don't have to make them the same size/noise as gigantic desktops for $500. Plus the actual architecture for each device is different.

You're basically just falling into this more is better category without knowing why.

For me it's VMs and video encoding (handbrake) that are going to take advantage of those sweet, sweet extra cores.

Wow this is amazing deal. If I didn't buy the Zephyrus G15 today i'd probably be all over this. With a QHD screen and a 3070 it's still cheaper than the Zephyrus.
You will be complaining about the Zephyrus in a few days if you don't have it already. The speaker pop happens to 99% of the units shipped and there is no hardware mux so you are forced to send the dGPU->iGPU->Display which causes a noticeable framerate drop on pretty much every game. Several videos showing why this is a bad design. I bought two that I plan on returning now.
