Asus Gaming Laptop with latest Nvidia RTX 3060 chip for $1099
Considering that, other gaming laptops with older Nvidia RTX 2060 chip are still selling for same or more than this price, this is a good grab for 1099.
(This gets out of stock soon, do check your local stores, I was able to find one in my local store today)

i would probably prefer the asus zeph g14 from last year over this. which is usually on sale for around 1100. yes it is a 2060, but you get much better build quality and cpu performance.

Only one mem slot is accessible for upgrade. So once you decide to upgrade mem, you lose dual channel, which is a big loss... So stay away from ASUS...

Everyone complains about the response time and ghosting.., is it really that bad? The build quality looks so nice.

yes but what about weight ? They don't even list the weight for this in specs so it can't be good

Screen on this I heard was terrible but not 100% sure. Anyone experience with it? How many FPS does it get in Cold War?

These are the reviews for the same machine with RTX 3070:

https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/asus-tuf-dash-f15

and it still performs worse in games than a RTX 2060 and 5600M graphics card laptop. Just imagine how much worse a RTX 3060 configuration will perform.

This needs renamed. Needs model and Tuf denominator and the 15" size.
