Isn't the laptop crippled in the sense that the GPU doesn't have access to the entire 115 base watt capability of the 3070 plus the addition 15 watts boost for a total of 130 watts?

Definitely, but it also shaves off a pound compared to other laptops, so you gain portability, but loose performance. Either way there's a lack of benchmarks and reviews, so I can't say how much performance you loose.

WHY WATTS / TDP MATTER

Per rruff:

There is no such thing as "standard wattage" for 3000 series cards. 2000 series had MaxQ and "everything else" which narrowed it down a little.
----
3000 series cards have an optional feature whereby they can boost to a higher power level if the CPU demand is low. For instance the max on a 3060 is 115W-130W, where that extra 15W is the extra boost.

USING 2060 115 watts as base at 100%

3060@60W= 94%
3060@75 W = 100% (inserted by RussianBytes for MSI "GF75 Thin Gaming Laptop" RTX 3060 GPU for $1300 at COSTCO)
2060@115W= 100%
3060@90 W = 105% (75 Base Watts+15 watts boost, (inserted by RussianBytes MSI "GF75 Thin Gaming Laptop" RTX 3060 GPU, $1300 COSTCO)
2070@115W= 110% (inserted by RussianBytes for MSI "GE75 Gaming Laptop" RTX 2070 for $1,200 at COSTCO)
2060 $115 watts AND further undervolting and overclocking: 110%
3060@115W= 115%
2070S@115W= 120%

I had this laptop for about two weeks. Beautiful laptop. Probably the best build quality on the market thus far. GPU is 85W variant, and it's missing a camera which is why I chose to take it back. I'm assuming the $50 price drop is due to HP Omen releasing a similar spec'd laptop at $1739.99. Omen has the 130W GPU though, but it's not going to remotely compare in build quality.

Patiently waiting for the Legin 5 Pro to become available. May even go with the G17 Strix since it comes with the full 3070.

In my opinion, getting the 3060 variant for $1500 is more reasonable. Just my opinion.

This is a 3070 though, right?

It's pretty good, not like MacBook build quality but not bad. One thing I've noticed is it can "creek" at times. Especially when it gets warm. Not a dealbreaker but some reviews note this too.

I returned this laptop cause the speakers were defective. Others had the same issue. Check it online.

(8gb soldered and 8gb upgradeable)

What's the point of only one being upgradable? You lose the dual channel benefit. I really don't understand ASUS's engineer now. Not wise, at least.
