Regarding the RTX 3050 Ti, this is the maximum powered variant, allowed by Nvidia, 80W TGP, up to 95W with Dynamic Boost. Performance will be almost similar to RTX 2060, with some exceptions in games which higher video memory requirement.

Well, none of those last gen Laptops with RTX 2060, has MUX switch, which at 1080P resolution, does give some performance benefit. That may be something for it against a RTX 2060 equipped Laptop at similar price. Along with that, you are getting a superior display, G-Sync support, a tons of ports and a good processing performance bonus.

What is the gap when compared to a 3060? Seems like a waste for this chassis which easily seems to handle even a 130W 3070.

I would say its a good deal, synonymous with last years popular Legion 5 4800h + 1660Ti deal for 1k

The problem then is that RTX 2060 laptop quite often go for much cheaper. The processor is good but still. A gen old Intel or even AMD equivalent isn't too far off, is it?

GPU.userbenchmark says that 1660ti is 10% better than 3050ti and 3060 is 66% better than this..is this accurate or am I missing something?

Good deal for the specs. I have a Legion laptop and it runs buttery smooth no matter what I'm doing. Although to be fair, I'm not playing many games that push my 2060. Very heavy, but solid build. Battery lasts long enough to binge netflix away from an outlet.

I'm also wondering this. A full-wattage 1660ti is still an extremely capable 1080p performer. If this is less than that, why not go with an HP Omen from last year?

Good deal, repped.

FYI people should be aware of: Amazon has a strict return policy on laptops. Restocking fee will apply unless it is returned for a defect (which they supposedly confirm as part of the return inspection)

Great deal! TU and repped.

Be aware that Amazon's laptop return policy is much more firm than their other products- restocking fee unless there is a verified problem with the system.

But that video shows a 60W 3050 ti, and this one is the 80W. So performance would be definitely better in this model.
