I know these are two different speced computers … but how would 3050ti compared to say MSI 3060 Costco computer. In general would you go for 3060 or 3050ti? Thanks a lot.
3060 is significantly faster,but you can't find it in a13" laptop

As mentioned on the previous deal - if you want touch, 360, small form factor PC to game on the go - GET IT!
Been driving it for the past couple of months - AMAZING! Got the 3080ti extension 2 weeks ago, HOLLY FCK is it awesome! Big Grin

Seriously, if you want to game while travelling and with a thin and light - there's nothing better out there.

I have the 3050ti version - 11/10 would buy again!
Have you tried using the stylus

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I've owned this laptop for a while now and I have to admit it's pretty decent for MY use case. What I have found to be useful might not be for all but:
-16:10 seems to give me a better view of things even though it's only a few pixels
-The pen I got off amazon works perfectly with this. The brand I got was the RENAISSER Stylus Pen for Surface with USB C charging. It works just fine and very accurate.
- The temps do get hot but that's expected because of the 5900H in such a small form factor and the fans are not gonna keep it cool enough to be in the 70s like other larger laptops
-DO NOT get this for gaming. The screen itself has a bit of a delay like 20ms+ and you will notice it when playing games. It feels like lag on a bad internet connection but for non competitive games it's perfectly fine.
-External eGPU is great as it adds ports you would want and also allowing you to use an external with DP is awesome. Drives my LG Ultra wide at 1440p and at 144hs without issue.

There are other laptops out there but if you want to do some photo edits with the stylus it's freaking awesome. Do some typing it's great as the keyboard has a nice travel and feel to it. Portable in weight and size and power brick you can use a small 100W USB C charger if you want but it won't allow your laptop to go into turbo mode which is full power and fans which is only capable with the ASUS provided charger. Battery life has been pretty damn good. I had it recently for work and 6 hours straight of emails and web browsing and battery was at 32% after I was done. It's a great portable but don't expect it to be a gaming laptop.

Are there benefits to getting a non touch screen laptop if we don't necessarily need or want it?

If it's something you'll never use, then you won't miss it at all. If you are 100% sold on touch screen laptops, then there's no reason not to get one. You aren't going to get a performance boost or better battery life by buying one that doesn't have a touch screen. However, by not having one you won't ever have to worry about "ghost touch" issues where the screen acts like it's being touched when it's not. Whether you go touch screen or not is completely up to how you want to use the laptop.

My computer knowledge has lapsed a ton, but why is this a good deal at $1,349 with a 3050 GPU when you can get laptops with the 3060 for the same price?

Because this is the only touchscreen Ryzen 8 Core 13" laptop with a dedicated GPU and external GPU compatibility with a weight under 3lbs.

If they made a 15" version than I would sell my G14 and would buy this immediately. Great laptop, it's just too small for my personal needs.

It's a great portable but don't expect it to be a gaming laptop.
- I have the same pen for mine, and agree it works great. Using Drawboard PDF for note taking and there are no issues with palm rejection when held landscape, though a little finicky if you hold the tip closer to the palm in portrait
- Temps are excellent for a laptop period. in the 80s at full load, other gaming laptops in this price range tend to all run far hotter as the good cooling solutions don't get put in the $1000 price point options, so those usually run into the 90s.
-The ghosty screen can be annoying at times but if you're competitive enough for it to be a problem, you wouldn't be playing on a 13 inch screen. I've played ranked Siege in Platinum rank and picking out targets on a 13 inch screen at the same distance I'm used to with a 27 inch display is the biggest difficulty.
-Another thing to note is like similarly featured ultrabooks, it is finicky with going to sleep. Brushing the side mounted power button(which is the fingerprint reader) with anything capacitive before it has fully gone to sleep will wake it up despite being closed.

All in all this laptop is incredible to use and is built well, with far few QC issues than similarly prices Asus "gaming" laptops, ie Zephyrus. I got mine for College about two months back for the same price. $1350 for the definitive Ultrabook experience is worth it. It does what a high end XPS 13 2in1 does and more for several hundred less.

Can I have your input regarding this laptop?
  1. How bright is the screen? I just need 1080p and i think its 350nitts. is it bright enough to work in a lit room?
  2. I'm gonna use this laptop for mechanical engineering and data science at undergrad level and hopefully it'll last me 5 years. The 16gb kinda concerns me.
I mainly need a 16:10 or better yet a 3:2 screen, decent specs with dGPU (not for gaming but for work). There aren't many options out there. I would go for the G14 but I really need the extra vertical space.

Wait wtf are you me? Jk lol but I have the same pen and felt the same way about this laptop. Aside from the gaming thing which I haven't noticed much but I'd imagine it's not too big an issue for traveling and if you're in a more permanent setting you could just use an external monitor anyways. I bought this laptop specifically for its form factor and definitely can recommend it for everything. There are also some options for battery life to not let it be 100% all the time if you keep it plugged in almost all the time. Just something nice I've noticed with laptops these days. Yes there are better laptops out there for gaming but I've been looking for something in this price range for awhile and nothing beats this form factor and has touchscreen as well. At just under 3 pounds too! The only thing close is the asus rog zephyrus I feel like and for other similar laptops without touchscreen you get razer blades which are super expensive.

Perfect, thanks for the link and info. Seems sweet if you really need a portable but also want to game on the go.
