The model that comes with the RTX 3060 has a second, empty m.2 slot, this model doesn't, but does have that empty 2.5" drive bay

It's fine for gaming but I wouldn't do any professional color work on it or expect HDR to work that great (though it does support it). Reviews seem to state that it covers about 58% of the sRGB color gamut, but it's plenty responsive in games and has good viewing angles

Seems like the CPU may limit the fps, since it's really just 2.3ghz under real world conditions, when it heats up, it's mostly going to only be at 2.3ghz all cores. Thoughts?

A mobile card will never be better than a desktop card. It's just a space and heat problem.

Yep. Older but better than Zenith. Lol.
Similar to Asus, but I think MSI will work harder and use better components as an underdog.

Do these gaming laptops throttle under load? I have a old xps15 with specs that should be able to handle most things I play and literally it literally throttles to a halt when I play anything.
