for this laptop:
5900HS tdp 35w
RTX 3070 tdp 100w
3070 is TDP limited to around 80-95w, mediocre performance, even lower than 100w RTX 3060.
Asus doesn't have Mux switch, so 10-15% performance degradation on internal display.
Memory is half soldered on motherboard and it's single rank, so another system wide performance degradation of 10-15%, and you can't change the memory to make it dual rank.
HDMI is 2.0, and there is no way to reroute HDMI 2.1 from it's Type-C port since it's wired to internal radeon gpu. So no support for most HDMI 2.1 120hz 4k tv.
Because the HDMI is wired to radeon, you also suffers same 10-15% performance degradation due to same situation of no Mux switch, all traffic goes to HDMI need to buffer through internal radeon gpu. only way to properly avoid is using Type-C convert to DP 1.4.
All in all it's just a low power laptop. with glorify CPU. GPU specs and upsale price but almost 30-50% less performance than properly design similar laptop. And asus in all it's way prevent the end user to utilize it's full potential, gimped cpu, gpu, memory, ports and no camera...In return, it does have a good battery life.
My general guide on 2021 Asus/Rog laptop: stay away! intentionally crippled bad apples.

The battery life on this model is a major selling point if you travel a lot. I can repeatably get 7-8 hours editing Photoshop/Lightroom. 10-12hrs on browsing/content viewing.
The screen has decent color out of the box and with calibration is fantastic. Having a wide gamut is vital for creatives. The resolution is a sweet spot for editing at this size.
As to gaming performance, it isn't going to compete with a desktop. For eSports titles it is more than powerful enough to max framerates on the display. For AAA titles I still get an experience that doesn't distract with smooth frames and minimal drops.
If you are a creative who games on the side on the road I highly recommend this laptop. It has its limitations, but once you throw in a second, bigger hard drive and another 32gb of ram, this machine will do pretty much everything you need/can expect it to all while beating out most other laptops in terms of battery life.
I had the 14" Zephyrus with the 2060 and 4900. I didn't like it. At all. The monitor was pretty garbage. This one might be better though.

Got an email from BB said it was a price mistake but they're going to honor it. I'll post the link below but it's back to $1549. The 15.6 is better for gaming I wanted something small to edit videos.
