Would absolutely pull trigger on it if higher, my amex has both a 10% & the $200 off from Dell loaded.. 🤔
$700 for this rig is nothing nowadays.
But... I don't have amex AND deal is over, so...
The only thing is, this asus is 17 inch, I'm not sure if there is even a laptop backpack that can fit it. And also heavier compared to the msi. Anyone knows?

Difficult to find any information on this unit. I suggest you buy it and then take it back if it doesn't work. This is a killer deal and my grandson's friends are buying this unit.
I have a flip 15 that is all metal, so I cannot comment on the case. But at this price I think it would be plastic.

I did the math… after 10% from email sign up, 8% from a cash back site that sounds like "Hadouken", the 5% CB from the visa + tax it still turned out the g15 would be around $300 more depending on whether tax is charged on full price or not. Probably worth it, but $300 pays for the eGPU dock, so…
But eh; the g15 deal is gone so my decision was made anyway. 👍
Keeping my fingers crossed that this 3050 TUF has TB4…
EDIT: I realized I had added the accidental drop insurance. If I had just bought the base one I might have been better off with the G15.
