has upgradable ram for anyone wondering
ยท
Pretty much sure you bought FX706HE with 3050Ti (reg $999, was on sale for $799)
This one is FX706HC with 3050 (not Ti version, reg $899, on sale $679) Wave
ยท
The title of this deal states 3050 Ti. It should be 3050, not the Ti version.

Edit: OP corrected the title

48Wh battery, these TUF gaming laptop has horrible battery life with the 48Wh, My spec is with a Ryzen 7, 16gb dual channel, 256gb ssd, and 1660ti. I don't play games I use it to 3d design on sketch up, fusion, etc and 3d print or make plans. sometimes I'll use it for word processing to type up papers. After a year of mostly keeping the battery charge to a healthy state (60%) and rarely getting below 30% I am getting less than 2 hours of usage on power saving mode working on Microsoft words with wifi connected and using a usb wireless mouse.

Just a warning if you plan to use it as a laptop and unplug, say a college student that need to bring it to lecture to take notes or starbucks to study, etc.

I need a laptop that runs Adobe CC, multiple programs at once, without lagging. I'll probably connect to external monitor so that's not an issue. Just want to ensure it can handle multiple programs at once with a great video card. What's my best bet for current slickdeals posted?

No XZ port? Not a great deal. Oh wait the XZ port hasn't been invented yet. Gotta get my timelines together. My bad.... Good deal for this day and age.

Help me understand.
This vs. Costco BF MSI deal,
I7 11800, 16gb, 1TB nvme ssd, rtx3060 for $1200

Is the MSI enough better to justify the cost?

They do a price match with Best Buy pricing as long as the item is within your return period. You can start a chat to get the adjustment.

This one is actually recommended by BB for the machine:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cors...Id=6063100
That's funny since that link is for 2400 ram, and this laptop spec shows it has 3200. 3200 is obviously the recommended for this CPU. Of course, you can use slower memory modules if you like. If you want 32GB, you might try this BF sale for $94.99 [newegg.com]

"ASUS TUF Gaming Laptop" not college kid laptop. Do not have the laptop plugged in when not in use

Is this better than the Walmart msi laptop
I wondered that too, it's going to be a gift and I know little to nothing about finding the best laptop.
