Hm... this vs the Asus G713 vs the GE76?

I hate how so many of these BF laptops seem to use unique specs so it's hard to find good reviews on them.

I think the 11800h and 5800h are both very capable for games, one being better than the other is probably marginal or varies from game to game.

The GE76 does have the full 130 watt 3060 whereas this one only has the 85 watt 3060 so that's a HUGE disadvantage. GE76 also gets a 1TB SSD vs 512GB SSD here. The big question is the screen on both- there's very little detail on either screen outside of them being 1080p/144hz.

Power levels matter. You could be overpaying depending on what they set the gpu tdp at. Edit: For example, because Nvidia thought it was smart to allow manufacturers to play with tdp on all the 3000 series gpu you can't always assume a 3070 is way better than a 3060. The 3060 could be running at 130w while that 3070 only 80w. Yet price difference between the 2 could be several hundred dollars.

I can't say much about this one, but I bought the GE76 when it was on sale for $1299 and it has been excellent. The fans work well and it doesn't get too hot when gaming at 120 Hz 1080p

I just picked up the GE76 today. I missed out on some good deals. Couldn't pass that up for the specs and price

As far as I can find, this model Nitro 5 is limited to 85W, 3060 or 3070, so you'll be under-powered compared to some other 3060s.

It has been upgraded with their latest bios update. 3060 is now 90Wv+5W with dynamic boost and 3070 is now 95W + 5W.

Oh, that's definitely better then. Though might still lag behind Legion L5Pros which are 115W I believe. Though those are usually $1400 machines. Decent deal now if its 90-95W.

The GE76 is definitely the better deal if your aim is to play. It has a RTX™ 3060 with 130W Maximum Graphics Power, instead of the 95W on this one.

Plus with the Intel i7-11800H, which is also better for gaming, but more power hungry.

Nope, specially for gaming.

Thunderbolt 4 might come handy to some as well.
