On Ryzen 7 probably and cheaper build
They had to cut corners somewhere and unfortunately chose the display to do so.

Performance-wise, this is very similar to the full powered (140W) 3070 versions. You currently there is a Alienware on sale with the 3070 on sale for $1470. That is a much better deal. You save $500+ and you lose, in the worst case, around 3-5% performance.
I bought the 5800 version of this last year. Around the one year mark the laptop broke (power on issues) and is now in RMA.
I should have waited for the Alienware and MSI prices to drop, rather than buy this crap. Now I am in a $2000 hole. Not sure how the Asus RMA works, but it has been fine so far - they even provided me with a shipping label. I just had to buy the laptop box with fragile packaging for $28.
There have been known issues with the CPU/GPU thermal paste application (liquid metal), especially the AMD GPU versions. It is either that or the power brick just died in my case.
Mine can be an isolated issue, yes. Even then, dollar to donuts this isn't the value proposition that it once was.
Update : the Asus service center identified a mother board short as the reason for failure - so, most definitely the improperly applied thermal paste is what caused it to be bricked. They replaced the main board with minimal hassle though. After sales support is great.
Which models would you recommend
I'm still within the return window and debating if this would be worth the upgrade. I have a 10% off coupon that would bring this down to $1800...
