I saw the whole review and it's clear from that review that that reviewer did not actually have any color measurement and display quality measurement hardware and what he actually did is basically googled for a review and found out the one in Notebookcheck.net [notebookcheck.net] and simply copy pasted the details from there in his review. Go and check. What he failed to realize that the Laptop model from Notebookcheck is G5 GD.
Now check the Product link from B&H in the Original Post and check the Display section of the spec which is 72% NTSC, equivalent to 99% sRGB which means the reviewers figures are actually wrong.
·
Note: the 75W TGP of the RTX 3060 graphics card mentioned in Newegg page is wrong, that is the GPU TGP for the RTX 3050 Ti model. Check the official product link mentioned below to get the correct details:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Laptop/G...-Gen/sp#sp

This RTX 3060 can be configured between 80W to 90W from the Gigabyte Control Center. On top of that, it can use up to 15W using Dynamic Boost.

Processor wise may not be but GPU performance, yes. That RTX 2060 is a 60W TGP version and less powerful than a normal 90W RTX 2060. This 100W RTX 3060 is even good amount faster than a full powered RTX 2060.

The laptop deals are heating up! I was almost certain I was going with the $800 MicroCenter MSI GF66 11800H/3060 but now there's this deal and also the Gigabyte Aorus 15P 11800H/3070 for $1200 too. I can't decide Confused

That's weird because the 3050ti model has the same cooling system, so why would TDP be lower? I believe it's 95w?

Avoid GF66 entirely mate. Shoddy chassis

Omen 15 3060 is 949, get that or the Aorus
