Advantages of the laptop: everything will be in one machine (online classes on Zoom and gaming) and the lower price
Advantages of the desktop: 6GB of video memory and adding or replacing fans and heatsinks can reduce thermal throttling
This gives you an idea how the 4GB on the laptop versus the 6GB on the desktop can affect performance in the newest games with ray tracing https://www.notebookcheck.net/The...768.0.html [notebookcheck.net]
For old games like Roblox (your kid) or Minecraft (my kids), the 3050 and 1660TI should perform similarly. I was actually contemplating buying a refurb Asus (out of stock now) https://www.ebay.com/itm/374049050648 for $240 and adding a video card, but then I jumped on the laptop deal yesterday because I can just replace their current m5 6y57 laptops with the G15s (instead of having them do Zoom stuff on the laptop and gaming stuff on the desktop)
I mine Ethereum on my gaming rigs as well, and when the merge happens, all the hash power will flood the other smaller coins and the mining difficulty for them will increase exponentially. GPU mining will become completely unprofitable unless you have a deal struck with the power company for heavily reduced price per kwh like BTC miners have.

* the B550 motherboard only has 2 fan headers so you will need a fan splitter
Upgradeability.
Better expandability.
Better keyboard and Monitor options.
Servicability.
Maybe not "need" but the above are legit reasons peole prefer desktop.
Most people for most uses probably don't 'need' a desktop over a laptop.
You're claiming that they ship an acrylic panel with the system that is not meant for use?
I think thats quite unlkely. Where do you get that idea?
If this was the case then I'd expect to see documentation from Asus to explain that to users.
I guess I haven't seen many super ultrawides or triples hooked up to a laptop.

I have a cyberpower i5-2500k and i purchased a Strix G10CE with a ridicular low price from Amazon last week. I notice that the fan creates big noise when load is medium and the power supply is just 500w. Really want to switch to my old case and use my old 1000w gold PSU. Do you need to take the CPU off? Mine is a 11th intel with 3060.
Thanks!
