And regarding 2280 or 2242, those indicate the dimesion of the SSD. 2280 means 22mm wide and 80mm long and 2242 means 22mm wide and 42mm long. Normally if you have a 2280 sized slot, it will fit the smaller size SSDs as well, like 2242 and 2260.

When you compare this to the Slim 7i, the former takes a 20fps hit simply because of the resolution (even though the TDP is 40w higher).
If you are not a hardcore gamer this machine will still get over 30fps in Cyberpunk High with DLSS and the QHD screen is one of the best going around in a gaming laptop.
One last thing, if you want to game on the go (e.g. on a plane with power limits) my experience is that you need to lower settings to reduce power draw. The QHD resolution will make it harder to turn down settings / reduce power consumption. I know this is an edge case for most people but thought I'd mention it.

Warranty, return policy, etc. may be more enticing. Note: intel i7-12700 vs. AMD and 3050ti vs 3060
3060 better:

Probably come down to power consumption between AMD vs. i7, not much else to see here.

Food for thought. I'm still on the fence with BF, but may drop on the AMD and just return if something else comes along.

[*]512GB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0x4 NVMe SSD + Empty M.2 Slot

Based on your recommendation, I bought this laptop. I want to supplement the hard drive with a M.2 drive. When looking to buy this drive, do I need to check anything else other than "m.2". For instance, are there different types of M.2 connections nvme and non nvme, etc? Also are there any deals on that drive that you recommend?
what about the one in the link below. Rather than 4.0X4 it is 3X4. will it be too thick to fit into the space? Thanks

Thanks!
This may sell out like the Helios did. I might buy it and sit on it with the extended holiday window and see if a better deal breaks before Christmas.

2. How easy is it to install a second drive? Is there any danger once could throw things off by trying to fit the drive? How does it fit in? Do you just slide it in?
Thanks.

This Legion: very good thermals, high power delivery, very good higher resolution 16:10 display 500 nits 100% srgb, maybe 7 hrs battery light work, decent fan profiles with hotkeys, best buuld and no lid flex, good extended warranty options.
Asus g15 strix AE $1099 @ BB: good thermals but maybe not as go9d as the other 2, higher res display than helios, but 16:9, decent fan profiles but could be the potentially loudest on high perf, 10 hrs on l9ght work, 100% dci-p3 300-350nits. Only gen3 ssd. 6800m may be faster than 3060 and closer to between 3070 and 3080. 12gb vram vs 6gb, high power delivery. New batches should have liquid metal issue and sother issues worked out. Slow ram with single rank memory may be addressed on some batches. For video editing the amd dgpu may not be as performant as nvidia with cuda. Also no dlss or raytracing.
I went with the strix for the color gamut, battery life and competitive gpu. Really wanted tb4 and egpu support for longevity but realistically may never do the egpu and the pros outweighed the lack of tb4 for my use case.
I would say 1000-1100 is the new everyday price for this range. What is best will depend on which strengths you value most.
