Owned this. Do not buy it. Thermal throttles beyond all hell. I've owned a few gaming laptops in my time and totally understand they get hot.

This however, was completely unacceptable.
I am sure YOU will fill us in.

Quote from itoito06 :
I have the 3070 version of this laptop and absolutely love it. Dont game a ton besides the occasional call of duty or warzone sessions, but it runs it really well for extended periods of time. I have the laptop connected to a 1440p 165hz monitor through a usb c to displayport adapter and avg around 120-140fps on my current settings. Laptop definitely gets a little warm, but I usually put it on its side to allow it to breathe a bit better. Gpu temps rarely go over 70. Cant recommend it enough

Also I realize the deal is for the 3060 version, but I cant imagine it being too far off of my experience.

I can recommend it "enough" ok for gaming. So wanted to like it, but the screen is short. Asus made the 16" screen which is an inch taller for intel cpus in EXACT same chassis.

Have to stick with 14.5" Lenovo slim 7 pro x (which actually has a taller screen than this) until I find a sale on M16 or thinkpad x1 extreme

Edit: M16 has better screen and less bezels but this lasts longer on battery and has a faster GPU.

Biggest misses by Asus is soldering the first memory chip and not adding usb4 ports...
How is this a better GPU? They are both 3060s it seems...

I think MSI from Walmart is better deal - 1299$

MSI Katana GF66 15.6" Gaming Notebook, FHD 144Hz 1920 x 1080, Intel Core 12th Gen i9-12900H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070Ti, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Black, Windows 11, 12UGSK-831
https://www.walmart.com/ip/1118880621

Was just looking at these to do machine learning and ending up getting this one for $999 on sale two days ago: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-...Id=6496176

For the price I think the Walmart deal is a great deal as it has a 3070 which is much faster than the 3060.

This model specifically? I just purchased the 2021 g14 Ryzen 7 with 3060 from best buy 2 days ago. What say thee about the zephyrus collection ? Thank you for your time my liege 🙇

is it because it's a R9 and it's using more watts?
Sorry for the late reply. Anything over 4-6 core and a mid tier GPU throttles like hell on laptops. I've been in this space for a long time and unfortunately this just doesnt change.
