ASUS ROG Strix G15 AE Gaming Laptop: Ryzen 9 5980HX, 15.6", 512GB SSD, RX 6800M Expired

Right, but you're not playing at 1080p on this laptop, you're playing 1440p… the 4060 is only ~12% faster on average than a 3060 ( https://youtu.be/BwZfEqkuXqs ) at 1440p, and that resolution represents true GPU power better than 1080p resolution does; also, the MSI Katana display is absolute trash (like budget $600 laptop bad), as is the build quality and battery life. I looked at many laptops (Lenovo, Dell, MSI, Alienware) and tested them and the Asus is solid and my top choice, especially at the $920 price point which I got a couple weeks ago at BB. But enjoy the MSI if that's your choice, either way you're gonna have a good time lol

-edit : as far as "heat and noise" go, the Asus is also quieter on the performance power setting than the MSI, the AW, and Dell that I tested, the lenovo seemed the quietest of the bunch but was also least powerful with a 5600h and a 3050 in it; on the turbo setting the Asus becomes as loud as the others but the fans aren't as high pitched and therefore less obtrusive, if that makes sense. What's great in the Asus is that the wattage can be controlled down to a single watt with Armoury crate (from 5-100w for the CPU and 5-190w for the GPU I believe, which gives excellent control of power and therefore temps, running the CPU at 45W yields 72C on stress testing (with only a marginal decrease in performance at ~10%) while the AW I had with the i7 went up to 95C at full load even with an undervolt (and the 12th/13th gen intels are even worse with their temps); unless you set TCC in the AW BIOS to 10-15 which caused significant decreases in cpu clock speed as soon as the temp limit was reached causing stutters); Asus GPU runs about 82-84C at the maximum TDP of 190w with custom settings and approx 76-78 on the Turbo setting with stress testing which is about the same as the other laptops. If you set the fan curve to be even more aggressive the temps improve by a couple of celsius on the CPU/GPU. Lots of info here it's late excuse the grammatical or syntax errors I'm tired had a long day.

One of the best laptop up to 1K. RX6800M is super powerful. GPU TDP is around 165W in turbo mode. Great QHD screen.
CPU is not powerful as i7 or i9 12th gen , but in general everything works amazingly fine !

P.S. I wish to see more RX6800M and RX6850M with a full TDP in more laptops . This card is not expensive as RTX 3070Ti or RTX 3080 , but can beat them in a lot of games.

Supposedly folks replace the stock Wi-Fi with an Intel based one for about $20
