I realy like this one..

been running all kind of benchmarks.. the 3060 dont go over 75 degrees..

Close to 18,000 score on Cinebench.. amazing.. beating 16/32 core/thread ADM Threadripper
(Screenshots at the bottom)

build quality is amazing, i hate Lenovo putting numpads on they gaming laptop keyboards..

Keyboard on the ROG awesome 1.7mm travel, big keys, alot of space.. huge trackpad..

Display is fk great.. 16" 1920x1200 500 nits .. alot of space..

Soo many ports.. including an RJ45 Ethernet one, Laptop can charge with USB-C when on the go, The WiFi card is not soldered - can be upgraded if needed..

Fans are loud under max stress yeah, no way arround it, you want it to be able to cool of the silicone..

Going to install an 2T Samsung 990Pro SSD i got fro one of the current deals here - $144 and should be perfect

i have no complains about that one.. exactly what i wanted.. did not need stronger video card, the display res is perfect for the 3060 to run.. etc etc.. keeping it.

TERRIBLE DEAL. There's this one https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus...Id=6464203 with the QHD display i9 Processor and 1tb SSD for less money in Excellent condition. LOOOL.
That 12th-gen i7 is better than your 11th-gen i9....
Plus you're getting DDR5 and PCIe 4.0, versus DDR4 and the PCIe 3.0 drive in your choice.

Nerd.. you are wrong


11 gen i9
DDR4

i7 is better in laptops as same cores/treads but less heat

1900x1200 is perfect res for a RTX3060

Samsung 990 Pro 1T is $80

Lol dude defends it by stating you have to spend more money and ignores the QHD display that you will NEVER replace on this worse choice laptop...3060 runs 2k graphics EASILY...

3060 👉 100W+20W Dynamic Boost

The M16 the other person is saying is better only had a 3060 with 95W with Dynamic Boost...

I used to swear by Asus ROG lines of gaming laptops. But no more. Lenovo Legion/Pro series for me from now on.

Please correct this listing. The screen resolution is 2560 x 1600! That is also the way BB lists it under "Specifications." To get that resolution all you need to do is go into the NVDIA graphics software and choose "custom settings" and set the screen to 2560x1600 . After that when you check your display settings in Windows you will see it is now 2560 x 1600. I got this for $1200 (open box excellent) on BF —it is an excellent laptop. It has a second NVMe SSD slot so if you put a fast 2TB drive in that second slot you are all set. I also got a one inch tall laptop stand with 4 fans for $35 and that keeps the onboard fans from having to work hard but that isn't really necessary. I really like this laptop but note that when you buy open box your factory warranty starts from the day the prior owner bought the item.
