60Hz display
I don't see a point to have a 3070ti with a useless gaming display.

At 60hz, it's a no-go. Thanks!

The predator helios is a much better deal. 12700, 3070ti, 240Hz.
I nearly exclusively use OLED laptops, 60Hz is an absolute deal breaker and very noticeable.

You must be trolling. This laptop has 100% adobeRGB coverage, its main target is not gaming.

This whole product screams "I don't know what this is for!".

Screen: An amazing 4k color-accurate display for photo and video editing, but limited to 60hz and undesirable for gaming.

Processor: good all-around but also a last-gen part and more than a little behind on the power-efficiency front, and frankly not the best option for a mobile-workstation -especially considering it is an H-series chip which is tuned for higher-performance and draws far more power than a U-series part. Quite good for gaming however.

RAM: Only 16GB, which is suitable for gaming but only half what you would want for only moderate video editing -fine for photo editing.

GPU: a decently high-performance mobile gaming card, but equipped only with 8GB of video memory. This is suitable for gaming and photo editing, but 4k video editing can easily require double that depending on the complexity of the edit. A 3070ti (mobile) is also not particularly good for gaming at 4k resolution.

Storage: an odd configuration, but the capacity leads me to believe that Asus thinks this product is aimed at video-editing, as 4k video projects can take up huge amounts of storage space.

Overall you have a device with a fantastic 4k color-accurate display that's perfect for 4k video editing, but has been paired with a GPU that's not suitable for anything but simple edits due to the memory constraints it has, and the GPU is also not capable enough to drive games on the display at its' native resolution -what it is good for is gaming at 1080p or 1440p at higher refresh-rates, which the display is incapable of displaying higher than 60 fps due to its' 60hz limitation. Beyond that, it's only equipped with 16GB of RAM, which isn't suitable for 4k video editing.

It's not necessarily a "bad" product, but the choices that went into the configuration are dubious at best. Also the price is actually terrible. $1800 and only 16GB of RAM? Walmart has Gateway brand laptops for $280 that ship with 16GB of RAM! Asus couldn't scrounge up an extra $30 to double the memory it ships with when Wally-world can for their cheapest entry-level craptops?

Don't buy this because it's a bad product -don't buy it because they're pricing it like they think they're Apple when they're not even close.

Why the 3070ti then? I get the display, money would have been better spent on a better CPU/Ram/M.2 as those are what's most important.
