Solid Deal, the other laptops in those links either have an old gen intel processor, slower ryzen processors, ddr4 instead of ddr5 for that Tuf laptop, worse screen, etc. Rtx 4070 vs 4060 on a laptop is only a 10% difference in speed at best.

How does this compare/contrast to this Lenovo (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr...o_5i.html) with the same GPU and CPU for $250 more?

I'm looking for a mid-level gaming laptop that I can connect to an external monitor while gaming but also use around the house for surfing/excel/etc. Rarely would be using it outside the home.

Thanks

What is the issue with a monitor being 60hz? Isn't as long as the monitor isn't 30hz then it's good? I heard 30hz with a 4k monitor is when there is stuttering and freezing?


So as long as you aren't playing games, 60hz is fine? You doing anything else but playing games is fine?

It would be interesting to see how the two stack up to each other in various games... The other one has a full wattage 4070 in it instead of the 4060 in this one.

Significantly better GPU, thats what matters when you are gaming, the CPU unless you running 3's/5's all low level dont matter for anything. Very few games are CPU dependent, you are welcome for the knowledge!

With the 6% cash back and whatever your credit cards have, makes it pretty worth the gamble.

The 4060 graphic card can come with 6 GB or 8gb… you may want to update the title and description regarding that
I thought 4050 was 6gb and 4060 was 8gb

What are people talking about saying the intel is significantly weaker?
Both the Intel i7-13700HX and AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS are almost exactly the same..
the i7 has 16 cores vs 8 on Ryzen (but it's not REALLY all 16 cores being used)

CPU BENCHMARKS [cpubenchmark.net]

This deal is $999.99 for the Intel cpu + RTX 4060 + 1tb ssd,
vs
Walmart $1029.99 for for the Ryzen cpu + RTX 4070 + 516gb ssd.

RTX 4060 vs RTX 4070 difference is 10% at most.
Intel cpu is slightly better and you get 1tb SSD instead of 512gb.

$30 more for 50% less storage, 10% better gpu, and slightly worse cpu?
or $30 less for 50% more storage, 10% worse gpu, and slightly better cpu?

A meh deal when a new CPU with a full power 4070 can be had for around $1000, like the new acer nitro from walmart and it even has a high rez screen.
That is $30 more expensive for slightly better GPU/rez for slightly worst CPU. However, this one has Gen 4 1TB SSD more than the Ryzen version, and this Intel version has Thunderbolt 4 as well (eGPU). I don't understand how this is a meh deal, when other than the GPU/rez, this one seems to have better specs overall.

Because the GPU is the big difference, more important than TB4 or anything else. The GPU will easily outpace the 4060 by 10-20% increase in FPS.

10% would be the bare minimum on all things equal not the max.... Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

So yes the 4070 is worth it if your main interest is in a more capable gaming laptop. Especially at $30 more...

How is the fan noise on this? Looking for a fast but quiet machine for music production. Thanks.
Ahh it's noisy but not effecting me. I use same one with 4050 versions. Screen excellent, no tons of bloatware, screen is very good bright and MS is good. Keyboard is weak side, buttons are like membrane smushing, after using mec kb while doesn't like it at all. Easy open and upgrade to ssd and ram. Power brick is kind a big but good. You can set up silent mode with couple buttons. You can setup 3 monitors on it. If you have display-link adapter it can go up to 5-6. IO is well enough for anyone. I picked up this for build quality. All hp omens and especially asus tuf series are super cheap materials. I highly recommend to go bestbuy and check material quality. Acer is really good. Tuf asus are worst than any machine.
