Hi, everyone!
I’m thinking about purchasing a new laptop and I’m not sure which one to pick. I’ve discovered three options:
1. Asus Rog Strix G15 G513IE - R7 4800H, 8GB RAM, 512 M.2 SSD, RTX 3050 Ti
2. Asus Tuf Gaming F15 FX506HE - I5 11400H, 16GB RAM, 512 M.2 SSD, RTX 3050 Ti
3. Lenovo Legion 5 15IMH6 - I5 10500H, 8GB RAM, 512 M.2 SSD, RTX 3050 Ti
If you have any other recommendations, let me know. I’m not interested in RGB options.
Also, I already have two extra RAM sticks to upgrade the single 8GB ones from my previous laptop, which are compatible. I’m aiming for good performance and stable temperatures, mainly for gaming. The RTX 3060 models are too expensive, so I’ll go with the RTX 3050 Ti.
Thanks!
Hey there,
I think I'll go with the Strix. The R4800 CPU is powerful and stays cooler compared to Intel's options. It has an 8-core, 16-thread configuration, while Intel's are 6 cores with 12 threads.
The faster screen (165hz) might be a bit misleading in marketing. Most games won't hit close to 165hz at 1080p, and they won't reach 144hz either, so it shouldn't bother me much. I'd still prefer the Strix.
