CPU:
Zephyrus G15: Ryzen9 5900HS
Scar 15: Ryzen9 5900HX
GPU:
Zephyrus G15: RTX 3070 up to 1390mhz (80W can be boosted to 100W)
Scar 15: RTX 3070 up to 1660mhz (115W can be boosted to 130W)
RAM:
Zephyrus G15: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (16GB is soldered on every model right? And there's one SODIMM slot for dual channel upgrade to 32 GB? Because I can't find a rtx3070 model with 32gb out the box. Or does the 3070 model come with 8gb soldered on and I need 24gb in slot?)
Scar 15: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz and x2 SODIMM slots.
Screen: QHD 1440p 165Hz both
Mainly want to use for gaming and medium level work. Is the 3080 model of either worth it? I heard it's not. Something about zephyrus g15's 3080 being the same die and Watt as it's 3070 model and don't know why in scar 15.
Also the Scar 15 features an optical mechanical keyboard along with a touchpad that includes an integrated numpad. I’m not sure what those terms mean, nor do I know which one is preferable. There are more ports available in the Zephyrus G15 than in the Scar 15, but I’m uncertain about which ones are most important. Lastly, I was wondering if there’s a Scar 15 model called Strix G15? I thought it was a different version such as the Advantage Edition, and there was also a Strix G17. What exactly is a Strix G15 scar?
I possess a ROG Zephyrus G15 laptop. It is truly excellent and quick. You won't be disappointed with your choice!
