killamch89 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Due to the Intel versions being released later this year, most manufacturers have gone with AMD mobile processors this year so we're seeing some powerful AMD mobile CPUs paired with the mobile 3070 and 3080s and they all come with QHD panels. I can't lie, it seem gaming laptops are going to be far more powerful this year with an improvement in performance of 41% and above in some leaked benchmarks compared to previous generations. What do you guys think of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 What is the name of this series of the ROG laptops? I have not seen this build. Looks pretty much premium business level like design. is it gaming or business laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shole Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I bought Asus ROG Strix III I mean I had only one problem where the procesor burned because the cooler wasn't setup good. So eah other than that I fully recomend it. Tho it might be really loud at times, it is a great laptopm. This one looks just massive, but if you are a streamer this is the go to thing.

Gaming laptops but the design has matured quite a bit to look a bit more business-like 1 hour ago, Shole said: I bought Asus ROG Strix III I mean I had only one problem where the procesor burned because the cooler wasn't setup good.

ROG is intel make so it's odd to see processor cooling not being taken care of. I think must be sloppy untested product. I am using the TUF series of ASUS and so far good enough.

Patrik Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 the only issue with these is that they are offering lower performance than their desktop variants, i'm not saying they are bad, i'm just saying you are paying more (paying the price of a 3080 with the performance of a desktop 3070) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Love it when company go for a good minimalistic design on a "budget" model and not just putting powerful chips in it, the balance between design and power is important and looking forward for more company to do this kind of laptop 🙂 Well, Asus is definitely the king of gaming laptops in my eyes, especially if they don't change pricing (at least for the lower end models) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'm not a big fan of asus, because my last laptop made it tough to upgrade, as I had to take the whole thing apart to access the ram area and other parts of the PC. It was only a cheap old laptop though, so maybe they have made their new laptops more accessible to upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can;t dislike a brand for only using one of there products and also as you said it was cheap and whatnot. Most Laptops you only can do o much upgrads and that it. I mean Storage and ram.

But then again Desktop is the way to go then Laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the only thing that would let me buy a laptop over a desktop is only when i'm not planning to live in a stable place, otherwise i'd go for Desktops because they are cheaper and better and less problematic (heat issues are less known in desktops like they do on laptops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
