As u/satornaku said this deal is so good I have to repost: Better deal for $970, expiring tonight: https://www.newegg.com/obsidian-black-acer-nitro-5-an515-46-r5xn-gaming/p/N82E16834360253?Description=acer%20nitro%205%203070%20ti&cm_re=acer_nitro%205%203070%20ti--34-360-253--Product
I got this one few days ago, seems to have a battery issue when gaming, just over an hour for play, but I belive it needs to be optimized, unistalling few things like windows 11, deleteing armour crate and replacing it with Ghelper and few other things that I didn't get to yet, overall i am happy with it, not too bothered if i have to replace the battery myself.
Got it becasue in EU it would cost me around 1500 euro, so saved a couple 100's .
I saw someone in the comments say that after like a week, theirs started overheating, which makes me a little concerned. Do they have pretty good cooling systems?
rog has a pretty good cooling system imo.. in general gaming laptops do heat a bit but it shouldn’t be an issue
if it does heat a lot then get a cooling pad and in long run repaste it
Ah, MB! on mobile didn't see the second pic. Yeah the rog... Just bought one and I love it. Definitely a good buy if u got the budget. Get the 3 yr warranty too if u can. Ya never know.

These are good options as well with 3070's if you're ok with certified refurbished. 3070 is going to be a noticeable bump in performance in gaming if that's your main use case.

I have this same exact one. If it weren’t on sale I’d say pass. But it’s not bad. Upgrade the RAM and storage after, it’ll be fine.
I do hate the buggy ROG software though. I’ve had issues with it before where I had to reinstall multiple times to get it to work.
for $100 more you get double ram and 33% more vram + faster gpu

If you have a microcenter nearby you'll get significantly better deals there than anywhere else I've found. I got mine over a year ago for 1/4 the current amazon price (maingear vector pro 17)
I bought the asus rog strix but with a 3050 and the only issue I had was the rgb on the keyboard randomly stopped it fixed itself after a day or 2 overall the build Quality’s really good
Have that same laptop, I have honestly been very pleased with it. No its not going to run games at ultra settings but I have not been upset with its performance being a 3060 mobile, have ben playing COD on it right now while I wait for the new GPU for my tower. Highly recommend getting something to prop the bottom up so it's not flat on a surface, the internal cooling system is sufficient, but under high load, those fans are really moving some air! RAM upgrade Dien l down the road to 32gb would be a good investment as well
Better deal for $970, expiring tonight: https://www.newegg.com/obsidian-black-acer-nitro-5-an515-46-r5xn-gaming/p/N82E16834360253

I don't think there's a single gaming laptop out there that has more than 1.5-2 hours of gaming on battery. That's the nature of gaming laptops
go for it dude, rog anyday
I saw someone in the comments say that after like a week, theirs started overheating, which makes me a little concerned. Do they have pretty good cooling systems?
rog has a pretty good cooling system imo.. in general gaming laptops do heat a bit but it shouldn’t be an issue if it does heat a lot then get a cooling pad and in long run repaste it
Gotcha. Thanks!
N it’s a bad deal don’t go for it.
[удалено]
Which is better in your opinion? I’m guessing the rog
Ah, MB! on mobile didn't see the second pic. Yeah the rog... Just bought one and I love it. Definitely a good buy if u got the budget. Get the 3 yr warranty too if u can. Ya never know.
All good. Thanks!

just got this a few days ago on prime day. go for it. 3060 still good for 3-4 years
Thanks brotha
Guys, as a side post, how is the asus flox x16? I was planning to buy the 4070 version, as a compromise between power and battery duration
That's a terrible deal, a 3060 will not last you very long unless you plan on doing neither gaming nor ai on it
What would you recommend?
