Currently B&H is selling this model with same CPU and RTX 4060 at just $1199 which in my opinion ia great deal.

AMD 7940HS' single core score of 1804 is very close to Intel 13700H. Not direct competitors but there it is with better thermals and power efficiency.

Finaly a video about this laptop. I bougth mine like 2 days ago. I tried out some games, it ran pretty good fps, about 120. Thanks for the video!

Nice review. Not too many reviews out there for this laptop even after month after release. Planning to buy one from BHPhotovideo with 4060 at $1200.
G14 with exact same config from BB (nebula display) is a good deal as well ($1600) however out of my budget.
Also you got a new subscriber :)
Keep up the good work.

This is a great generation of this laptop. Had a Ryzen 7 7735HS and RTX 4060 8GB variant which was amazing package. I had to return it because I use mainly laptop connected to external screen and Asus unfortunately, when lid was closed got hot as hell. When you played on it directly, thermal management was just amazing and fans were really quiet (specially in quiet mode).

Keep it up bro. Just found this channel and subscribed.

I bought the TUF A15 with 7735HS + 4060 for $1200 yesterday, so far so good. I would recommend that you remove all these stickers from day 1 before it makes parmenant marking on the chassis

Thanks for the review, there aren't many reviews for this specific configuration of the laptop. What are the temps of the CPU and GPU when gaming ?

[hellboy]

My dream laptop. Well i have to sell my both kidney to buy one

[megabaneen]

excellent review. does this support fast charging? and charging via usb c?

[MOTHIATMAN]

I'm from India and here usually laptop prices are very high due to taxes.

Now on to my question here im getting Asus tuf R7 7735HS rtx 4050 144hz 15.6inch FHD 100% srgb screen and Legion 5 5800h 3060 130w QHD 165hz 100% srgb screen model. Which one should I consider buying?

I was told 7735HS is rebranded 6800H which is already same as 5800H but with better igpu. So only graphics card performance, screen and build quality remains as differentiators. So please give ur suggesting and factors to consider either one of them.

Thanks in advance.

Big decision point is TUF A15 vs G14 with identical CPU/GPU (4060) config. My guess is G14 worth an extra $200 premium

[vmafarah]

How long can you game on battery? how long can it get if we lock fps to 60, 45 and 30 ? is the fps locking on gefroce experience gives better battery longevity? what about igpu gaming did it last longer? Does locking cpu clocks at 4ghz improved longevity and stable fps on battery.

[LoneWolf-ld]

Which one do you think better for price to overall ? Asus ROG G16 614JV ( 4060 + 13650hx ) or TUF A15 FA507XI ( 4070 + 7940HS ) ?

[deepak]

Hi, you mentioned the prices for 7940hs 4050 at 1300$ and with 4060 at 1400$.
What about the price of the 7940hs + 4070 variant?
I am most interested in purchasing that one, preferably the QHD 165Hz 300nit version.
Any idea how much that would cost?
Would it also be as easily available as the other models?

[gnw]

does the usb4 support thunderbolt 3/4?
also is the usb4 suppot PD 3.0 or 3.1?

[DeepteshLovesTECH]

Are these US prices? 1300 USD for 4050 is too much. 1400 usd for 4060 is ok since it's 8GB VRAM, still not ideal. But in India premium 3060 laptops cost the same for a long time.
So I assume the 4060 TUF will be 1400 pounds in UK and so 140k INR in India while the 4070 will be 1500 pounds or 150k INR in India.

does any ports support video output from iGPU (usb-c/hdmi) (you can test with nvidia disable)

[BizzareDood]

HAH I got this for sale for 800 bucks on micro center
