The cooling solution in gigabytes laptop that they showed at CES looks the same as 2020. Bit disappointed by that. Waiting for some detailed reviews and comparisons.

I recently paid a small fortune for a Legion 7 2080 Super... now I see shiny new 30s coming out, such is computing I guess :)

Same but tbh I’m not finding anything I do with current Legion 7 a struggle tbh it’s way more than I need must fight the new tech itch. The 16x10 25600 x 1600 screen is what’s tempting me tbh....

How well is that resolution supported in games?
I have a 32” UW and not all games support it - 16:9 isn’t best for productivity but it’s safest for gaming.

For me just having the extra res and screen height would be nice. Tbh I don’t game very much on the laptop other than the odd bit off Civ or Anno.

Hi All, Some of our new RTX 30xx have just gone live at OcUK.

Confident we have a good mix of Ryzen 5000 Series / Intel 11th Gen and also some very good price points as well

3060's

TUF A15 15.6" / R7 4800H / RTX 3060 / 512GB / 8GB DDR IV £999.99 and available for pre order

TUF DASH 15.6" / i7-11370H / RTX 3060 / 512GB / 8GB DDR IV £999.99 and available for pre order

ROG Strix / 15.6" 144Hz / R7 5800H / RTX 3060 / 512GB / 16Gb DDR IV £1,399.99 and available for pre order

3070's

TUF DASH 15.6" / i7-11370H / RTX 3070 / 512GB / 16GB DDR IV £1,299.99 and available for pre order

ROG Strix / 15.6" 300Hz / R7 5800H / RTX 3070 / 1TB / 16Gb DDR IV £1,699.99 and available for pre order

RTX 3080's

The start of our 3080 show will be going live tomorrow I think but it's new Zephyrus priced around £1999.99

ROG Zephyrus / 15.6" WVQHD (2560 x 1440 @ 165hz) / R9 5900HS / RTX 3080 16GB / 1TB / 32Gb DDR IV £2,599.99 and available for pre order

Zephyrus X13 Flow 13.4" WUXGA @ 120Hz / R9-5980HS / GTX 1650 / 512GB / 16GB + RTX 3080 Dock and available for pre order

The X13 uses the dock via PCI-E Gen3 so there should you should be able to enjoy no loss of bandwidth. As well as new ID's across the range, a small point is that the battery has been upgraded from previous generations in pretty much all new laptops. AMD TUF / Strix / Zephyrus will come will come with 90whr battery and new Intel will come with 76Whr. So when you consider a more efficient CPU and bigger battery, it gives you a little bit more legs on the go.

More of our range will be going live in the coming days.

I've never really wanted a gaming laptop.

I've recently been using a Lenovo Legion (1660Ti with an Intel chip) from work and I've really enjoyed it.

I've found gaming laptop pricing to be absolutely all over the place, absolutely no consistency and ultimately I'm left feeling in a mixed bag with the new stuff.

How much will ; ▷ ASUS ROG ZEPHYRUS G14 GA401IV NVIDIA RTX 2060… | OcUK (overclockers.co.uk) this fall to (Given that the replacement is better in every single metric, and IMO makes the other offerings look a bit meh for that type of laptop) as potentially I'd be interested in one.

Cheers.

Hi Martini, good question.

The GA401IV (RTX 2060) will go on offer later in this week If I remember correctly, I doubt it will be getting close to £999.99 though. The refresh on this with 3060 is more likely to come around March time.

That's a shame, you'd basically read my mind, I'd have bought it at £999.99.

I've seen that all the Asus laptop's seem to be around March time.
I've seen the G15 with 1660Ti Max Q and R7 4800H for £899.99 and that's currently where my head is at.

Or wait for the Lenovo 2060/4800H hits £999.99 or wait for their 3060 and Ryzen pricing.

I just want to buy a laptop as soon as possible, and ideally £999.99 is my top tier for a last generation.

If I wanted to up my budget I'd probably go for ; ▷ ASUS ROG STRIX G15 G513IR NVIDIA RTX 3070, 16… | OcUK (overclockers.co.uk)

I mean I'd also be interested in this at the right price too ▷ ASUS ROG ZEPHYRUS G14 GA401IU NVIDIA GTX 1660… | OcUK (overclockers.co.uk)

Hi LiE

It's not live yet but there will be a Zephyrus at the £2k mark.

Links I put up tonight were just some of the new range, not an exhaustive list. Hope that helps.

Thanks. The 3080 Zephyrus looks like a phenomenal machine tbh. When are they landing?
