Is what we picked up. First time I've ordered a laptop without actually messing with it first. This likely will be used as more of a workstation/desktop replacement. Looking forward.

Package just showed up! Unboxing now.

Slightly off topic, but with the G14, it was made clear that the RTX 2060 is the 60W max-Q version. Do you know if this Asus TUF RTX 2060 is the full 90W version? (Well, it sounds like you're getting the 1660 Ti, but the same question applies, since they also sell that in both 60W Max-Q and full 80W versions.)

ETA: This seems to hint it is the 90W version https://www.ultrabookreview.com/36108-asus-tuf-gaming-fa506i...

I'd love to see a comparison between this and a $3000 Macbook Pro.

Plus, look at all those ports that Apple will never give you!

Thanks for the link, this might be my new laptop.

CPU shows 20,349. The only other Windows box I have is an old first gen threadripper 1950x, which scores around 29,373.

She needs to finish downloading the Creative Cloud kit before I see how it stacks up to some older i9 macs.

It's very certainly faster by a healthy margin, with slightly worse build quality and a worse screen.

I kept a bookmark just to come back to this thread later. Would you mind sharing your experience so far?
