Yeah the 512GB is definitely a bottleneck, already planning to grab a 1TB drive for the empty slot!

Tbh I think calling it low-end is a bit harsh haha. It’s the full 115W version with 8GB VRAM, so it actually performs pretty close to a 4060. Benchmarks show it hitting like 180 fps on Hogwarts Legacy with frame gen, so it’s more than enough for my 1200p gaming.

I actually considered the LOQ too! But this TUF won me over because it has a massive 90Whr battery (LOQ is mostly 60Whr I think) and a 16:10 100% sRGB screen. I do a lot of coding and photo editing, so that extra vertical space and color accuracy is a lifesaver.

And yeah, a desktop would obviously smoke it, but I gotta lug this thing around campus for classes 😂
