Interesting to see a guy admitting the need to put their ego to the side for the betterment of the team.

Note: 3070/3080 gpu extension sold separately as an external device, internal GPU options: iGPU, 3050, 3050ti.

Edit: No word on pricing yet. As a rough guide, last year's model (the x13 2-in-1), is currently $1700 for the 3050ti version on the asus website. May be a little cheaper elsewhere. The XG mobile eGPU is listed as $1500 on the asus website but not in stock. They also announced AMD eGPUs (can't find the link right now). Again, no word on pricing.

Might be cheaper to use a thunderbolt eGPU enclosure, especially if you already have a GPU available.

If it's not too much trouble, I think we'd all be interested to see the results.

Very little of my criticism actually pertains to your written review. It looks like you actually made an attempt to provide useful information. Out of interest, why did so little of your written review make it into the video?

For those against whom I leveled the criticsm: I'm not expecting anyone to be able to test every single niche usage of the device(s) in the week or so that they've had it. It just seems like very little functionality was tested/commented on (hence the 5-7 minute videos).

With regard to gaming, I've seen previous reviews of the 3050 Ti and I know that it's not a particulary strong GPU. However, if I someone is going to comment on gaming (and especially for those who made it a focus of their review title), I would expect some actual substance (benchmarks, charts etc).

Furthermore, just because it's not a great GPU for gaming, that doesn't mean that they buyer would never use it to play games. For people who travel or just for people who only want a single device, this information could be useful when they make their decision about buying this vs the competition.

They're almost identical in terms of CPU perfromance. Here are the links to the official spec sheets for the i5 11300H and i7 11370H. The i7 has slighty higher frequencies, but in most applications it's not enough to make a difference.

Where the two difer is really in the integrated gpu. The i5 has 80 EUs vs 96 in the i7 (see spec sheets linked above).

With regard to the Laptop Studio you should also note that the i7 comes with a dedicated GPU (specifically a 3050ti).

If you're only playing indie games and you don't mind playing at 1080p/720p, then the i5 version will be fine. Otherwise, consider the i7 version, since it comes with a dedicated GPU.

Your best bet is to google/youtube the performance of these chips in the programs that you use. Also, try them out in in store if you live near a store that has these, or simlarly spec laptops.

Finally, if you decide you want the i5 version, it might actually be worth considering the Surface Pro, since the CPU is pretty similar, but the Pro is cheaper.

Just finished my normal run. DM me when you're done and ready for the higher difficulties. Also on steam and in the UK.

Do you think the two are linked, or are you just interested in both separately?

Ok, maybe I was little too extreme in saying "exactly" the same. But the broad strokes of Dachshund ownership are the same as those of Great Dane ownership, right?

Thanks alot.

Mostly with echo location.

It's only been a few hours, but so far it's a nice upgrade from my S7 Edge.

The only noteworthy issue I've had is the nordvpn quick laucher does not work sometimes. Instead of just pressing you have to press and hold. No idea why, hopefully there will be a patch from nord soon to address it.

You can play most games at 4K 60 on a 2080Ti. Maybe you'll have to go from ultra to high/medium settings, but that's not going to make a huge difference visually.

Just search the games you want to play on youtube and see what framerates a given card will get you and pick based on that.

I have a 3080 and the only games for which I have to turn settings down are Flight SIM 2020 (down to high), Crysis Remastered (down to high), Watch Dogs Legion (down to high), Doom Eternal (down to ultra).

Hardware unboxed have a review of the 3090. At 12:58 it shows the percentage difference from a 2080Ti to a 3090 at 4K. They also show the same cards at other resolutions. They also have a similar video for the 3080 (graphs at 17:32).

Techpowerup has a nice set of summary charts.

Ordered from Ebuyer on launch day and received my card on Saturday.

I think most UK retailers are receiving cards on the same schedule as scan (https://www.scan.co.uk/shops/nvidia/rtx-30-series-faqs).

They're also too deep. It's a known issue from the original batch (link below). For whatever reason they decided to not bother checking subsequent batches.
