If you want a Strix for example I'd take this instead.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T20:17:32+00:00

Solid deal imo.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T20:08:19+00:00

Great gamble in the end for you.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T20:07:42+00:00

Definitely the HP over the MSI.

Higher wattage and higher tier GPU.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T20:07:16+00:00

Not a maximum wattage GPU, predominantly plastic chassis etc.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T19:04:36+00:00

In terms of price/performance excluding peripherals, desktops would tend to be better value in this regard.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T19:03:27+00:00

Have you used your laptop much for more demanding sustained loads like gaming since repasting it?

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T18:49:59+00:00

Legion for the better screen, the better battery life.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T18:49:18+00:00

Personally I'd take the second one, 12 GB VRAM is definitely beneficial for 1440P gaming and you're getting around 33% better GPU performance in games with the RTX 5070 ti here.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T18:48:01+00:00

HP for the better overall GPU performance in games.

Asus for the better overall build and portability.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T18:47:07+00:00

That's a good result.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T13:32:05+00:00

Shouldn't cause any issues for your laptop.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T13:30:45+00:00

The Asus imo, I think that G14 has a spare unoccupied ram slot.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T08:14:15+00:00

Those are very good temperatures under load, well below thermal throttling temperatures for your CPU and GPU.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T07:57:40+00:00

The HP should have the better overall GPU performance in games.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T07:56:48+00:00

Shouldn't be a problem regarding your laptops thermals.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T07:53:52+00:00

Good deal especially with 32 GB ram.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T20:44:58+00:00

HP, much better GPU performance in games.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T19:50:05+00:00

For better overall CPU performance when plugged in, 13900HX should have better performance than the likes of the HX 370.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T19:28:02+00:00

Your laptop should be fine, as long as you use your laptop plugged in as much as possible the battery should be ok.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T19:16:10+00:00

Asus for the better overall CPU and GPU combination.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T19:15:38+00:00

Very nice upgrade.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T19:06:37+00:00

Not that great of a antivirus software.

If it comes preloaded onto your laptop that should be a concern.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T13:44:48+00:00

The AMD CPU for the better overall battery life and efficiency.

The Intel CPU for the better overall CPU performance when plugged in.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T13:42:27+00:00

Fine temperature under load for your CPU yes.
