Agreed. RTX 4070 do not make sense for the price of this laptop. The 24 sec Blender Classroom compares to a 30 sec RTX3060...we are at point that buying a older gen laptop with 3070 or 3080 makes sense. I am not sure Nvidia and Asus want that.

Kudos to Asus for the screen quality that was not only thought for gaming.
Externally and closed the laptop looks even  techno pro-elegant from the top. But opening it the ROG strix dash across keyboard looks too gamey.

With this size of case they have enough space for battery 1.5 times the battery size they used , 3 storage drive (instead of 2) and more usbs (types a and c)

Not really, no manufacturer ever uses a battery larger than 99.9Wh because you can't legally fly with a battery of larger size. There might be room in the chassis but unless law changes - 99.9wH will be an absolute limit

Loved it <3

I happened to watch some videos featuring the units in the game on YouTube the other night. That really took me back a long time (to when I was about 7 years old!).

Remember nowadays many phones have two batteries, often in the name of fast charging...Nothing really prohibits a device of this size from using two 90Wh batteries, especially if they're removable...
