Asus has been promoting its TUF Gaming A15 laptop on Twitter, revealing the high-end Renoir APU AMD Ryzen 9 4900H and the capable Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 GPU. The laptop has already been advertised for pre-order on a UK site for £1,399.99 (US$1,721) and should be available in mid July. There has been some criticism about the laptop's display, though.

So this is how laptop manufacturers are dealing with the fact that AMD CPUs have better performance than Intel CPUs.
Instead of making Intel laptops cheaper, make AMD laptops more expensive! After all, AMD CPUs have much better performance than Intel CPUs.
Manufacturers get to differentiate their product, and AMD gets a higher-end reputation. Everyone wins, right?
Well, everyone except the consumer.
Really? Taking advantage of AMD hype and overpricing products? f*** ASUS.
Who cares if it now has a 4900H instead of a 4800H? The 4800H in the Eluktronics RP-15 will still outperform it because the A15 has dogshit cooling.
And guess what? It has a 91%+ srgb screen and costs $500 less!

The 4800H A15 is $1200 (still not worth it over the RP-15 but I digress). The 4900H A15 is $1700.
I don't think AMD is pricing the 4900H $500 higher than the 4800H. This is just ASUS being a dogshit company any taking advantage of unknowing consumers who want AMD.
Now, eluktronics even added a larger battery to their laptop. So who would choose over that for Asus laptop with trash screen.
That's not how you calculate/estimate the USD price. First you extract 20% VAT and then convert to USD. Then you get $1384.

How did you calculate that?
Someone can help me with something? This laptop come with rtx 2060 mobile refresh of 115watts or with the rtx 2060 mobile of 90 watts? The first goes up to 1569 MHz and the other to 1350 mhz
