Where is the RTX 2060 Max-Q version?

@Jayn - Including a discrete GPU makes sense when it offers a quite superior performance over the internal gpu. But when it offers negligible performance(or no performance benefit at all), it is just a waste of money, space, battery life and etc.

This isn't about Nvidia vs AMD, Intel Ice lake also offers better integrated GPUs then some of the older lower discrete gpus. And as notebookcheck pointed out it is a waste.


As for why you would want to have an integrated gpu even with a discrete one, the answer is simple. Discrete gpus eat up a lot of power. Most gaming computers won't last 2 hours on battery using their discrete gpus. Do you really need the discrete gpu for simple things like web surfing or watching a video? For desktop it might not matter, but for laptop, you wouldn't want anything that isn't an APU.

What is the case for NVDA discrete GPUs vs something from AMD?

I didn't see a 4000 series with no gpu.  What is the case for always including an integrated GPU?

Is there a reason for a 1650 TI? Even the benefits of a 1660 TI is questionable over the built in GPU.

Canadian pricing has been available for weeks, with a release date next week on newegg dot ca


ROG 15 with RTX 2060 - about $1800 USD

This pricing is a joke. I would rather go with a 6/12 core 9750H Intel system with better 2060 graphics for 500$ less then... Since when does AMD CPU mean you get less for the same price...

well, that was one of the most meaningless posts i ever seen here, sorry.
laptop consists of dozens of different components, not just cpu.

I want the good color accuracy, 70+ Wh battery, 6-core CPU and GTX 1660Ti one. And without AniMe

Hopefully these are initial pricing subject to change cause they make no sense. The tuf with the plastic build quality and similiar specs is not supposed to be in the same price bracket as the relatively premium g14.

Even tuf series are becoming pricey. Asus should stop giving low colour gamut screen in tuf series laptop.
