Affordable TACHYS VORTEX 15 laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 5800H and RTX 3060 Max-P GPU to debut at CES 2021

[Redaktion]

The upcoming TACHYS VORTEX 15 gaming laptop offers the best price/performance ratio we have seen thus far for an AMD laptop. For only $1,100 can get you a powerful Ryzen 7 5800H APU coupled with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and an RTX 3060 Max-P GPU, plus 1 TB of NVMe SSD storage. Expect to see similar builds and prices from more trusted brands at CES 2021.

This price seems entirely unrealistic. Take a look at their site and you'll see that they're still selling laptops with 9th gen + RTX 2060 for around 1500. How on earth could RTX 3060 + Zen 3 be cheaper? Seems suspect.

don't worry, other vendor will have the same chassis as well, probably even cheaper, walmart?

This actually looks nice.

Ok. Now, finally, I'm paying attention to laptops again. My floppy old Samsung i7 3630qm /gt650 has just run and run for 8 years. Was USD $650 on sale. 5th ssd, 3rd set of batteries. Finally massive change and real value appears inbound. Thanks for this report.

Does anyone know roughly what desktop card the 3060 mobile will be equivalent to in terms of performance?  I'm wondering if it would surpass or come close to a desktop 1080. (6gb of vram only, admittedly...)

massive change inbound?  :-\ 
the 10 series would of been significantly better than what you have already long before the idea of a 3060.
I cant believe you actually said that. im humoured and slightly confused. because its you say it as though you have a 1060 gtx - and the 3060 is a significant upgrade. they can be had on the used market also for the same price that you bought the current model you speak of.
I remember that generation the 650 was quite a card for its class.

Would love to see better keyboards in these fast AMD Ryzen gaming laptops. The Lenovo Legion 5 with annoying de-centered keyboard had a mushy typing experience unsuitable for productivity and long typing sessions.

The Asus G14's key coating comes off after a few months, and their gamer fonts are hard to read especially with the poor backlight contrast.

The ThinkPad T14/T14s and P14s use slow 15W processors without dedicated GPUs despite lots of empty space in their chassis...

exactly! and I'm surprised you are the only one who is pointing this out so far.

If they really end up selling it for such a low price there has to be a significant downside somewhere. Maybe not for the consumer but you know you can't have a product that cheap without someone somewhere getting ripped off.
