Amazon has world's cheapest AMD Ryzen 7 4800H and RTX 2060-powered Asus laptop for pre-order at an incredible US$1199

[Redaktion]

Amazon recently put up an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H and RTX 2060-powered Asus TUF Gaming laptop for the remarkable price of US$1199. This undercuts i7-9750H notebooks and delivers incredible value in the sub-US$1500 price bracket.

Everything is okay except for display and GPU which turned out to be max Q version. As far as display with 45% NTSC is pathetic asus. Even a 250 dollar smartphone as 84% NTSC. For this price asus should definitely give at least 84% NTSC.

aggressive pricing+better tech, desktops&servers last year, laptops now.

[hmm]

who wrote "cpu" over the RTX  ???

It maybe a decent deal but the screen is below average and it looks ugly and cheaply built.
Can"t stress how ugly it looks.
Like the hardware but ASUS laptops generally run hot and loud, add ugly to the mix and it's a huge nope no matter how affordable it will be.
Hard pass

Ahhh whatt? 45% NTSC?
Also , while AMD CPU is fairly good for Gaming , it's not that good for devs.

Please tell comparable specs laptop that has at least 72% of ntsc with the same price

Also, comparing big laptop screen with smartphone's tiny screen is silly

@Xxx - Why is AMD cpu not good for devs? Generally, the issue for work has been that AMD cpus had poor single core performance, but that was before Ryzen. And with this, the single core performance of AMD is actually better than intel.

Not to mention, modern development takes much better use of multiple cores than before. So unless you are maintaining an old application, more cores is better.

This variant is supposed to start shipping on March 30th and is at present the cheapest laptop on the market with an RTX 2060, priced closed to GTX 1650-equipped laptops.

omg stop, that 1650-equipped laptop is a high end business laptop. their selling point is unrivaled durability, not raw power like this gaming laptop.
The 2060 on this is max-q, so theoretically it performs identical to a 1660ti.
Can easily find 9750H & full-powered 2060 laptops for sub-$1200.
While this is still pretty well priced considering it's just release price and inflated by coronavirus (so we should be seeing price drop drastically in the coming months), you don't need to say such misleading things to make it look good.

I'm actually quite shocked it has 45% ntsc... probably the only 144hz laptop screen on the market with such poor color reproduction. Literally every other 144hz laptop has 72% ntsc.
Walmart Evoo for $1000 has a 72% ntsc display. Weaker CPU, sure, but equal GPU-wise (because the 2060 is Max Q) and $200 less.

guys, please stop the nonsense max-q is a second tier quality :(

don't understand how $1200 is cheap. rtx gpu is available much below that already, since long.

8 cores+2060+16/1tb ssd/144hz? cheap

or 6 cores/1660ti (same as 2060 max q)/72% ntsc display 144hz/16gb ram/500 gb ssd for $200 less..
this is "appropriately priced", but it's by no means cheap.

[william blake]

this is "appropriately priced", but it's by no means cheap.

lowest price on the market or close to it=cheap.
you call it appropriately priced? fine. what is cheap then?
