Looking to get a laptop for my IT job and a bit of gaming on the side. I’m trying to decide between a few options but not sure which one’s the best choice. I heard the Ultra processor isn’t quite on par with the 14900HX, so I’m leaning towards the Scar16 over the Zephyrus. Any thoughts or better recommendations around this price range? All advice is super appreciated!
I think this laptop might be better since it has an RTX 4090 and the RAM is 5600MHz instead of 4400MHz on the one you mentioned.

Plus, it’s got 2TB storage.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve heard good things about Asus laptops though, and I think the Scar16 could be the better option. If I need more RAM or storage down the line, I’m fine with upgrading. But I appreciate your input!

No problem, happy to help!
Avoid MSI or ASUS; their customer support is as reliable as a low-end TV brand.

I’ve heard complaints about ASUS support in the US, but most people I know in Europe (I’m in Spain) say they’re happy with it.

RAM on this one seems pretty slow.

This one looks solid, but for $200 more, you’d get the 4090 and an extra 1TB of storage.
