3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it

Review after intense testing for 2 days. Kudos to the seller for delivering it in 1 day.

This laptop is not worth it, go for better alternatives at a similar price range. Yes, this has a 3060, yes, it is the cheapest 3060 that you can buy right now, but beware of its performance. It is an 85w TGP RTX 3060 paired with an i5 10300H a 45w TDP quad-core octa thread processor at 4.5Ghz boost clock powered by a 180w brick.

The laptop looks cool. 144hz display looks amazing, it is on the warm side though. Has 4 zone RGB lighting. More than the capable cooling system. Has 2 NVMe M.2 slots, of which one is already used for the WD 256GB SSD. Comes with 8GB RAM with a slot free. TBH if you REALLY wanna buy this laptop upgrade it to 16GB soon as you get it coz it is required to get something decent enough out of it.

I've tested GTA V mostly 70 to 80 offline & 60 to 70 online, Fallout 4 mostly 80 to 90 but dips to 50 to 60 in busy areas, Watch Dogs 2 around 40 to 50 (severe bottleneck), Metro Exodus with RTX ON mostly 60 to 70 & RTX OFF mostly 70 to 80. Each one played for around 5hrs straight at 1080p ultra settings. THE CPU BOTTLENECK IS REAL. The Max clock that the CPU will attain is 4.2Ghz and is locked so can't be changed. At this rate, you will get worse overall performance than a 1660ti or 2060 paired with an i7. Don't buy it just coz it has a 3060 like mine. It is the worst pair imaginable. Honestly, wait for ryzen version or skip this one and go for helios 300 with RTX 2060.

3.0 out of 5 stars It runs very hotly!

Reviewed in India on 16 March 2021

Verified Purchase

I'm not sure if I have received a defective product, but the laptop runs really really hot. Even if I play *any* game for 15-20 minutes, the CPU temperatures easily reach up to 92C. The GPU on the other hand performs beautifully and runs cool (60-70C). This is with CoolBoost enabled. CoreTemp and the built-in Nitro sense app confirm the heat.
I'm really worried about the product's longevity.

On normal usage (without playing any games + a cooling pad) it still reaches 80-85C. I have only had this for a couple of days, but if the heating continues, I may request a replacement.

I'm curious to see if it's just me or others who are running into the same.

I will update the review in a week once I use it more over the weekend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good buy for a niche use case.

Hi all.
Purchased this laptop with exchange and got it for 80k roughly. I wanted to exploit DLSS for 4k 60Hz full eye candy gaming, and the extra CUDA and Tensor Cores for Deep Learning.
For game Core, i5 10300H is indeed is a weaker processor coupled with the RTX 3060, but there are ways and means to remove the bottleneck, if you know and can optimize your systems well. The RTX is an 80 W TDP with a 5 W dynamic boost. The bottleneck is not more than 5-6 %. I play mostly AAA single-player games and for my use case, it's the perfect combo. I don't play multiplayer at all.
The laptop runs cool and with some tweaks, it doesn't go beyond 70-75 on the highest settings.

One recommendation is that one must upgrade to dual-channel 16 GB RAM, and an NVME drive to fully unlock the potential of this machine.

For those sitting out on the fence and struck with a dilemma, I say go ahead, if your use case is like mine. Don't trust the current crop of cringe Indian YT reviewers who are eager to diss on systems that they have never laid their hands upon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth its price

Reviewed in India on 21 March 2021

The laptop arrived yesterday. I am happy with it. Nothing extraordinary, but definitely worth its price.

The build quality is good, with no keyboard flex. The design is appealing and looks much better in real life than any picture online.

Comes with windows pre-installed. Minimal effort required. Boot time is consistently less than 10 sec averaging around 8 and a half-second. The 144hz panel does its job well. The screen is sharp. The camera is below average.

Haven't tested battery life specifically, but with what I have used, I can extrapolate it to be around 5 hours with a battery saver. They somewhere mentioned battery life up to 10 hours, but both you and I knew that it was a joke, so no reason to be disappointed.

The laptop is upgradeable and comes with an 8 GB (3200) stick with a slot empty. Why they even sell this machine with only 8 Gb ram is beyond my understanding.

I am happy with the purchase. I Will update you when I test it further.

Update 1 :
Got 4-5 hours with battery saver on, minimum brightness, wifi on, BlueTooth keyboard and mouse, NVidia GPU off.
With GPU on, it is 1 hour barely

Tested the game "Control" by remedy studio. With max setting, RTX on, and all graphics completely maxed out, it was averaging about 40 fps never dipping below 35. The CPU utilization was always less than GPU so CPU(2.5 GHz, not overclocked) is not the bottleneck, at least in this game. It was running very hot (above 90) but that is to be expected. The ray tracing in all its glory looks surreal. If you can, definitely try it.

For those who want to buy it for deep learning, it gave no improvement in normal neural nets, but convolutional neural nets trained 3 times faster than when GPU was turned off. I expect improvement to increase with the complexity of model architecture.

When not playing music, connected earphone makes an unbearable whistling sound. That may be a defect in my piece.

Overall solid machine, I recommend it.

3060 seems a bit overpowered for 1080p. all games breeze through even with RTX on. Upgraded ram to 16 GB. very fast on boot because of SSD. air intake on the bottom so is careful to raise the back while gaming. Runs hot while gaming but all gaming laptops do. The battery lasts around 3 hours with optimized settings and normal non-gaming usage. Dint notice any bottleneck. Go for it if within budget.
