even the g14's 60w 3060 has been really good at 1440p, getting nearly the 120fps limit on cold war with dlss ultra settings on most maps other games were constantly around 80-100fps on games like star wars jedi fallen order and forza horizon 4, also heard that one get's better cpu perfomance since it's only working with a 60w gpu vs an 80w
This video was well discriptive, I got more out of this video than 10 other videos I watched trying to compare the 3060 version with the 3070 I ended up grabbing the 3060 model as it was the best bang for your buck.
Then you watched the wrong Videos. This guy here don't even set up the right mode for gaming. He is using performance mode and not turbo mode. The gpu is a 130w model. And if you using the wrong mode the gpu only draws 80w. Btw: saw this fail in the first second 🤣
The asus rog zephyrus is the best gaming laptop I've had for the value. By far. I have the G14 1tb, but some of them are on sale by like $600 right now at Best buy The 14 inch is definitely the best value in the 1tb version, just wish it had a better display
Thanks Sean. This is a solid review. I already bought one, but wasn't able to find a specific review for the 3060 model, until this video. Gotta go and double check those quality issues if any. Hopefully not.
Think I'm gonna pick up the 3060 model today. The 3070 is no where to be found in Canada and doesn't look like it will be coming anytime soon. I appreciate a good review on the 3060 model. They're hard to find !
@@imprometheus_9505 Let me know how it holds up with games and stuff :)). Initially, I wanted the G14 but my work requires storage and the G15 has an extra slot for SSD.

Nice review thanks. I'm trying to work out if worth downgrading from 3070 to reduce thermals and fan noise so if possible in future please focus on difference in power consumption and thermals
Awesome review sean! I went for the MSI gp76 3060 variant and boy i have 0 regrets. It stayed way cooler then any ryzen 5800h series cpu laptop! And i do find fan sound and temps important for my laptop
I have had a 3070 model and experiencing some heating issues right out of the box like when updating windows and drivers (havent tried gaming yet). Is this unusual? Thank you!
Which one is better this one or strike 15 with the same specs? The strike 15 has fhd and 144hrt screen but you have more watt in gpu so what is the better the 2k screen with 165hrtz or fhd 144hrtz but with more power close to 3070?
Thanks a lot Sean for doing a review on the RTX 3060 one, I bought one too last week only, G15 GA503QM, but I am facing an issue where I am only getting white backlight on my Keyboard rather than RGB, and when I checked Aura Sync inside the Armory Crate (latest version), it shows no device available for Aura sync lightings, Do you or anyone in here know a Fix to that?
Hey Sean, just got my Ryzen 7 - 3060 model today, your reviews was one of those which convinced me to take the jump. But I'm facing really annoying WiFi issues - where I get great speeds while sitting in line of sight of the router, but immediately get dismal speeds as soon as I move to my room ~8 metres away. Is this due to the Mediatek WiFi card? I've made sure to update all the drivers. Can you suggest any fixes? (I have a 5Ghz WiFi network @150 Mbps)
@@TechWithSean I did try that, and it's even slower :( To put it into perspective, I get 190 Mbps while in line of sight, and ~15 Mbps when in my room/away from line of sight. This 15 Mbps drops to 7 when I switch to 2.4 GHz My older dell with an Intel WiFi 5 card gets 180 Mbps consistently across the house :/
Hi. Can you please tell me how did you get that RGB lightning in keyboard? 🤔 I bought G15 RTX 3080 black version, but there's only white light in keyboard.
Is it worth paying 700 dollars extra for the 3070 version over the 3060 version. I have the 3060 with 1 TB ssd. Will gaming be alot better or should I just keep this one.
Hello Sean I have an ASUS Rog Zephyrus G15 G503RM model, and it says it supports 165Hz refresh rate, but for the internal laptop monitor, it only gives me the option to pick 60 Hz, Is the 165Hz only available for gaming?
hi guys im going to buy my first laptop next month. this one and the zephyrusM16 with intel core i7+3060 version are too different or not, let me know what do you think and which one i should get next month. Thanks
Ryzen 5900hs or hx even better. Intel runs hotter and is finally catching up to amd in performance. Probably why 14 inch laptop like Razer blade 14 use amd instead.
I was really hyped for this review (As I saw your comments on Reddit) Finally a 3060 review!
For whatever reason, there hasn't been much coverage of this 3060 model, but the -60 SKU's are always among the most popular. Thanks for watching!
Appreciate a review on the 3060 version, finally!

Thanks for the review, can you post a video on how to add another SSD to this laptop
As for apps like blender, unity, photoshop, after effects, etc. Would you recommend this one or the 3070 is worth the extra?
Great review, I didn't find anybody reviewing the 3060 model, thanks, that helps me to what model I should choose.
Should I buy this for 1200? Or is there a better gaming laptop in this price range

Is this the best gaming laptop for the price
Great review Sean! Shame about that curved screen. Will you keep it?
Man great video, I appreciate your review here have my sub.
also you saved me from buying this one only because of the QC, I do live outside of the US and returning it is not an easy option for me.
Great review. Thanks
Too monotone but nice review.
How about the 202 model with 6800hs and 3060 130W?

The 3070 isn’t worth? Or… cause wow
Unfortunately, I’m stuck with a G 15 that I over paid for significantly
How much did u pay for it ?
Hey sean i hope you'll see this whats better for gaming strix g15 3060 or this one ?
Hi Sean! What you think, should I buying previous m15 model 2070, or wait m16 3060? Or g15 3060 is ultimate good?
Hey watch Dave2D reviews it might help u
He has reviewed them all
Thanks. I'm buying it.
Awesome review sean!
I went for the MSI gp76 3060 variant and boy i have 0 regrets. It stayed way cooler then any ryzen 5800h series cpu laptop!
And i do find fan sound and temps important for my laptop
No HDMI 2.1 is a deal breaker. It’s nice to connect it to LG CX from time to time. It’s a shame that MSI and Asus do not offer it
Loved the video / review helps a lot.
damn it, i have the g14, didn´t know this was an option
Thank you !

If I am not wrong the G15 Rtx 3060 price is really close to Legion 5 Pro Rtx 3070...:)

They shouldn’t be too far apart from each other performance-wise. Personally I would get this for the 1440p screen but both are good.
Maybe it was already asked but how many cores does it have?
How does this compare to the g14 with also Rtx 3060?
This should be faster because the GPU is higher wattage
Thanks a lot Sean for doing a review on the RTX 3060 one, I bought one too last week only, G15 GA503QM, but I am facing an issue where I am only getting white backlight on my Keyboard rather than RGB, and when I checked Aura Sync inside the Armory Crate (latest version), it shows no device available for Aura sync lightings, Do you or anyone in here know a Fix to that?
I think in some regions the gray model can have a white-only keyboard option, this is a USA model and I believe all the gray ones here have RGB.
Did you buy it in india? If yes, then from where and for how much for your specifications?
