ASUS ROG Zephyrus S GX701 Gaming Laptop, 17.3” 144Hz Pantone Validated Full HD IPS, GeForce RTX 2080, Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, 16GB DDR4, 1TB PCIe Nvme SSD Hyper Drive, Windows 10 Pro – GX701GX-XS76

The 2021 ASUS ROG Strix G17 drops some of the fancy materials and features available with the higher-tier Scar 17 lineup, but doesn’t compromise on the performance, screen, IO, or inputs, and sells for significantly less. Thus, I’d expect this to be on many of your maps, as one of the better-value A-brand performance 17-inch laptops in the first part of 2021. It’s not without its quirks, though, so make sure you understand them before getting one of these.
