Since the launch of Nvidia’s Ampere architecture last year, we have seen a number of GPUs hit the market with very high TDPs, perfectly
illustrated
by RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 which both consume over 300W of power. This meant board partners had to design some seriously large coolers to deal with such high-power silicon. With the RTX 3060, however, we are starting to see a shift in thinking. With its 170W TDP, Palit has been able to design a single-fan card that is barely longer than a x16 PCIe slot.

This gives the TUF Dash F15 an important leg up over other RTX 30 laptops at the moment, as most Intel systems have settled for one of their older 10th Gen CPUs, like the Aorus 15G, or jumped ship entirely and gone with one of AMD s new Ryzen 5000 chips, like the Scar 15. This is because Intel haven t actually released their full suite of 11th Gen H-series chips yet, which means there aren t any direct replacements for CPUs like their popular Core i7-10750H.
Instead, Intel have only released three 11th Gen Tiger Lake chips at the moment, which have been specifically designed for thin and light laptops. Known as their H35 family, these combine the best bits of Intel s consumer-focused U-series with the gaming chops of their traditionally beefy H-series, bridging the gap between performance and power efficiency. It s a new category for Intel, and the quad-core Core i7-11370H inside my particular review sample proved a very capable companion for the TUF Dash F15 s RTX 3070 graphics chi

If the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 represents the very best of what gaming laptops have to offer in 2021, then the Gigabyte Aorus 15G is probably what you d call the next step down. It still has one of Nvidia s powerful new RTX 3080 graphics chips inside its slim black chassis, but it s the 8GB variant rather than the top 16GB one you get on the Scar. It also only has a 1920x1080 resolution display, albeit one with a higher 240Hz refresh rate, and its CPU is a fraction older as well, with Gigabyte choosing to stick with Intel s still very fast Core i7-10870H instead of opting for one of AMD s shiny new Ryzen 5000 chips. That s still a formidable set of specs, of course, and it s a potent combination for those after a top-notch 1080p gaming experience that will last for many years to come.

Of all the new gaming laptops coming out this year, the 2021 edition of the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 is almost certainly going to be one of the most powerful, high-spec machines you can buy. Not only is its top spec packed with the full 16GB variant of Nvidia s new RTX 3080 graphics chip and an overclocked model of AMD s brand-new Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU, but it also comes equipped with a 165Hz refresh rate display that has a gorgeous 2560x1440 resolution. It s a real beaut of a machine, and could easily replace your entire desktop - provided you ve got deep enough pockets for it, of course.
