You want everything in a $612.99 laptop? Cute.

Firstly, I omitted the screen because what you said about it in your comment was correct and you mainly asked about the graphic card comparison.

There's a reason I posted this deal at this price and not 899.99 because it's not worth it at that price. At this price, it is.

The line between Victus and Omen has been blurred. You can find the former with a 300-nits 72% NTSC while simultaneously coming across a 250-nits 45% NTSC Omen.

Why don't you link me to an RTX 4050/3060 laptop with a 13th Gen processor and a better display (or even this one) according to your standards, at this price? I'll wait.
The 4050 isn't even supposed to be compared against 3070 or higher in the first place.
Technically it should compare to 3050 Ti but it compares more or less to the 3060 and performs similarly to that.

So, in short you're getting a 3060 level performance and the latest i5 processor for a bit above $600.

I think that and everything else is pretty self-explanatory.
Might want to reread that. "Aggressive" would be a great way to describe it honestly. And the rest of your posts before that.... keyboard warrior

Now, you probably didn't mean it like that but that is how it came off. Since you didn't give Dr.Wajahat the benefit of the doubt, do you deserve the same?

*I am sure I will be attacked for echoing your statement.

Now this is a good price for a modern xx50 GPU. But will it even do 144FPS in anything other than CS:GO?

This screen is pretty bad and the 4050 is pretty sad compared to older and newer 70/80/90 correct?

Just trying to figure out if this looks like a deal or it is really a deal.

But it's an Omen with a nearly 1300 msrp. Think we're all trying to figure out if this is just marketing bs and this is really a $900 laptop.

Omitting the screen importance I see. In other words it's fair to warn the screen isn't great for those who could spend more.

I wouldn't buy a laptop I personally knew I would always hook up to a monitor.

Omens are supposed to be their best. This product is an attempt to squeeze profits similar to the way Samsung has removed local dimming from TV models the following year. The customer assumes basic hardware follows suit year over year.
