Interesting how we first moved from 4:3 to widescreens and now widescreens feel ancient 😆
Was that in gaming, in which case it would be no surprise. But if this can run off the integrated GPU for non-gaming instead of the RTX 3050, it should be able to run longer on a 70wh battery. That being said, CPU has a base power of 45w, vs. most of the i#-13## cpus that are more like 10-15w, so yeh...not going to be efficient. Any computer with a power CPU like this is more of a desktop replacement with portability than a highly mobile work/school from anywhere all day laptop.
I actually looked at this laptop in the store before I bought my ZenBook Flip 15 (12th gen i7, Arc A370m) open box for about $880. The 1080p OLED is super grainy. If you want one of these laptops, get the i9 version with the 2k screen… MUCH better and has the same 3050 6GB.

60Hz 1080p FHD screen is it's downfall...either that or the RTX 3050 instead of a 3060. But both?

How good is the 3050 vs the Intel UHD Graphics that come with the i7-13620H?

1080p screens just don't work for me anymore. Anything 16:9 looks old and ancient after moving to 16:10 and 3:2 ratios

I think the they can be switched to the battery saving mode: turns off GPU and lower the CPU clock. However according to BB review, this mode can only extend the battery life from 2h to 3h.

It seems like this is pretty neck-and-neck with the Lenovo Slim 7 deal, refurbished from EBay that's also up right now. Thoughts?

Does RTX 3050 on laptops has a 6GB version? I thought all 3050 on laptops are 4GB.
