I’m in the same boat, saving up for a high-end model like the RTX 4070.

I can relate. Though I might not have the budget for such an expensive laptop, the wait and saving part is real.

Seems like a good strategy. Maybe I should start saving too!

Need advice choosing between the Ryzen 7 8845HS and the i7 13620H. Which is better?

The 8845HS generally performs better, especially in terms of battery life and integrated graphics.

Considering the laptops, one’s a Victus and the other’s an ASUS TUF. Got advice from others saying the TUF might be better.

TUF tends to have better build quality and thermals, often with a superior display. Are there any A15 models available?

@Koa
Not really, in my area it’s mostly the F15 models that are available.

I personally prefer AMD because their CPUs tend to run cooler, but in your case, the TUF’s advantages might outweigh that.

Thanks, that helps a lot. I was leaning towards AMD too but wasn’t sure. Appreciate the clarity!

Waiting for new releases to hopefully drop prices on current models. How long might that take?

Probably a few months at least, we’re all in this waiting game together.

Don’t hold your breath for price drops right away with new releases, it doesn’t always happen as we hope.

The truth in your post made me laugh!

I’m doing the same while waiting for my new laptop to arrive.

Hoping to get a Victus soon!

I’d consider other options unless you’re really tight on budget.

Choosing between the HP Omen and Lenovo Legion, which is better?

I’d go with the Lenovo Legion, it’s generally well-regarded alongside the ASUS ROG for top-tier performance.

It depends on the specs, but generally, I lean towards the Legion.
