A couple major issues with this laptop, the screen is super dark from what I remember it was either 200 nits or 250 nits. The CPU is comparable to an i5-9300h, not a i7-9750h, this combined with the 8gb ram made the frame rate when playing games fairly low (I got around 160 fps playing csgo and 120 fps playing fortnite but on a different laptop with i7-9750h + GTX 1650 max q I was getting 200 fps in csgo and 150 fps for fortnite on the exact same settings). I would recommend passing on this laptop and just getting the newer ASUS ones.

I don't think it's the worst deal still though, depending on what you want

I want the laptop to be at least as good as the desktop, preferably a decent step up obviously. The part that is the most shocking is how long it's taking for my i5 6600k/GTX 1070 PC to fall far enough behind to where a $1300 laptop beats it performance wise. It feels like I've had it forever but I'm not sure I'd even notice an upgrade to a laptop like this one.

laptops graphic card and cpu doesnt come close to desktop even though names are same
Your current cpu and gpu will perform 10% or better than this laptop

amd 4000 series and newer gpu may able to perform similarly (even then, its not going to perform fully due to heat management in laptop)

It can come with 60 or 120 Hz and the Amazon page clearly states 120 Hz, I'm not saying it's 100% for sure correct but it SHOULD be 120. Another bonus, like I said for $1022 you really can't go wrong, plug in another 8 GB of RAM and you have a perfectly suitable gaming laptop for 1080p gaming.
