Thanks so much for your help. I finally got my adult job and one of these would be perfect.

No problem, btw if your moving around a lot (like travelling commute or just travelling for your job) then the zephyrus is a really good pick as its only 3.8 lbs compared to the 5.5 lbs of the other two. But the ltt backpack apparently does weight control really well so if your alright with that then you can get one of the bigger laptops with a bigger battery too

Budget (including currency): <3000 usd

Hey everyone,

 

Thanks I’m advance for all the help. I have finally saved up enough to purchase my first laptop since college… 9 years ago and would like to go big. Was thinking about a zephyrus, but unsure which to get now with all the graphics card issues I’m seeing online. Would like it to fit in LTT book bag if possible. Thanks!

No problem, btw if your moving around a lot (like travelling commute or just travelling for your job) then the zephyrus is a really good pick as its only 3.8 lbs compared to the 5.5 lbs of the other two. But the ltt backpack apparently does weight control really well so if your alright with that then you can get one of the bigger laptops with a bigger battery too
