I'm interested in this laptop and seeking advice.

 

My current laptop is an i7 6700HQ with Nvidia 950m 2GB and 16GB Ram and an upgraded 1TB SSD, which made this laptop capable till now for my needs.

Please see specs in the link above as I believe there's a million versions of these.

 

My concerns are the Core 5 210H and the RTX 3050, as I'm seeing mixed views online. 

 

My use case is very light gaming, Cities Skyline type, and semi intensive personal work - multiple spreadsheets open, multiple large PDF's (drawings/designs with layers) and a bit of Autodesk Civil 3D, which requires a GPU.

 

 

 

Would this laptop be ok?

 

What would this laptop struggle at?

 

What are the limitations of the 210H and 3050 GPU?

 

 

 

For a $100 more, I could get an MSI Thin with i7 13620H, but same GPU and RAM. I do however prefer the num pad on the Asus for work.

I think with the 3050 (laptop) GPU you'll be looking at about 4-5x improvement over your existing 950M.

the weakest part of a laptop that stops it working properly is the cooling, specifically CPU and GPU cooling

 

this thing seems to have that part sorted at least by design

 

looks good
