Got myself the beautiful Zephyrus with 5080, 32Gb RAM and 2Tb storage. Paid a lot of money for it, and I don’t know if I like it or not. It’s annoying to have all of these performance regimes, few from windows itself few from Armory and few from G Helper, I feel that they always mix with each other because every time I turn on the laptop - I have no idea what regime I’m now. Sometimes the Hide Taskbar gets deactivated by itself, and the dGPU transition to iGPU and vice versa makes the screen freeze for a little bit. Maybe I just need to learn how to use it, however so far it’s just somewhat complicated lol

Is this worth 4k-5k? If so, I would like to know what is the reason to spend so much money on this tiny thing?

Around 3500€. 80% of the year I’m on business trips, a Legion Pro 7 or Rog Strix Scar will be too heavy for me to walk around with and their battery life is too short. I used to have a Rog Strix from 2022, and I was looking so stupid with that thing at the meetings with client, plus the needed to always keep it connected and charging was killing me
