Is this tuff?

[vast finch]

Absolutely. For a laptop setup that's pretty good. My only constructive criticism would be the desk and you may want an additional monitor if you decide to stream. Really good though. 😄

Also, is that MSI Cyborg or Asus

?

[abstract sedge]

Its msi cyborg😁

[vast finch]

Nice

I have a Gigabyte Gaming A16 and a MacBook Air M4. Then I have my main rig.

Just the cpu and gpu keep bottlenecking

8gb of vram

And 16 gb of ddr5

Does it throttle? I heard MSI have had poor thermals and hinges.

[abstract sedge]

Ooohhhh nice

[abstract sedge]

Yes the thermals are horrible

[abstract sedge]

Yes it throttles horribly

[vast finch]

Try the Gigabyte Gaming A16 or Aero X16 at some point. They are decent. Yes they're power limited to 85 watts but they generally are better quality.

I wanna get a asus tuf laptop

Especially with a ryzen and 50 series card.

[vast finch]

Try the A14

The Tuf a14 is portable and very good.

[abstract sedge]

What specs?

[vast finch]

50 series graphics (for the 2025 model) and newer Ryzen AI HX series chips with a decent TDP.

You can get 16GB or 32GB of RAM

[abstract sedge]

Ohhh thats great

[vast finch]

The RAM is non-upgradeable though. You do get 2x SSD slots though.

AMAZING

[brave flame]

what are these motivational quotes

[raven granite]

If you can bend the laptop flat and stand it up on its end you now have a monitor stand and more room for your keyboard

[dire barn]

[vast finch]

I meant for the Asus Tuf A14

Not all laptops in general
