I own a model with the I5-8300H and GTX 1050, I usually play simple games like Rocket League and old 3A titles like GTA 5 (it can run 60fps at high settings). Don't have any issues so far. The only issue I had is with the fan driver (NitroSense) not working (doesn't even run). If you encounter this problem delete Nitrosense and install Predator Sense instead (There is no major difference between the 2 anyways)

Use USB-C to an adapter which has display port and connect it to the ext monitor.Should be no problem for 2k 144hz but if you plan to use for gaming, the 3060 won't be able to max out settings for most games except CS:Go |

It is quite the king of budget laptops. Mine with R7 + 1650 runs like a beast, almost as good as my ge75 i might say. Thermals are also on a whole different level (cooler).
