QUOTE(gabe_flxtcher @ Aug 23 2021, 05:34 PM) thanks for the video but I've watched that before. one reviewer isn't enough but I'll try digging into YouTube / Google a bit more for the reviews. i'm not sure if this applies to the current TUF F15 but I just got to know it comes with a soldered ram.

FX516 is the TUF Dash F15 one. FX506HM is the i7-11800H + RTX 3060 variant. This post has been edited by gabe_flxtcher: Aug 25 2021, 02:12 PM

Haha I have the same conflict before I gets my Nitro 5 11th Gen with Nvidia geforce RTX 30 series. After some research and reading this article here: https://www.laptopmag.com/features/acer-nit...us-tuf-dash-f15I decided to get Nitro 5 and so far I loves my choice!

I don't think there's any laptops currently with Intel 11800H so i just go with the Legion
