As a user of an older generation Illegear Onyx ,mine is close to 3 years old now, there is something that you should know. Aftersales support is not great. You dont get even BIOS updates and new drivers over time like the bigger manufacturers out there. And TongFang based laptops have crap built-in speakers. I would only recommend it if you are a PC enthusiast and have a good level of technical knowledge. Battery size is smaller than the competition too. The only good thing about this laptop is, the chassis is very easy to open for maintenance and the bottom cover has ZeRo clips, only screws. Spareparts are plentiful in Aliexpress for those who can DIY.
Actually you can experience Wifi 6 even on a Skylake based Intel laptop (6th gen). Just slot in an Intel AX200 card that u can buy from Shopee or Lazada for ~70 bucks or less. I did it for my HP Elitebook for work use .

If I were you , I will go for Lenovo Legion 5. It is abit heavy, but this is the only rig that has both GSync and Freesync on the display, with MUX switch too. Very hard to pass on it given the price .

If you live in US , then Asus laptop is okay. In Malaysia , the warranty service is awful. I have sent 1 to lowyat plaza service center in the past. Took 1 month to repair, come back with extra scratches too...
These days , many companies have on site warranty service.
