Thoughts on this gaming laptop?

https://www.costco.com/laptops.html?...e%2BRTX%2B3060

Pick one from this list thinking of the first one
Really only getting it cuz 90 day return policy if don’t like it can exchange/return

Idc about gfx but gameplay should be smooth

Will play on lowest settings

Want to be able to play rdr2, ac games, etc smoothly without lag fps issues etc on lowest settings

Maybe the new bf as well.

What FPS should I expect?

Will this laptop be able to
Handle games on lowest settings?

I can’t find any other gaming laptops on Sam’s club or Costco and they are the only stores with 90 day return policy if not let me know
I don't check my CP, IDC about reps/negs

Gaming laptops are absolute ****. Cooling throttles the **** out of everything. They are not worth getting in general

Agreed. I have a gaming laptop and I had to open it up to reapply thermal paste because that **** kept overheating. Overtime the heat will just wear down and slow down the laptop. Build a pc that will run better and be around the same price.

Check the Asus Zephyrus 15. It should be within that price range now.
I gave my desktop to my son after buying it. I have the one with Ryzen R9 5900HS and GTX 3070. I got it during launch for about $1800.
I get decent FPS even on AAA games on the highest settings.

Not playing a lot this time except for TBC classic but I used to get between 60-80 fps on AC Valhalla and about the same on COD:CW.

I'm playing on a 34" 1440P widescreen. I have a deskfan under my laptop. Temps are not as good as desktop but its controlled. Only issue I have is the fan noise when I don't use a headset.

I just signed up for Costco like a year ago still learning about it, what are the advantages on buying electronics from them? Warranties? Return periods?
