Hello everyone

Im torn between the 2 laptops
Use case would be gaming programing movie and youtube watching

Vivobook specs:
2.8k 90hz 600nit oled screen
Ryzen 7 5800h
Rtx 3050 4gb 35w
16 gb 3200mhz ddr4
512gb pcie gen 3 ssd

Scar 17 specs:
2560x1440 240hz 100% dci-p3 screen with adaptive sync
Rtx 3070 ti 125-150w
I9 12900h
16gb ddr5 4800mhz
1tb pcie 4 ssd

Basically it seems while the scar would be better for gaming the vivobook would be better for everything else
better screen
better battery life
lighter
cheaper

The scar is a bit more than double the price (but still ok)
Still i think im just paying for the video card
Is the 3050 35w ok for gaming too?

Which one would you pick and recommend?
Thank you

They both will be able to game, the real question is, are you willing to sacrifice your gaming fidelity/experience for the price tag? in both instances you're paying for what you get, which is a watered down version of the Strix on the Vivobook and overall the Vivobook is for (photographers/content creators)professionals on the go who need something to work with on-the-go, not a direct desktop replacement which the Strix, clearly is.
