[SOLVED] RTX cheaper then GTX??

[Cr3st 32]

So recently I bought ROG laptop with intel 10750 H and GTX 1660ti and yesterday my friend bought a lenovo legion 5 with 10750 H and a RTX 2060.

But I was shocked because his Lenovo laptop is much more cheaper with a RTX so I'm SO CONFUSED right now. How can a lenovo laptop be so cheap with a RTX?

Lenovo is more than often cheaper than ASUS ROG laptops. The ROG line does cost a lot, the brand is an enthusiast brand, not so much a bang for the buck brand.

I'm pretty sure the Legion 5 is a more conventional laptop and that the ROG one has a more intricate design. Maybe if you link your laptop I could give you a more educated guess, but I've seen ASUS ROG designs lately, and they do mostly stand out from other laptops.

Yes 'ROG tax' means you're paying for the brand name. Not necessarily the bang for buck. Same for things from Apple. Does it REALLY cost that much for a laptop? No, but you pay to carry that brand for others to see.

All strix is is branding. You pay more for it.

Oh yes indeed!
ROG 'premium brand', premium price.

I see -,- i mean this is free from my parents but I just feel abit scammed after seeing the price lol

That was their expense, not yours; you gained, so be happy with it.

The ROG premium brand has been overpriced for some time now, while not being particularly spectacular compared to the competition.
That just means Asus' marketing team is doing a good job.
