This Strix G17 is a compelling mid-tier laptop, in either this RTX 4070 variant or the more affordable RTX 4060 configuration. I still have my nits with some of the ergonomics of this series and find the offered configurations somewhat unbalanced, with the beastly AMD Ryzen 9 processor and only mid-tier GPU options. But my main gripe with this series is the poor efficiency on battery power, which might be enough to steer some of you toward the Strix G16/G18 models, despite their higher price.
