   Finally!

   I finally have a device that is the perfectly realized result of something we were trying to implement when I worked at AMD's Radeon Technologies Group in 2016/2017.

   A premium AMD + AMD laptop that surprisingly hits ALL the sweet spots.

   Ryzen 9 5980HX + Radeon 6800M with 12GB of VRAM. Smart Shift technology.

   1440p, 165Hz display with 3ms response time and FreeSync. Excellent cooling system.

   And NO webcam 💯

   This is the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition. And I love it.

     @trezzer Heh, yea that front bottom RGB strip can feel a little over the top.

     @killyourfm Disabling the RGB on it would almost make it look classy, too. Nice specs. Enjoy!

     @OptiplexPrime I'm kinda in the process of "moving" from Kubuntu to Nobara KDE.

     @killyourfm Now the real question. What distro you running these days? I have moved over to Nobara.

     @mdiluz For me it's ideal. I prefer to use my Logitech Brio anyway.

     @killyourfm I have the same device. Good compromise between laptop / workstation / gaming.
