Budget: 70-80k pesos (1200-1300 USD)
Country: Philippines
Use case: Gaming + General work
Notes:
Before anything, I would like to say this: Assume these are the only options present and don't consider any other brands or variations of gaming laptops.
I am stumped on what to get between the two right now. Asus V16 clearly has an edge with its more modern CPU, but it is heavily limited by only having 70W CPU+GPU power, whilst Gigabyte A16 can reach upto 85W.
Does that 15W make a significant enough change to make it run generally faster than Asus V16? I tried asking ChatGPT and it said Asus V16 is more "stable" even though it incorrectly laid out details about the laptop.
Also, how good would both laptops be for general purposes? Like performance without charge, battery life, etc...
