That Ryzen cou has no integrated gpu, so battery life is terrible compared to the TUF which is excellent.
It might be beating this TUF A16 for gaming, but only slightly. Screen is also pretty dim, but not bad otherwise.
Not a bad choice if you will always have it plugged in.

Own this one but got a better open box deal while the 4060s were pricing around 800 new. At this price point for new on both the 7700s and 4060 laptops, however, I would get one of the 4060 laptops at $700 during BF.
Too bad they didn't hit lows with the open box. Should have hit $600 new to move units during the end of the year.

May i know which specific ram model did you upgrade to? I bought a 32gb crucial ddr5 4800mhz and it wont boot up. I read online these laptops are picky on ram brands

The 7700S is right around the 4060, if a bit below:

Also, anyone who has been tracking this bad boy knows it's the open box that's the real deal. Especially if you can pull a "fair" actually in mint condition because it's missing a box or something. Unfortunately, it looks like the open box pricing didn't get a drop.
Sure, more ram is always nice. It's a cheap upgrade, however, while you live with the GPU.
