Yup it has 2 ram slots and 2 M.2 slots.

M.2 slot DO NOT support sata. Only NVMe. My older laptop came with low tier NVMe drive and I got a samsung sata m.2 at some point. wanted to carry over the sata but couldn't.

On the 32 Gig models it comes with 2x 16Gig sticks. These are dual rank 3200MHz sticks.

Cost me 1.9L

Also had the option of this exact same spec but 16Gig ram on the Strix G15 for 1.6L

Got through an offline retailer.

30k extra for 16gb ram?

I don't remember correctly but Scar is much better cooled and built than Strix, right?

Yeah the build quality is the sole reason I went with the scar over the strix. They had a strix on display, and the chassis flex was giving me anxiety, and I didn't even own it. Especially coming from a chungus alienware brick.

They had a zephyrus on display at another store and I figured the scar gotta be closer to this than the strix. It's pretty much as solid as the zephyrus.

The cooling is great too. Mid 70s at full fans with my ac broken, so I'm impressed. Afaik the heatsinks and pipes are the same in the two models, though I read somewhere the fans are better on the scar.

I hope ARM designs become mainstream. Wishing for a performance oriented fanless Windows laptop (under a lac).

Na bro, they all serve different purpose.

The red one is Hyperx Haste, it’s considered one of the best FPS mouse for fingertip/claw grip for my hand size. Plus it’s extremely light and really made for shooting games. Got it since it was highly recommended by rocket jump ninja and I am genuinely enjoying shooting games so much with it. I just completed Gears 5 and Doom with it and it felt so tight.

The green one of course is the brazed Deathadder. Really good for claw grip when I want to play slower paced games like xcom, age of empires, turn based jrpg etc. nice relaxed comfortably mouse for those cases which does not require quick movements since this is slightly heavier.

The blue one is the Logitech G502, it’s so popular by now it’s considered the G502 masterrace on Reddit. This mouse is for Palm grip and productivity. It shreds excel and pdf like hot butter thanks to that infinite scroll wheel.

So yeah all are serving different purposes, would be difficult for one mouse to do all items well.

Thank-you my friend :)

Yes, those do have heft and I actually enjoy that weighty feel. Using that smaller light M235 or a Portronics POR 372 mouse on my Netbook or Audio PC feels a little weird.

Heft== comfort for larger hands. I have relatively smaller mitts 10x9.5. hence smaller mice== better aim in fast fpses like doom and quake for me. :D

Apple MacBook Pro - M1 Chip, 8GB RAM, 13 inch

 

Yes I had to compromise on the screen size, as the 16 inch MacBook is way over my budget. 

 

The touch and feel is just amazing with the improve keyboard compared to the previous butterfly ones. The M1 chip makes is lightning fast and there is almost no fan sound or heating. May be because I am not using it to the extreme yet, but this is a beast!

Congrats. I am looking to buy one to replace my old Macbook Air.

 

Where did you get it from? Online? Any discounts or deal?
