I'll be doing a dedicated video on the GE66 and GE76. But in this video, there's some scar, ge66/76 and razer blade 17 stats stacked up. You can probably start with that. But honestly...they all perform so similarly. Even the GE76. What i'm interested in doing is just looking at 4K performance if that's something you'd be interest in

I’m uploading a video shortly that covers that. I would say for most people the scar is better. The battery, better cpu performance, lower price, better keyboard, USB charging, better software (armory crate) among some others. Go with the ge66 if you want a better build quality, slightly better display, and the additional ports. For me personally I would go with the scar 15. Hope this helps. It’s a tough choice but you kind of have to weigh in on what’s more important to you

dude PLEASE PLEASE do a cpu temp benchmark comparing the 12700h and the 12900hk. Since the 12700h has no liquid metal and CANNOT be undervolted due to intel locking it, I wonder if it throttles or what temps it reaches when pushed. That might be the one defining factor between these CPUs. If the 12700h reaches 100c and throttles then the 12900hk is worth the premium, since I can control the temps with undervolting and the added bonus from the LM.

On the ge66 the cpu seems to be locked to 45 watts and it throttles at 96. Another reason to go with the scar 15. Let me do some more testing though and I’ll reply back. There’s been numerous updates and I only stress tested the cpu when I just got it
