Whether that is worth it depends entirely on the resolution you play at. On the built-in 2.5K panel, the 5070 is the difference between turning settings down in demanding titles and leaving them up - and if you intend to actually use 2560 x 1600 rather than run games at 1080p on a 1440p screen, it is the right card for this laptop. At 1080p on an external monitor, the cheaper model will not hold you back and you should save the money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMemory, as ever\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e16GB with a sixteen-core processor is the same slight imbalance that runs through the AMD machines in this range. Both SO-DIMM slots are user-accessible and the chassis takes 64GB, so a second stick is a straightforward and inexpensive fix if your work needs it.
