TUF Gaming A16

Wrong price in the comparison. The A16 can be purchased for $1700 at Best Buy. The M5 Pro is 9.7% faster at single core. That is not "absolutely shreds", particularly when you realize: This is the default M5 Pro for $2200. The Asus is $1700 in the U.S. from Best Buy. The A16 comes with 48GB of RAM T
