These are the slowest and fastest GeForce RTX 3060 laptops you can currently buy

After testing over nearly 20 different laptops with the same GeForce RTX 3060, some are definitely faster than others by as much as 25 percent. It might be a good idea to see which ones to avoid if you're in the market for the fastest model out there.

When Nvidia axed the Max-Q branding earlier this year, the manufacturer consequently made it more difficult for consumers to distinguish between the "slow" GeForce laptops from the "fast" GeForce laptops. A GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q laptop, for example, would almost always run slower than a non-Max-Q GeForce RTX 2080 model. The newest GeForce 30 laptops have so much Max-Q distinction in their branding.

Our table below compares the 3DMark scores of all laptops we've tested thus far with GeForce RTX 3060 graphics. Though there are certainly more in the market, our comparison should still serve as a good jumping off point for those looking into a GeForce RTX 3060 laptop.

The two fastest RTX 3060 laptops we've tested at the time of pushing are the Schenker XMG Core 17 and Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH each with 130 W TGP GPUs while the two slowest are the Lenovo ThinkBook 16p G2 and Dell XPS 17 each with 70 W TGP GPUs. Jumping from 70 W to 130 W will increase graphics performance by about 25 percent which can be significant for GPU-heavy tasks. The Dell XPS and Lenovo ThinkBook models are significantly thinner and lighter than the Schenker XMG and Lenovo Legion models, of course, so buyers will have to decide if the bulkier sizes are worth the extra graphics performance.

As for most of the other models in between, the differences in graphics performance are generally within 10 to 15 percent of each other which is similar to what we observed between last generation Max-Q and non-Max-Q GPUs. In this sense, Nvidia and OEMs seem to be doing a decent job at maintaining a tight performance window between all RTX 3060 laptops regardless of TGP.
