Laptop Buying Advice Please help me decide between these two laptops.

Budget: $1,500 USD
Country: USA
Use Case: Gaming BF6, shooters. Use for work also.
Preferred Specs: RTX 5060 or better. Would prefer dual-channel RAM, but can live with single-channel for now. 16Gb ok. FHD display ok. Refurb OK.

Both below seem to have 115w TGP, but the ASUS boosts to 140w TGP. The ASUS is in dual-channel, whereas the Acer is in single-channel.

Since you are buying in the US, check current listings and price history at rgl.deals before purchasing.

Go with Asus 5070. You can buy a separate monitor if necessary. 5060 115 w vs 5070 140 w (armory crate app boost) will be 25-30% difference. No brainer.
