Protect your Galaxy Tab S11 with a cover that's both versatile and stylish. The Book Cover magnetically attaches to your Galaxy Tab and lets you stand it in both horizontal and vertical positions, so you can easily adjust the angle for reading, watching videos or working.
 

Does this cover have a spot to keep/store/protect the s pen?

No it does not. They removed the spot that the previous model had. Hate that it was removed.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus Gaming Laptop. Enjoy everyday gaming with this ASUS notebook PC. The AMD Ryzen 9 processor and 16GB of RAM let you run graphics-heavy games smoothly, while the potent NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 graphics produce high-quality visuals on the fast 15.6-inch 165hz QHD display. This ASUS notebook PC has 1TD SSD that shortens load times and offers ample storage.
 

Which will be a better overall purchase? Ryzen 9 w/ 3070 or 11th gen i9 w/ 3060?

I wrestled with this as I am still in my exchange period. I still want to keep the g15. My reason better bang for the same price. Raising the resolution of the 16 and still only a6 gig 3060 is my concern. If it were a 3070 I would have exchanged … at the same price. Anything higher price diminishing returns kick in. Also 16:10 equals black bars and not all game support it. Battery life and intel heat. If you rely on true thunderbolt you really have no other option than the M16.

Will setting in-game resolution to 1080p look bad on the 1440p display?

Depends on the games for the most part it looks great. At least anything made in the last 10 years.

What is the wattage of the 3070 in this laptop? Also if I want to install another ssd, would opening the back cover void warranty?

TDP is 100. Plenty quick. It’s a trade off higher TDP equals heat and battery life. So you need to decide if you have it on your lap and want portability or will it be sitting plugged in always. If so. I would look at Alienware but 2k screen… that is what grabbed me.

How often do ASUS models like this get restocked? I'm hoping it will become available before collage starts again.

Based on history every other week. You have to check daily, that is how I snagged one.
