Note: MSI GF line is too trash, while Asus TUF A15 (3060) runs too hot. They will not be included in the comparison.
Build
All have plastic build, but I would say IPG3 is slightly sturdier. All models will have some sort of flex in the chassis and lid.
Performance
Victus 16 : 95W 3060, Intel TGL or AMD Ryzen 5000 with 45W CPU power limit
IPG3 : 85-90W 3060MQ, AMD Ryzen 5000 with 45W-80W CPU power limit
Nitro 5 : 80-95W 3060, Intel TGL or AMD Ryzen 5000 with 62W/54W CPU power limit
All models don't have MUX. Note that IPG3 is using a 3060 Max-Q TGP up to 90W.
Thermals
Victus 16 : 35W+95W
IPG3 : 35W+85W
Nitro 5 : 35W+80W, with max fans 45W+80W is possible
In normal units/samples, all models can achieve these temps: CPU under 90C, GPU under 80C. Note that in IPG3, hot air at the back is blowing directly at the B cover/display panel.
Others
All models have optional 144Hz/165Hz 100%sRGB panel, however you need to check the particular model you're looking at since 45%NTSC 120Hz/144Hz config does exist. All kb are decent, I would say the IPG3 has a slight advantage as it's using the same kb as Legion. Battery wise, the Victus has the largest capacity (70Wh vs 60Wh and 57Wh). Nitro 5 and Victus 16 has max fan speed option. Weight wise, Victus 16 is significantly heavier (2.5kg vs 2.2kg). Aesthetics wise, Nitro 5 is noticeable more gamery. Only Nitro 5 offers 2.5 inch bay (IPG3 only has 2.5 inch bay in 3050Ti or lower models).
Which one to buy?
My personal pick would be Victus 16. Factoring in all factors, it's the most balanced, all around option. Next would be Nitro 5, followed by IPG3. Nevertheless, it also comes down to the pricing. If you don't have budget for mid range options like Legion or Omen, you can't go wrong with these 3 models.
