I love the laptop

I did a LOT of research for a new gaming rig. Normally, I build Desktops. but decided to look and se what Laptops had to offer. Now, I am no E-Sports gamer or anything, but I love for my games to run smoothly. I connect this thing to my Samsung Odessey G9 (5120x1440 native) and crank everything to max and go... Games run smooth, the fans arent too loud and I would highly suggest a cooling pad to get just a bit more out of this thing.

I have really enjoyed this laptop so far. It is top of line all the way around:

I am pretty blown away by his laptop. I had been using a Dell Inspiron 5755 (12 GB RAM) for years as my work computer, and this is a huge step up. I wish the screen was larger (15.1), but other than that. It is amazing. With 16 GB RAM it exceeds anything I need, and I imagine this would be a dream for a gamer, especially a teen, who would appreciate the lights on the keyboard more than I do. Easy set up. It is, also, surprisingly quiet. It is a bit pricey, but the performance is top notch so far.

I needed a laptop to plug into my worksation (in which I also game at ultra wide 1440p) and after comparing laptops for weeks I found that this one has the best performace to price relation (I bought it for $2,049~).

I bought a high end gaming laptop about 3 years ago and it was a beast. It weighed a ton. This one is so sleek and so much lighter. I like that the graphics and lights are more subtle. The plastics that lay under your hands is silky smooth. Ive never felt this type of material. I upgraded the laptop by adding a second drive of 4 TB which was very easy to do. Just a few screws around the case. The power adapter is quite manageable. Sometimes the size can make them a nuisance. I will primarily use it for light 3d modeling and photo editing. This laptop is going to meet all my needs and more.

Everything is great, its very powerful, but battery life didnt last 2 hours, maybe because of my external monitor. But for gaming, it is very good.

There are plenty of reviews for this great laptop on the web.

Coming from a desktop rig I built in 2019 (ryzen 7 3700x, rtx 2070 super, 32gb ram) this thing annihilates it in gaming. Some initial thoughts after playing with it for a few hours tonight:

This is my first time to purchase a gaming laptop, so far I’m not a serious gamer but sometime play ETS2 by my 2017 PC.
