Thank you very much Brandon. This one is on my shortlist as my Scar 17 just got sent back after less than a year and I'd be shocked if it came back fixed.

You scare me with your cup there lol

I got mine about 1 month ago but returned it for the reason that clearly can be seen in this video - turbo mode is useless as it pushes the CPU hard - it frequently hits 100C which causes throttling / stutters.

thank you for your honesty

My bank balance be like : don't even think about it 😢

Hey Gizmo that’s the old model already there’s a new Helios 18 variant with the 14th Gen Intel and RTX 4090

How's it better than this? Also helios is a different line than triton, in this line this is the best.

Hey GizmoTech Guru! Can you please review the MSI Raider 18 HX sometime? Any version, 4070,80 or 90, I'm looking for an indepth review & comparison to its possible piers & whether or not the lack of a Vapor Chamber, can qualify to be catwgorized as an official "4k Toaster Oven"? I greatly appreciate it!

Hello I hope all is well I was wondering if you can recall what was the ambient temperature of the room when you were doing these tests

I got the 14inch loved it, but it needs 32gigs of ram. :(

Hello, I had your same results, then I updated the drivers and I got normal results in turbo mode with a graphics score of 21244 which is just above average for a 4090 laptop. So it was not a CPU vs GPU problem, just a GPU drivers problem. Before the update i was getting 150/160W after the update it's always around 170/175W. I think you should update your review at least with a comment because I was almost skipping this beautiful piece of hardware because of your review.

​​@@nexxxunodo you find turbo mode useful?🤔 do you think it will increase too much temperature (100 C for example)?

Would you still recommend the MSI stealth 14 studio (not the AI version) in 2024 as a good budget gaming laptop? long term

Please gizmo I hope you see this, I’m about to get a laptop by weekend, Triton 17x, Legion 7i or ge78hx Which is better overall ???

I basically watching all the benchmarks in games between this and the latest scar 18 in your reviews and surprisingly the triton scores better in game fps than the scar 18

Hey Gizmo, what your bios firmware versions of your Razer Blade 18 (which is besides this laptop)

An inverted mother board in a 4090 is simply insane. What the hell was acer thinking

Laptop no good. Predator sense software app does integrate well. Seems at first everything works and then boom. The back lit keyboard will be on default uneditable. The cpu and gpu won’t be able to be read correctly or at all. No control over profile modes (no performance or turbo mode). No matter what you do it won’t work. Go Asus or Razor. Asus support is bad, you’ll have to send laptop away 3 weeks turnaround. Save yourself head ache.

Nope Big Fail on inverted mobo Acer won’t get my money

Bleh, inverted mobo
