Is portability a main concern? If checked, why not build a killer desktop that you can connect to via remote desktop with a chromebook or used Thinkpad? If you still insist on having portability without a desktop system, there aren't a lot of options without shelling out lots of $$$. Just gotta think about the energy efficiency of laptops and see if it's worth bumping up the budget to not have maximum desktop power (probably closer to 78% efficiency, but 80% less energy even with the exact same desktop parts). The closest thing to an amazing all in one laptop is either a Gigabyte aero 15 9y or Clevo P750TM1-G. See kzread.info/dash/bejne/gWyuxaSYdcanqbw.html for more info

Nice, good to see some off-brand getting some love. I gave these guys a try 3yr+ ago. Bought their Eluktronics Pro-X P95HR model laptop. They no longer sell this model. At the time when 1070 Max-Q laptops were all in the $1600+, but they had a limited time promotion for $1350. Snagged it without a second thought (after doing weeks of research on pricing+specs before hand). The laptop is still doing great for 1080p gaming content and handles VR decently well. Gaming laptops run pretty hot, so it's a good idea to purchase additional cooling solutions; such as laptop base-pad fans and fan exhaust boosters. Especially having it run on 3hr+ gaming sessions.

Jay I have a heads up for you regarding that SD card slot. While yes, it is great that this laptop has a SD card reader, there's a good chance it's not SDHC or SDXC compatible. I also imagine the SD cards you're using are probably SDXC. I work in data recovery, and see this way too often. Very few in-built readers are SDXC compatible. Yes, usually SDXC cards will work in non SDXC-compatible readers (like most in-built ones), but they're not intended to work together, and doing so can often lead to your card becoming corrupted. Just my thoughts as an experienced DR technician. You can probably get away with using the in-built one, but it's not recommended and does put you at risk of losing data where you probably wouldn't with an external SDXC-compatible reader.

I've owned quite a few "high end" and a couple "gaming" laptops for development and work... but this was by far the best I've purchased and, on top of that, it felt like a steal (snagged it for $1100 where equivalent Asus, HP and Dell laptops were pushing $1800~$2200 at the time). As for software, like you mentioned I was shocked when powering it on for the first time. You get used to uninstalling Norton/AVG, all the random crap the vendor dumps on the device...

It is exactly the same, however Eluktronics is the ODM (rather than OEM) so this is the "real" brand. Similar to how Sager makes a lot of laptops for other OEMs. Nothing wrong or unusual with any of that, if you're looking into one buy the one from the OEM with the best price.

I have this and I wish the RGB was better executed in a number of ways such as lighting effects, vibrancy of colors and how the keys are illuminated. The keyboard could use better spacing like the Alienware m15 r2, webcam sucks and speakers just get you by. That being said, I don't have any buyers remorse. Still happy I bought it. The footprint wins me over every time.

The display *FLOPPING* around the place. That literally made me LOL 🤣

Eluktronics is an amazing company that makes some of the best laptops for a cheaper price compared to more popular brands. I have a Mech-17 which is famous for having some of the best temps for a gaming laptop simply because the Tong Fang chassis are godlike.

Jay, I'd love to see your take on that keyboard. It seems like a very feature rich unit at a very competitive price (and if you buy just about any laptop from their site you get it for freeee)

Magnesium held up pretty well vs Jay trying to shake it to death..awesome light powerful build and yes that packaging needs work. Good point about the NVme trend..hopefully they will never phase out the 2.5drive bay so we can stick an big hdd in there.

wait a second... This is the exact laptop as the maingear element laptop just a different brand.

You forgot to mention they offer upgraded thermal compounds on their website. I think thats awesome to pay a hair more to have better thermal compound.

$1,700 go with MSI GE65 Raider and get a RTX 2070 (Non-Max-Q) and a 240Hz display. Or $1,600 you can get a 2060 version. Also the Raider has the best cooling in a laptop.

My company purchases the most current Dell and HP laptops (both standard and high end). How does the Eluktronic model compare to HP and Dell machines when it comes to performance and support? Would you consider this companies machines worth purchasing for the corporate environment? What kind of warranties come with these machines and do they include accidental damage coverage? And do their batteries suffer the problem of bloating (expanding on their own) like the mainline machines do? And what is the cost a company would l pay?

If you purchase the laptops straight through their site, they offer extra extended accident warrenties and much more. I've been buying Laptops through them for about 4 years now and they are the only company I know where I was able to send my laptop in and they would upgrade parts on it if I wasn't able to, and this includes upgrading from a 60hz IPS panel that had very bad response time causing ghosting to a new 120hz TN gsync panel that was compatible with the laptop and released as a upgrade option a year later. I've had really great support from them and have been recommending them to friends.

The MAG-15 was a VERY close runner up for laptop I was going to buy. I went with a Lenovo P1 Gen 2 because I felt it better served my wants/needs, but damn I still want the MAG-15.

I misread this as meaning it cost £4. Never-the-less, glad to have found the channel.

I'm surprised you didn't do a Dell G7, it's basically the same thing and they had a really good deal on cyber Monday AND threw in a 12% coupon.

@@AzriAzhari when did u start using it and what were u doing at the time u noticed it hogged resources? there's a lot of factors in this. mine runs perfectly smooth, but it can ramp up when it detects something (like disinfect or scanning). that's normal. I would also check mark "scan only new and modified files" to see if it helps u. my settings are to scan only application - off scan potential unwanted applications - on scan scrips - on scan network shares - on scan archives - on (leave the "ignore archives greater than alone) scan emails - leave default scan boot sectors - on scan only new and modified files - on scan keyloggers - on early boot scan - on threat actions - "take proper actions" in the "drives and devices" section, I put that to "ask every time" as it could also be a resource hog if it is scanning ur drives all the time. make sure advanced threat defense is on. now, the program could very well act differently from computer to computer since everyone has their PC configured uniquely and have other programs, etc. if u have more than one antivirus on ur PC, that will kill ur performance and resources and make windows act abnormally. it could very well be just u. I've never had ur issues. also, I don't do automatic scanning, I find it slightly pointless in my case

Msi from bestbuy has a very similar build for high end of this, which i just bought, the only difference was that the best buy version is 16gb memory vs 32gb. Which was on sale for 1800 around christmas with stock available. Honesly it looks like the Msi (even internals) overall but mine is a 17.3" and they had a 15.6" available as well. Almost all features you show are on the MSI brand. The only reason I went with MSI is I can't ship laptops to my location due to batteries, so i bought it while I went back to the US. I do like the more ventilation underneath, though its passive. And guess what, the MSI is 4.9 lbs.
