Good to see more gaming tech reviews on avforums.
Personally, the main thing that puts me off most gaming laptops is the look of them. Most of them look like something imagined in a spotty 14 year old boy's fever dream.
However I realise that could be more to do with me getting old and boring so each to their own...
From a value perspective this seems overpriced. No VRR display and amid range GPU (which would really benefit from VRR). Balance isn't right, a slightly lower spec CPU and a better screen would go a long way.
