I don't understand this laptop... It's marketed as a gaming laptop but only has 4 cores? Wouldn't it bottleneck the 2060 in games? null

Both the i7 and 2060 are mobile designed chips meaning that the 2060 isn't as powerful as a normal 2060. The i7 will be able to keep up perfectly fine, no bottlenecks will occur.

Yes it only has 4 cores, but it still boosts to 4.8 ghz. Personally, I don't see it bottlenecking the 2060 Max Q as that graphics card isn't THAT powerful. I'd recommend you look at this laptop as more of a light to medium setup, with capabilities to game on the go, and being able to do most of what you need in a thin, fast, and stylish laptop. This laptop isn't meant as a desktop replacement, or even a full on gaming laptop in my opinion. I'm more interested in having a super fast college laptop, which is why I'm keeping tabs on this one.
