Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the high performance and impressive graphics capabilities of this 17.3" gaming laptop, praising its fast boot times and solid build quality. However, some customers note that the laptop's weight and heat generation are significant drawbacks, along with less-than-stellar battery life and noticeable fan noise during intensive use. The large screen size is a plus for many, but the bulkiness impacts portability.

    I just bought my second one after selling the first one I purchased. I fell for the new slim and light laptops, and tried a bunch of them. None of them equaled the quality of performance this model features. While the screen is only 60hz, it does have G-Sync and fits the gaming performance of the 1070max-q very well. You get a fair sized SSD, a 1tb 7200rpm hard drive, and 16gb of dual channel RAM. The build quality is fantastic. Highly recommended, and a better machine than the new 2019 model for a lot less. Highly recommended .
