Customer Ratings & Reviews

The laptop nails its advertised specs. The 4080 laptop gpu variant in it is faster than a desktop 3080 and nearly twice as fast as the 3080 laptop variants, and is nearly as fast as the desktop 4070 ti. The only downside on the gpu end is it has some nasty coil whine, but nothing that can't be ignored with some noise cancelling headphones. On the CPU end the 13980hx is roughly equivalent to the desktop 13700k, being slightly faster in multithreading but equal in single thread. Combined this machine is nearly unbeatable in laptop gaming performance. The laptop is massive but structurally sound, it's heavy but only as much as you'd expect for the crazy amount of cooling needed and the 18" size. The keys and palmrests feel rigid, though the d-pad and right shift key are strangely located and take adjusting to. The most important review point is the screen - it certainly lives up to the 500nit, 240hz and 1600x2560 specs and looks absolutely huge, but it's also clearly got problems. There's terrible backlight bleed all around the edges with larger patches along the bottom. It's definitely bad enough that if you intend to use this for darker horror games or design work I'd wait for something else unless you intend to use it exclusively with external displays. The battery life is terrible but it's irrelevant, the hardware in it needs wall power to function anywhere close to its potential in any laptop. If you plan to mainly play bright, vibrant games the it's the perfect machine. If you're spending this much expecting perfect uniformity and accuracy in the screen, sorry this one's eaten up too much of the budget on the insane gpu/cpu and cooling system and you'll need to spend more elsewhere to get the perfect display too.
