This machine performs as great as you would expect it too. The perfect mobile gaming device. Battery last from a couple hours up to 4-5 for me depending on how hard I am pushing the laptop. Usually I keep it plugged in though so I don’t have an issue there. I am set for the next few years when it comes to gaming and performance thanks to this device.

This laptop has powerful specs. The only weak point is the display. My other laptop has slightly weaker specs with a OLED display. The OLED display pops with color! The display quality difference is very noticeable side by side.

This is the full 16gb 3080. Bear in mind that the laptop 3080 is not even the same chipset as the desktop, but given the difference in power consumption it's still impressive af. Basically it's between a 3060ti and a 3070 on a dedktop. This laptop is great tho, runs everything i throw at it (including Cyberpunk 2077 at 4k on my tv) maxxed out without even getting very hot.

Great laptop, even better for docking

I use this laptop as my only gaming PC. That said, it stays docked and plugged into all my normal Corsair gaming peripherals and an LG monitor via the mini display port. The gsync and RTX features work perfectly. I (easily) installed a Samsung evo 980 pro within 5 mins and should I need to upgrade the RAM in the future, it is also easily accessible without having to unplug anything from the motherboard, simply unscrew the bottom panel and change what you want.
This laptop will not perform as well as a desktop 3080 and the vRAM is also lower. It does get quit hot and I would not use this laptop without a cooling pad, docked or on my lap. It does have a thunderbolt port which charges my iPhone AND iPad just fine.
The software for the attached keyboard is simple to use as well as the AI, however; the laptop will also start in a rainbow pattern until you launch the control program and manually change the setting to whatever lighting profile you want to use. This has been an issue for quite some time and doesn't seem to be getting addressed. It is a very minor inconvenience and certainly not worth skipping this laptop for. Snag it on sale so you feel extra good about it. I purchsed it for under $2k and this will last me playing AAA titles for the next 5 years, easily.

Excellent performance from this laptop. All the specs listed hold true to what is listed in the system information. No issues with overheating or throttling. Ultra settings on every game I play. This is a beast of a laptop. I won’t be traveling without it

This laptop not only met my expectations, but it has exceeded them from a technical perspective. Then, when price is considered, this laptop is a tremendous deal which I highly recommend to someone that is in the market for a high-end laptop at an excellent price.

Great power. I cant really say much more. It runs everything my desktop does (I7 10700k 32gb, 3080, 1 tb NVME m.2 ssd) and I noticed some frame increases while in MSFS 2020. I will say the fans are loud while in game or Turbo mode. Also, I don't know how long it's "safe" to keep the system running in gaming or Turbo mode.

When it works, it is a beast. The specs are amazing for the price. The hardware quality is garbage. It blue screens from hardware failure every couple of days. The track pad stopped working after a couple weeks. The Gigabyte included software doesn't remember your color settings after reboots, and is extremely janky. Gigabyte support was also super unhelpful. And no, it doesn't come with a 16 GB 3080, as some claimed.
Stay away. It is the cheapest laptop in its tier for a reason.

I bought this because in the faq it said it was a 16gb model (gpu). It is not. It does perform on par with a desktop 2080 and slightly slower than a desktop 3070. It has 24gb of shared ram because it has content creator drivers preinstalled. You can fix this and get better performance in games by updating to game ready drivers from nvidia. The overclocking software does not save rgb settings...but it’s okay it’s not hard to fix. I gave 5 stars because it’s a strong laptop for the price. It’s not too far behind the ge76 raider performance wise. If I had to recommend a 3080 laptop it would definitely be this one. Just understand this is a 8gb variant.

Good but not great. It’s a lower wattage 3080. In my honest opening your better off going with a less expensive 3070 or spending a couple extra hundred and getting a higher wattage 3080.
