On a serious note - Budget aside - I want the quietest laptop I get get away with gaming on - I am guessing the Optimus chassis will have that advantage (being bigger) - Will the AMD CPU also run cooler (and thus quieter) ?

Yup I remember that as well - It was either red/red or blue/green !

Yup! So... I 'm going to ramp down my requirements here and make it between the Lenovo and the Optimus configs (Intel vs AMD I guess). My gut tells me to go with Lenovo due to the awesome reviews of the keyboard BUT that is only based on insufficent reviews of the Optimus keyboard. And...

I don't care about battery life to be honest - It will always be on mains - This machine is purely to take to my caravan every other weekend March to October and will always be on mains. Outside of that time it will never even be switched on. I would LOVE to be able to game at the van but I...

Hmmm.... I am considering throwing some more money at it and going for the Vyper with either the 2070 SUPER or the 2080 Max-Q - I'm wondering if the 2080 Max-Q will perform any better than the 2070 Super ? Or even the 2070 non-super ?

That spec looks great but I would respec it with the 17" screen I think :)

Can anyone please tell me what the brightness (nits) and panel type is on the following : 17" Optimus Pro 17" Defiance 17" Vyper Many thanks.

Thanks for the info :) Much appreciated. I guess it's mainly a coding and general use laptop with gaming now and again. I've got an awesome rig for gaming at home and I never really get chance to game on that these days (5 kids!). Why the Ryzen may I ask ? How will thunderbolt increase the...

Or ANOTHER alternative - If I spec the Vyper slightly differently (slower boot drive - still nvme) then for just about £100 more than my budget I can get a 2700 card in there : Chassis & Display Vyper Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD 144Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor (CPU) Intel®...

Another options is the Optimus Pro but with a Ryzen 4800H instead of Intel - For the same money I can configure this with 32Gb of RAM (can sometimes be handy in heavy coding environments with VM's) and a 1Tb SSD : Chassis & Display Optimus Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD 144Hz 72% NTSC LED...

Hi all - new user to the forum (and new to PCSpecialist). I am a coder and a gamer. My home rig is an i9-9900k/32Gb/RTX-2080ti but I have a caravan that we visit at weekends. I want to be able to code (and respond to bug reports) at the van and also be able to game (COD/Death Stranding/SOTR...
