Can you include the build link? It was at the bottom of the page you copied across to here.
What budget are you looking at, and what are you planning to do on it?

Well im not too up on the cases, so worth getting someone more familiar with them to check it, but if its gaming you want one thats got lots of space to vent and youll want a cooling stand for it. Looking at them it seems only Intel are availble when you play with the configurator, maybe the Elimina? 8 core processor, i would of said the Pro but the CPU drops to a 6 core, the case looks a little more ventilated though.

With laptops, you are basically going for highest spec GPU and you might get a choice of CPU occationally, but it all looks fairly limited on that atm. Gaming doesnt need more than 16GB RAM either and the only real choice left is storage, which i've picked a 500GB OS drive and then a 1TB for games.

I did see the 3070 and max-Q model GPUs but they all looked to be in quite slim cases and the forum has had a fair handful of posts about higher temps involving Tongfang cases. So im a little split on that, but i'm really not all that up on the current laptops. Models ive had in past from PCS dont have current spec reincarnations.
