Damn that thing is THICC!!
Also your photo is amazing quality...
I'm kinda feeling jelly as I have an optimus from good ol PCS, but yeah I'm glad you're enjoying it!

You got it!!! It's a nice chassis, I rather like that! What's the weight like? And can you take a photo of the power pack?
What are temperatures like when idle and under load? That's the first thing you want to check.
And how do you find the screen?
Sorry for all the questions, you're the first person to get one and post some feedback
I'm really impressed with that Heaven result, that's a very impressive result.
I'll grab those details as soon as I can for you Spyder.
Meanwhile here's Fire Strike.
I installed Bullguard yesterday and apparently it conflics with gaming, when I was running Fire Strike, the gaming mode booster was resctricting something which caused Fire to not want to run fully, it would freeze the laptop and make it restart.

We love you Ukraine
Yes, best to not use bullguard, just use windows defender, it's actually better at prevention anyway.

Reading this forum has made me incredibly happy. I've just ordered a Nova but with the Ryzen 9 3900, 32Gb RAM and the same 2070. I can't wait, this is gonna be beast for working in Blender. My old Optimus is a nice laptop but the bakes are horrible with the assets I'm making, like 15 mins to bake 1 texture is painful. I wait for my machine eagerly and thanks for the awesome preview and benchmarks

The computer itself weights about 3.5 to 4 KG's, kinda heavy but feels sturdy to the hand and it screams quality.
On idle I'm getting 52º and under load it's reaching 75º / 80º
The screen is very crisp and you can totally feel the 144 Hz, coming from 60 Hz for years, feels like I just became better at CS GO definetly!
Battery lasts about 50 minutes to 1h while web browsing and it weights about 1.7 to 2KG's

The keyboard is chiclet style and easy to get used to, not too noisy either.
Trackpad doesn't seem to have the distance issue like some of the previous versions.

That's a fair bet, specially if you want to upgrade to a 2080 which I'm sure will be available in the future.

It's a power house to be honest, 100 fps+ on Doom eternal & GTA 5

Yeah I saw after I bought mine that there was no drivers up, have they fixed this now or?
Hi man,
Thanks for this review. I've been thinking about ordering almost the exact same spec. How are you finding it after having played on it for a few days? How are the thermals and display holding up?
One question I had about the chassis/components - is the processor upgradeable given that its a desktop variant? Obviously an RTX2070 at the price point is almost unbelievable for a GPU but I have slight reservations about a 3600 when there are newer intel and AMD processors on laptops with similar specs (albeit a 2060 instead of 2070).
Cheers!
