    More laptop brands need to consider this I/O layout... all the essential ports at the back are amazing.
  • @rjjeffreys
    Your channel always has the most interesting, new tech-relevant and informative posts. I do not understand why you do not have at least 1 million subscribers. Keep up the excellent work here! 👍
  • @Belgarath777
    This was a very well-done video and extremely helpful. Love that you think about multiple use cases. Well done and thank you.
  • I am very pleased with your review, so detailed, units will tell. Flawless work. Wish you had the opportunity to review and test more laptops, your reviews can save buyers money and help them make the right choice. Thank You!
  • @cracko16
    Wow you're amazing, what a review, you really know what a laptop user wants, thank you very much it really helped me a lot in my decision
  • @FSRGuy29
    This was one of the better laptop reviews I've seen. Hit all the right points. Thank you! I've been considering either this or a Razer Blade 16 and I think I'll go with the Lenovo. Doesn't look as nice (I'm not into the gamer aesthetic and don't love the camo look of the carbon lid) but for the price difference I'm in.
  • I would love one of these for playing and making vr games but not anywhere near my budget.
  • @MichaelFormoso
    Thank you so much for doing a review on this laptop. I'm considering purchasing it as a replacement for the one I currently have which is an MSI GE76 Raider with an RTX 3080 Ti and i9 12900HK. I wanted the next Gen processor with a RTX 4000 series laptop and this seemed perfect for what I wanted. I just didn't know what it was like compared to other laptops. So your review hit all the questions I had for it.
  • @chemengineer15
    I’m so glad you mention the stuff about RAID 0. I got this laptop and the process to disable RAID 0 wasn’t hard, it was annoying.
  • @taskelam8937
    Props for testing for PWM! It'd be really helpful to get some quantified data for the flicker frequency and modulation depth as well.
  • @ChadChristian
    I have this exact laptop and I can get 4-5 hours of battery life with normal web browsing, YouTube, email work. I change it to quiet mode (keeps fans from spinning up taking power), then also use the Windows Battery Saver option. I changed the default CPU max (windows power savings) on battery to 99% so it never uses the max CPU power draw. That is the only things I do and I can go for a LONG time on battery.
  • Thank you for this excellent review. That certainly is a nice laptop. I agree that the display is very nice. You did quite thorough testing of this laptop and bring up many important considerations. I agree that SSDs in RAID offer nothing of benefit. I wonder how the performance of the laptop might have improved if you substituted your own choice for the SSD instead. On another note, CES will open up further opportunities for you and your team.
  • @fallinginthed33p
    Mini LED is the way to go if you use this laptop for work. OLED screens can still get burn-in with static UI elements.

    Hi Nada. I'm working on my Christmas Wish List today. This Laptop will not be on it as I'm a full tower PC lover. Your review was great, but I had to force myself to watch all of it. I would only do this for you. Please do me a small favor: wait two more years before you review another laptop. Have a lovely Christmas, and I hope you will get a nice full-tower PC with all the bells and whistles.
  • @volcalstone
    Best review of this imo. Plus you're very easy to look at and listen to. 😊
  • @vc4961
    god your reviews are so good, finally a channel that doesn't waste your time
  • @niziksobirov2477
    I got one maxed out for $2960 before taxes, got a lot of discounts on it :)
