I bought this and the Helios 300 at the same time, the EVOO went back, much worse thermals with the same under-volt, audio sucked, keyboard and track pad were worse. much more chassis flex. Build quality around the screen seemed to be glued together and was already peeling back. I called EVOO customer support, it was basically non-existent. Kept the Helios 300, love it. Acer will be around in the future, will EVOO be? I'm not taking the chance, especially for almost 1K of my money.
RTX2060 has more life in it. For this price 1660TI is a bad joke, but many will succumb nonetheless.
How did you come to this conclusion? Aside from Raytracing the 2060 barely edges out the 1660ti Max-P. Considering laptops come with the 1660ti for around 1200+ for the premium models and even 2060 laptops come around 1300+ for premium models this price is good for the specs. Aside from the walmart brand and small battery these should be a great choice for gamers. Stores are selling 1650/60hz laptops for this price haha

That Helios deal was excellent. I bought both and chose the Helios, returned this EVOO.
But then I returned the Helios for a Y540 2060. But honestly the 2060 is almost insignificant in its benefits over this deal.
This is a decent deal for great hardware, and I agree on everything else you said. Have fun with the Helios, it was one of the best deals.
