Battery usage: 32% for 2 hrs of playing x265 4K video from sd card at lowest brightness, wifi but inactive, Radeon IGP, Cool mode using MPC-HC. So this translates to 5.6hrs of movie time. If you are playing 1080p movie, you probably will get a little more playtime.

Forget trying to use a 65W HP power adapter. It will immediately go into battery mode even if you don't touch it at all. I don't have a 85-100W power adapter to try but we might be out of luck using this laptop on a cross ocean or transcontinental flight. It even complained when i plugged in a 120W adapter but didn't go into battery mode for light uses.

144Hz. I have one here, for about a month now. After a couple weeks of testing, I decided to keep it until we get a decent next-gen laptop in a year or two with newer gpus.

Only real complaint I have, which is minor, is that you can't stop the battery charging for times the machine is plugged in - it will always go to 100% when plugged in. Not the best for longevity, but it's my only real complaint for being a laptop. "Adaptive" battery mode in the UEFI settings doesn't appear to do anything differently. USB-PD charging with forced Vega usage would also be nice.

Running at 144Hz instead of 60 on battery takes a hit to battery life by about an hour, but it can still push nearly 13 hours with full screen brightness and low load. Youtube or video streaming, it's a solid 8-10 hour machine. Stretching to 18-19-hours at 50% brightness without heavy web usage is possible, such as when idle or doing some documentation.

Idles without display at 1.6W. Screen at minimum takes another 1.9W. 50% bumps up another 300mW. 50>100% another 1.3W. 144Hz instead of 60Hz takes 500mW. Switching on performance mode in the omen tools bumps idle up another 200mW. These were all 75% percentile values taken over hour long logging events. This laptop had no real background activity spikes - there isn't a lot of background activity from stock applications out of the box, unlike most laptops.
This is an absolute steal. Very well reviewed, good thermals, good build quality, great battery. Can't really go wrong if you're looking for a 15 gaming laptop

Probably dumb question but is the 1660ti on par with a 1070? I have a friend who's willing to give me parts from his previous 1070 build, all I have to buy a case, power supply, keyboard, and mouse. However, I really don't want a full on PC gaming set up. Is it better to just go with this laptop?

A desktop 1070 is probably 5-10% better than a mobile 1660 Ti. You probably wouldn't notice a major difference. However, the Ryzen CPU in this laptop is probably a big step up from whatever your buddy would give you.

it seems like you want to compare a mobile 1660ti vs a desktop 1070 - the desktop 1070 will be noticeably better in performance (the mobile 1070 is already better than the 1660ti according to user benchmarks). if you don't need the portability of a laptop, you'll get more performance out of the desktop.

it sounds like if all you need are a few desktop parts to build a competent gaming pc, it seems like a no brainer (again, if you don't need the portability) from a performance AND budget perspective, assuming the CPU is also decent.
