Seems like a solid bunch of specs but an older i7 may limit future capability.

NotebookCheck.net review is here: Schenker XMG Fusion 15 in Review: Intel's reference design challenges the competition - NotebookCheck.net Reviews [notebookcheck.net]

NOTE: The 'Schenker XMG' is the same computer as this. "Whitebook" is an indication of this being an Intel reference model, with the laptop in that review being the same one as the OP's deal, just with a different reseller/name.

For some reason, it looks like every review (when I search intel whitebook 15) says up to 2070 Max-Q, but here it says 2070. Not sure why / how to tell.

I dunno man. The 2070 is a capable GPU, but that 9th gen Intel is gonna run hot, and is looking a little long in the tooth, compared to more recent offerings. 32GB/512GB is nice, but I don't think I'd pay $1,200 right now, considering what's on the horizon.

This is a marketplace item, sold and shipped by "Craving Savings". Seeing as it's a whitebook, I'd imagine that "Craving Savings" is your only source of warranty support, so in other words don't count on any after the return period. They are effectively the system integrator, in this case (like cyberpower, origin, etc). Their direct site: https://cravingpcs.com/

Laptop version of Intel NUC. Intel has whitebook laptop without RAM/SSD.

So any vendor can purchase whitebook from Intel, install RAM/SSD and sell it.

If it has 32GB RAM and 512GB SSD, it is a good deal.

I have laptops with both 8750 and 9750 CPUs. No it is not hot, CPUs are fine for gaming. I tested that during gaming, I locked the CPU to be 2.6Ghz and CPU usage is fairly low and temp is not high at all. It is GPU.

For CPU intensive work, undervolting helps a lot. Otherwise, yes it runs pretty hot.

Review measures contrast ration as 600:1, but it is actually 1000+:1. Their measurement is wrong.

Good price, but I would wait for 3060 which should performs better with lower temp.

It is Max-Q for sure.

This is a great deal!

This is the tongfang-qc7 chassis that Intel designed and has re-branded under different companies...XMG Fusion 15, Eluktronics MAG-15, Aftershock (something), Tracer EVO 400 (cyberpowerpc model) and several others.

I bought the Eluktronics Mag-15 with a 1660Ti and a 1TB drive but otherwise identical specs for $1400 just a few days ago and it arrives today...For personal reasons, I can't wait any longer on a laptop otherwise I'd send mine back and get this because the 2070 is around 10-20% better than the 1660Ti in performance alone (plus ray tracing and other technology) so it's a great trade off for the smaller drive storage which can be upgraded cheaply and easily (two slots for NVMe drives and one is open)
