This laptop model is over a year old. You can do much better for $1,500.

I bought this Eluktronics Max 15 supposed to be delivered on Tuesday we'll see how it is, specs look promising and lots of reviews say thermals are good. I'm gonna swap over my 2x 1TB nvme and my 32GB ddr4 3200 ram from the gateway to this. Should be plenty powerful for my usage.

Quote from wpc :
exactly, you aren't comparing apples to apples. a plain 2080 to plain 3070 the 3070 will always win, now you have a 2080 super so find a 3070 super to compare against and the 3070 super will be faster.

Can you read? They didn't say a plain 2080 is faster than a 3070, they said some 2080s are faster than some 3070s. They were right. Generally speaking each new generation of card performs one tier better than the last gen... ie, a 1080 and a 2070 and a 3060 should all be in the same ballpark. That is especially true with 30 series gpus where a lot of the performance gains came from more wattage. In poor cooling situations (like laptops) where wattage is limited, they will not have much of an advantage at all over 20 series, especially one from a higher tier.

can you understand comparing apples to apples? This is a 2070 Super "MAX Q" and is WAY slower than a 3070. Maybe the Super might make it a little less of a speed difference but it's still a considerable amount slower.

And yes I understand thermal situations but all things being equal, the 3070 will still be roughly 17% faster
3070 = 80-125W
2080 max Q = 90W

I have had the one from them for almost 4 years now. Still runs like a champ for what it is and have had zero problems with it.
Even as of a month ago their tech support was still responsive (I was asking about details of the M.2 ports and they sent the service manual for the laptop in about a day).
I recently swapped the Western Digital Blue M.2 SSD with a "XPG GAMMIX S50 Lite 2TB M.2 2280" because one of the slots supports PCIe 3 and it is blazing fast.

For those who want a little more umpf. Amazon is currently selling another Eluktronics laptop, the Prometheus XVII which is a 17 inch with a 3070, QHD panel and a superior cooling system at the cost of a bit of portability over the MAX series. Price is 1799

i'm not interested in this brand. want something like this in slimmer 14" but i guess it's impossible to have such hardware 8 core spu and dedicated gpu in a slim laptop.
The Asus Rog Flow x13 is really impressive IMO, I don't have the external graphics card with mine so it's 1500 msrp, it's only a 3050ti but it plays everything I throw at it at maxed out 1080 graphics just fine including cyberpunk, as long as I have DLSS on. And when I'm not gaming having it be a slim 2-1 Is awesome, I was carrying a 15 inch gaming laptop And an iPad everyday, I downsized to just a single slim and light 13 inch 2-in-1 and don't really have to make any big compromises. I'm not a serious gamer though, if you are looking for 300fps etc it might not be enough. The Asus g15 I came from with a 3070 is still fairly slim and light with great battery life just not nearly as slim as my x13 flow.

i'm not a pro gamer. i just need to do some simple trim cut join 1080-4k video editing, photos not even worth mentioning. for games i play whatever is available for free online, like FPS. I know nothing about new laptops or desktop hardware. I assume i can connect at least one 4k monitor and it'll be limited to 60Hz? If this laptop can handle 2 monitors at 2k-4k even better but not a requirement.

Does it support usb port charging? no FPS?

Put down the crackpipe and re-read what the guy originally said. The 2080 Super is a solid card, and still beats the 3070 in some games. Jeepers.

This is a 115w 2080 super. Even then, the only way you can really tell how gaming laptops will compare is to see benchmarks because of the massive variability of wattage and thermals means that Nvidia model numbers are just a loose suggestion of actual performance.

Even then, the real max performance will depend on how well you can undervolt the GPU and CPU (since they share power/thermals).

I have the MECH 15 with a 1660ti I bought a few years ago.

Eluktronics make fantastic laptops. A huge determinant in my decision to buy an Eluktronic was its thermal management. The build quality is outstanding, with the Tong Fang chassis, the thermals is never an issue.

Customer service is also fantastic. I've called them directly a few times with questions, and never had an issue with them. They are definitely a small boutique company. My calls went directly to a smart, competent person.

I will continue to buy Eluktronic laptops in the future.
