How can it be subpar, when it beats the RTX 3070 in 70% of the games head to head. I've watched multiple videos that repeat these wins, it would be different if these 6800m's still were in 2k+ laptops, but this is 1400 bucks NIB, even less if its open box. What other gaming laptop at 1399.99 has the same power? All 3070 laptops in the 1400-1700 dollar range come with a 5800hx and most with a 1080p screen, except the Legion and Asus (no web cam idiot move). This laptop should be great for 1080p and 1440p gaming, just hate that it doesnt include HDMI 2.1.
Fastest of my laptops ive had. scores 11,000 on time spy.
A real deal at 1000$ open box.

I have it and I get low fps if my power or armory crate settings are set to silent.

This thing is amazing when it works, especially since you can update power profiles on the go for more fps or less noise. Obligatory had to re-paste but it was straight forward.

I wouldn't pay $1400 for it.. Shame the open box is not available at 1000....

Would you say the Costco deal for the MSI GP66 is a better deal? Both are the same proce right now.

You gotta swap out the RAM on this unit, the one they ship it with has very low clock speeds I don't exactly now. Also if running with a monitor be sure to output via USB-C for max GPU power.

I have never had a MSI but if the GP66 is the 10th gen i7 with the 3070 I would probably skip on it. The ASUS is great but I ended up with the first release and had to re-paste just to be safe. The liquidmetal wasn't outside of the silicone barriers yet. I hear the new releases have this fixed and most likely better ram so it makes it that much more tempting. The only thing I dislike about is the lack of mux. I got mine open box for $1100 and couldn't be happier.

The Alienware M15 R4 10th gen with 3070 could be had for $1150-1250 a month ago after all incentives, cash back, etc. I know... not today but in my honest opinion a full power 3070 with last gen processor shouldn't be over $1200 these days. Maybe I live in la la land... LMAO

If you have total tech and $1000 around openbox, it's pretty safe to go with it.
Next year when your laptop fail due to liquid metal leakage, they might replace it with fixed 2022 version.

Thanks. Snagged an open box excellent for $1300.

Bought the G15 open box fair yesterday for $1366 and returned it right away as it was missing the charger of all things.

Lmao I'm seeing the slight hate on this laptop. This is a good deal considering I had this laptop since last summer with no issues at all.

This is after the whole cpu liquid metal issue and they fixed it right after. Still running stock ram and handles all my games
(BF2042, GoW, Destiny 2, COD, Apex, Val, Cyberpunk)

Low FPS on silent - just plug your charger in, and put it on performance. Idk why you are running it on silent in the first place lol

Liquid metal - hit or miss if you buy open box cause these are the ones that people returned for issues at Best Buy

I wouldn't consider an open box IMO just get a fresh new one that's still within budget if you can snag it for 1400-1500. I seen it on sale twice last year for best buy.
