Pretty decent price for the spec this has. While build quality is not as good as premium Mech or Max series, the thermals are good and it can push the internals to their maximum potential.

I agree, this is HOT!!!

But... there is that ASUS deal with similar specs but with a WQHD screen.

And their is that $1,500.00 deal directly from eluktronics, and I really like the stealth look with no branding with these specs....MAX-17 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, RTX 3070, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM. So you upgrade the harddrive to a 2TB 980 PRO PCIe® 4.0 NVMe™ SSD 2TB for $270 or get something decent for $200 and upgrade the memory for $200 and get 64GB (32GB x 2).

Wow! Good specs for the price. The 165 watt 16GB 3080 steals the show here. All other specs are high end too

MAX15 (either AMD or Intel version), is available for $1899 with the RTX3080, directly from Eluktronics.

The Max17 (rtx3080) is $1799.

Not sure if these are full powered 175W rtx3080 though.

RTX 3080 is not 175W, it is 150W max TGP + up to 15W with dynamic Boost and yes, all of them are full powered RTX 3080.

The information on the their website is missing a lot of critical information. Are all the 3080 16GB version? What about TDP of the GPU? I had to search for amazon website to find some of the information.

Good deal though and tempting, but with amazon you get 5% if you have their credit card. Also probably easier returns. Good deal from both sites.

And there is the AMD version of the MAX 17 W/RTX3080 at Amazon for $1,799.99. This is the one that does not look like a gaming laptop.

Can anybody speak to the keyboard on these units? The non-chiclet / island style really throws me off.

Can't imagine spending 2000 on a gaming laptop. One thing goes bad, and then I throw out the whole thing?
not true.

I have closed my gaming laptop on a pencil and cracked my screen... purchased a new screen and followed a youtube video and installed the new screen. Point is, most of the things on the laptop can be replaced and if you are really scared, buy a warranty. ​

This is better

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09RMW1...UTF8&psc=1

The Strix is 2022 i9 12th gen with ddr5, this is 2021 ryzen with ddr 4.

While this is a 3080, and the Strix is 3070ti, the cpu will bottleneck the 3080 well below the 3070ti with the 12th gen i9.
Sadly I think a lot of us interested in this deal want a 17.3 inch screen. I just pulled the trigger on this amazon distributed amd model. Eluk direct has this same prometheus with the 11th generation i7 and a 2tb ssd plus their freebies for the same price if anyone is interested. Only 16gb ram though. Still a cool option for those who want Intel. https://www.eluktronics.com/prome...-2ssd-16r/

I completely agree that the current intel CPU that just came out is the CPU leader. AMD CPU is over 14 months old and the intel CPU is older then 3 months.

The intel CPU is roughly 11% faster.

But as someone has stated... we want a 17.3" screen.

And the intel CPU is so new that very few laptops have implemented them. And the rumors are out that the next gen AMD will be like 40% faster and can take the gaming crown as well, this CPU is suppose to be out in the 3rd quarter... I wonder if they will make it for Xmas?
