The keyboard is total garbage. If you're going to use it with the external keyboard/display - it has a good video card for money.

So just incase anyone gets into the same boat. The charger is 230w 19.5v 11.8a with a 5.5mm x 2.5mm plug. It took me a bit of research to figure that out, seeing as there's not much about these whitebooks out there on the internet.
"Like New Condition"
so... used.
I have a Lenovo Y740 with the same basic specs and it still games with the best of them.
Also, mine came looking new - there was a checklist sticker of things for memory, hdd, etc., Which looked like a QC checklist. Everything looked new and not used. There were plastic sheets covering the lid top, the screen and the keyboard side (covering the non keyboard surface). The whole laptop was in a sleeve and the box looked new. Honestly, it looked like an unused machine.
Just my 2 cents worth. Others' experience may be different.

- Lightweight for a gaming laptop at ~4.1 pounds. It's not a Razer Blade Stealth (which is what I was also looking for), but the magnesium alloy chassis is nice.
- 2070 Max-Q in a machine under $700 is pretty sweet. I was able to play Genshin Impact on completely maxed-out graphical settings on a QHD ultrawide 1440P monitor.
- Folks cap on the keyboard (ba dum tsh) and I understand where they are coming from but so far I have had no major issues. I do like how it feels though I wish the force required to register a keypress were just a little less. I admit, my typing speed is not as fast on this keyboard. I average ~110WPM on a 2018 MacBook Pro 13". With this laptop, I average 90WPM. The faster I try to type, the less confident I feel. But I still think this is a great keyboard.
- This is a TongFang-built chassis. Other variants exist. https://www.notebookche
- I am successfully able to triple-boot macOS 12.4, Windows 11, and Ubuntu 22.04 bare-metal. macOS has some small issues but I am able to use that OS as my daily driver (which I prefer). In fact, I'm typing this review from my macOS partition on my Intel Whitebook right now!
- 144Hz is new to me but I'm loving it so far. I wish the screen could get a bit brighter.
- Sound is serviceable. Don't get this for the speakers
- Camera is pretty meh. It's dope that it has Windows Hello though.
- Touchpad is really nice. Needs a little tweaking but otherwise nice to use. It's glass!
- I wish USB-C charging was available. Only way to charge is via barrel plug.
- I upgraded my unit to 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. I feel that helped with the overall performance, but that is subjective.
- My unit was essentially brand new. However, the included SSD has seen some use.
Overall, I really like this laptop. Hope this helps anyone who is considering this purchase.
