- mentions that it is a RTX 2070 maxQ so not as good as a full RTX 2070.

No idea why there is so much hate for this laptop. I had the Maingear variant for over a year and put it through hundreds of hours of gaming. It is a very slim, has a mechanical keyboard, easy to upgrade. Repaste it and undervolt, will run much cooler, but still loud.
Upgraded to a laptop with 3080 specifically for the GPU, 9th Gen CPU is perfectly fine today.

- 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.
Note, I currently do not use this laptop because I prioritize getting a hackintosh working with macOS without any issues. If you do hackintosh this computer, note that the computer has issues sleeping with macOS (common for hackintoshes). I switched to a Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 6th which fits the bill for me. I will be passing this computer on to my sister, who loves Genshin Impact!
The RTX 2070 is the Max Q version of it. It has the same gpu and cuda core count, but is severely under clocked. It benchmarks about the same as a desktop RTX 1070. I have a laptop with an higher wattage RTX 2060 and it tramples this "RTX 2070" by a good amount.
These whitebooks are notoriously unreliable. It comes with a good 3rd party warranty though.
The seller is sketchy. This isn't a scam at all, but I've dealt with them personally and it wasn't a great experience. I live in their listed city and was looking at buying one. I wanted to see if I could get a better deal if I did a local pickup. It took them two weeks to get back to me.
The CPU is fine, but the 9th gen devours battery life. Even for regular web browsing, you're only going to get an hour or two.
The display is very dim. They cheaped out on it to save some money. The refresh rate is good, but if you are in a bright room, its not a great experience.
8gb of ram is expected at this price. Get another 8gb stick or a 16gb kit.
If you are looking for a laptop at this price point, look for something with an RTX 3050ti. There's one on the front page right now that has a much better CPU, is brand new, and beats this whitebook by a good amount.
Still has to think hard about it at $350 being refurb honestly
This laptop has nice specs for the price (gpu form factor, build design, large battery, 230watt power) , and...
-------
On pure specs alone, this laptop is perfectly fine for playing all your games and running tasks (when plugged in with AC adaptor). I have a 2 1/2 year old laptop with same 9th gen i7 RTX 2060, which I paid $1000 & it's running like new today, so I know how great it is.(though I underclock with throttlestop to keep it cool).
This 2070mq is slightly better than my 2060 (which is slightly better than 3050/3050ti), and just below 3060. I believe this laptop is still worth about $800 to $950 even though it is 3 yrs old, So this is a savings of $350+ for waiting close to 3 years, and not going with the famous brands.
Choice is yours: save $350, or go with better newer options around $900. (usually any good budget gaming laptop purchase is going to cost a minimum of $600 and this fits that budget, with cpus no older than 2 or 3 gens, which this borderlines on.)
-------
But If you require an even faster & more efficient CPU, I think it's also worth spending more for newer options ,and maybe since the brand of this laptop is not the famous ones like Lenovo, Asus, MSI, HP, Alienware, Dell
(BF & Xmas is right around the corner

3050 is updated 1650
3070 is updated 2070
3060 is updated 2060 which is updated 1660
3050 series is just a new bottom gaming videocard. And no mater what CPU you pair with it - it will be as slow as 3050 can calculate the graphics.
I saw people wasting money on laptops with 12th gen i7 or ryzen 7/9 that are paired with 3050, these computers will not be much faster in games than some older i5/ryzen 5 paired with same videocard.
