Yeah, laptop 4080s are nowhere near desktop 4080s. But their performance depends a lot on the laptop, the wattage of the implementation, and its cooling solution. In a Lenovo i7 pro performance is better than in many other laptops. Average seems to be that the laptop 4080 is about on par with a desktop 4070.

Manufacturer and model specifics matter a great deal more with gaming laptop gpus than desktop gpus. That's why I would only buy a gaming laptop from a manufacturer with a good track record and in a model that has been well reviewed and tested by good reviewers.

Umm no. The mobile version of the 4080 is within 10-15 percent of a desktop 3090.

yeah but it is actually pretty good, 4070 desktop performance on your lap.

Price is competitive, but unlike the other 4080/4090 laptops, this only supports 2 external monitors, not the usual 3. (there's only one USB-C/thunderbolt port)
Other than that, seems to be a good laptop.

This is definitely a boutique product. Pretty much a desktop replacement because you'll never make it far from a power outlet. I would just build a desktop because it will be more easily upgradable, and better bang for the buck. A real 4080 is ~1k? That would leave you $800 for the rest of the computer...

I would never buy a white label notebook. They are all made by the same company and the build is super cheap and bland. Very high chance opening the bottom will forever break the laptop even if you are super careful. These are designed for one time installation. Any subsequent openings will be at your risk. It's like a disposable paper bag. Nice and stiff when brand new but use it once and it starts to get worn very quickly. That's just the build quality in general for these laptops. And since they are generic white label, the driver and software situation is equally precarious.

You'd think so, but not my experience. I bought a Sager NP8290 17" gaming laptop back in 2013, and it's still my daily driver. A few years back I popped it open and upgraded to 32GB of DDR3 and a big SSD. I've also opened it a few times to blow out the dust; no issues.

This laptop is rock solid stable to this day. It doesn't crash, it doesn't blue screen, it just works. It's connected to 3 monitors. I still use it for some gaming; it's running my Factorio Space Exploration game like a champ.

I know many people whose fancy, expensive, name-brand laptops haven't lasted that long.

You could at least use a site that does actual benchmarks

The company I work for bought around 35 eluktronics laptops 5 years ago. They are all still going strong. I7-7700 with Nvidia 1050ti GPU. I've replaced maybe 7 keyboards and 5 screens out of the 35. The laptops stay powered on, they have their power settings adjusted so they do not sleep. They literally have been running for 5+ years straight. They only get rebooted for Windows updates. None of them have broken in an unrepairable way.

The following year the company bought eight Acer laptops with 8th generation intels i7. Only one of those are still left in use. They all developed issues charging or not being able to turn them on or them turning themselves off. It wasn't a software issue reloading windows didn't help.

I agree normally I wouldn't buy something like this either but after seeing the company I work for having such excellent history with them I wouldn't shy away from them now.

Again, like last eluktonics post!!


If you want a custom config, AND have a prime card reach out to them and request they post it on Amazon.

Good way to not pay interest!
