      Not far or not for long since he has not mentioned the battery life ;) OK, it's a gaming laptop but laptop nonetheless... Only with i7-10750h/10850h/10980hk and 2080S under the keys you can't expect it to last for long while in use for... work or leisure. Were it sold as a DTR we could treat the battery as just another integrated feature/device - UPS ;) - and just leave at that, but this is a laptop, supposedly even very mobile and quite thin for a powerful device.
      BTW. If it were mainly destined for a workplace it'd be having the Thinkpad branding, possibly being the P-line... but those cost a lot more for the internals that are offered. And those can get the extended double battery options with which you could really go far... ;)

      @vicefulder 2 months ago I was looking for laptops for company I'm working for and I was surprised because the offer with AMD 4xxx was vary poor, or non-existent in case of some major laptop manufacturers. Lenovo was the only company which actually had some models to choose from. I was thinking that 4000 series is something between 3xxx and 5xxxx, I mean just look at the memory clocks those things can run. It's not the same as 3xxx series.

      From a standpoint of security this is a horrible idea. Also, having a mixture of devices means different manufacture updates to deal with (BIOS, Chipset, etc). It also makes troubleshooting so much harder, when something works on one laptop or device but not another.

    I've used this same laptop for the past few months for work and gaming and could not agree more! Some things he did not mention, battery life is surprisingly good (6hours+ unplugged) due to the hybrid graphics (uses iGPU for less demanding apps). Also the trackpad is big and accurate. The display is very bright and as mentioned the fans are not obtrusive (thanks not only to them being less loud but also lower pitch and more proactive instead of constantly ramping up and down). Basically, this laptop has amazing performance but also great quality of life. Only thing I don't like is the HDR, it seem to be a bit off (oversaturated), needs some tuning before you can leave it on all the time.

Other company restrict their boost speed according to their cooling solution like razer so it would not show as thermal throttling.

    When I was looking for a new laptop this summer I found this one, it wasn't available at that time yet, but I knew it would be good. If only it had a fingerprint scanner or a windows hello camera... That would make it perfect.

    Hi @JayzTwoCents. I just love your videos and your style. I'm in Canada and looking for a gaming laptop around the 1500 to 2000$ mark. I would love a video about choosing a laptop for your needs. A bit like the video on choosing your PC parts.
