This is an expensive gaming laptop but is does have some nice highlights including that OMRON mechanical keyboard with low-profile switches, upgradable RAM, NVMe drives and more. A nifty fingerprint reader also gives you easy Windows access. The screen is the highlight though, with 144Hz and 240Hz options. It's fast, responsive and beautiful. Plus with Intel's 10th Core processors and high end Nvidia GPU options too, it's a beast.
It is a bit fat though and gets HOT under load.
Star Wars Jedi Fallen order, ran at 144Hz only, over 100FPS on cut scenes and around 80 standard play. 80 FPS on Borderlands, 240 on Worms WMD
