So I was planning to buy the XMG Ultra 17, but shipping sadness exists, so I decided to look around and found the laptop specified in the title. I was thinking of buying this and it seems quite good and is somewhat better too than the XMG Ultra 17. So, any thoughts on it? because it is a 4000$ machine. Thanks, Sid

Update and I might start a new post for this, I found the origin EON17-X and its quite similar to the XMG Ultra 17, in fact it might even be better. Its 150$ more expensive and has free shipping around the US, and as they are a more famous brand (I think) their stuff should be good. Only problem is that they have a 1 year warranty but I don't expect it to break anytime soon. The extra money can be justified as they give you a copy of windows which XMG doesn't.

Hmm, this model is being released in June-ish or so i think, so i think i'll wait until that time, because for now i dont think its available and its just rumours, anyway, this post should be dead for quite a while

I have a macbook pro and i pretty much destroyed my GPU due to overheating or something. I forced it to use the iGPU specifically and after a few weeks it was fine and started using the original GPU again. Right now i am typing this with my overclocked GPU. I say use an external monitor connected to the GPU. Check if your main monitor's cable is connected to the GPU's output and not the motherboard's output.

That's actually a long story by itself and how I wanted to get an SFF PC but the case had shipping problems and all that crap. So I got a deal on buying literally any laptop I want and if I could like ship this somehow...

Main reason I'm getting XMG is because the display is 240hz. Also it has a 10th gen i9, so 4 extra threads and 5.3 GHz. But that is a good option. Much better than alienware anyway.

Ah yes I had this idea. The lappy is around 3500 EUR and the maximum I can spead total is 3800 EUR. I was thinking if I could ask the shipping guys to deliver it to a post office, from where DHL/UPS could bring it to the US/India. Do you think thats possible? Also I was wondering any guesses on how Linus got it? I was thinking he has contacts in germany.

Yes I did. They said that they only ship within the EU, maybe try a different seller? But I don't think XMG sells anywhere else. They even use UPS & DHL, I wonder why they can't ship to either place, especially the US. I need the XMG Ultra 17, I know Clevo is the manufacturer but I think that's a different model. Also, the Clevo model is somewhat inferior (144 hz display instead of 240) compared to the ultra 17. Thanks, Sid

I was wondering how Linus got his XMG Apex 15 delivered to him as I was planning to buy an XMG Ultra 17 and wanted it shipped here to India. Now they don't have any options to ship outside of the EU, and I was fine with it being shipped to the US too as I could receive it from there when my uncle visits me. So I was wondering how Linus got it to his office, some contacts maybe? Thanks for the help!
