Lightest gaming laptop??

[h_m_madhu]

So, this laptop is lightest gaming laptop ever, I guess. Apparently, Intel collaborated with small laptop manufacturers creating a laptop with great performance and really good cooling system.

It is only available with Eluktronics for now. Check out in the link below:

So, what do you guys think about this?

Imo weight is not as important as size, since gaming laptops always battle hard with cooling

its true, i love the high boost clocks i get on my thick 7 lb alienware, but a thin and light is really convenient and nice to carry around, especially with good build quality

Actually it's not the lightest gaming laptop, the lightest is Tongfang GK5-X chassis

 

I'll wait for more reviews

Ima bookmark this thread and I'll let ya know, cause I ordered one of em.

 

Got the 32gb 1660ti model cause I didn't feel the 2070 upgrade was worth the extra heat

So, been fiddling around with it a bit ( no major gaming test yet, my mouse took a dump so im waiting on a new one) but so far its really quite impressive, I undervolted the CPU a bit more then the OEM did to get a bit better temps and battery life, I average anywhere from 6-8 hours of general use browsing the web and watchin youtube videos.

 

I also used it for the main reason I was looking at it: photo editing with Lightroom: I was able to edit a large catalog of photos doing some fairly in depth editing and didn't burn much battery, according to windows battery estimate It could do that for about 4-5 hours, and Id belive it, it did get a bit hot during this and the fans did kick up, but it was actually pretty well behaved as far as noise and temps go.

 

If you do end up getting this laptop, UPDATE THE DRIVERS, Eluktronics has a list on their site, it improves a lot of things quite significantly, most noticably the speakers, they were garbage out the box, but a quick driver and software update and they are muuuuch better. 

 

if you wanna know anything else lemme know and i'll look into it.

Did you change any EQ settings?

i guess its possible that I might have clicked one accidentally and not noticed, or maybe when the soundblaster control panel started up maybe it auto-selects something
