That's actually a good deal!
I helped setup this exact laptop for my nephew earlier this year and overall I'd say it's pretty decent, especially at that price.
Postivies:
- Good performance, I have Titan Xp and 980Ti desktop setups so was expecting a fair dip in performance on the 1070 Laptop GPU, however since you are forced to 1080p it actually performs very well indeed and I would be happy to game on it any day.
- Solid feeling (material finish is a bit plasticky but I'm OK with that, it's actually more resilient than my Dell XPS aluminium affair which you have to be super careful with not to scratch/dent
- Overall experience - it's fast enough it feels desktop grade in windows, no issues with 16GB RAM and the 256Gb M.2 drive (Although I upgrade his to a Samsung 970 EVO Plus)
Minor Negatives:
- The screen is good but not exceptional in terms of brightness/black levels etc, but it is 120Hz/G-Sync so you kind of expect it's orientated towards that end. I did find a little more ghosting than I was expecting, however it's exceedingly minor and since checking a few laptops out I've found this is on par with anything else at that price.
- This isn't the laptops fault, but the 8750h is just power hungry and all laptops of this kind suffer with heat/noisy fans, but some people buy them and get buyers remorse when the fans spin up and they aren't expecting it.
- The G-Sync is a bit of odd, I use G-Sync on the desktop for 4K gaming where frame rates dip to 45-60fps every now and again and this stops any tearing or stutter, however on a small screen with 70-100fps 1080p games it doesn't seem as impactful (but still works), the downside is the battery life most certainly disappoints if you suddenly then just use the laptop for browsing/normal duties.
