Came across this laptop in my quest to upgrade my aging ROG G750JM.
The only other laptop on my radar atm is the sager P9172 from XoticPc, or its EVOC variant from HDevoultion. Both of which i've speced and priced out with the same equipment as this EVGA.
I've got a few questions for the community, if I could get some answers.
1) Are there replacement keys for the keyboard I could get with a different font choice ( even if it's a different manufacturer later that I could salvage)? I love the font choice on my ROG, but every new gaming PC out there seems to take this weird route of boxy/unreadable fonts...
2) How is temperature management under loads? The only review I saw was linustechtips, and it amazingly stayed below 70 degrees C on his tests, which blew me away since nothing else with this kind of power can come close to that with stock settings.
3) Are there really 2 m.2 SSD slots? Because looking at a disassembly of the back in a review video I could only spot one place for a slot. In the older 980m model there was a second slot, but in the newer gtx 1070 model that slot no longer appears to be there and is replaced by a large silver circular device.
4) If i bought this my first order of business would probably be to replace the m.2 215gb ssd that comes with it with a 512gb samung 850. Does that void the warranty? I have quite a lot of things that would go on this SSD and the 200ish GB storage space wont cut it.
5) General happiness with the laptop. Compared to others you've had in your experience. The aRGB coverage of this screen from my research, is only at 88.9%, which is far less than the 100% aRGB on the sager screens. As a graphic designer the sager is more desirable in that category, but its much thicker and a little more childish if you ask me (even thought it weight nearly the same!).
basically convince me if I a right to consider EVGA, or is sager really my end all for this 3 month 2am web surfing escapade madness in computer research...
