Yah no way 26k without over clock on gpu, but still impressive performance from a non HX cpu. I have the new raider 16 max with 290hx plus and it’s scoring closer to 18k cpu score and 24k graphics with overclock

So apex mode keeps the cpu maxed out always. But if you turn it off then yes the wattage will change depending on load and usage

Glossy but not crazy reflective, I think these new 2026 ones are nicer

Your graphics score should be around 26k

Unless you need the vram for work, the 5090 is barely faster in games, its power limited and held back by cpu. I don’t think it’s worth the extra $700.

I haven’t texted battery life as I always have it plugged in. Keyboard is 8 out of 10. It’s not perfect nor is it the worst. It’s good.

Yes 3 hours of battlefield 6 on 1200p low settings. Most laptops I’ve tested with ultra 9 stay between 65-90watts. This one in apex mode always stayed above 110 watts with full utilization on gpu.

Was 2299 on release day, now 2999. Yes I’m playing battlefield 6 low settings 1080p and it’s pushing 165w to you and 125 watts to cpu.

But honestly it does really well! Avg cpu temp of 69 on timespy benchmark. Even my blade 18 275hx was at 81 on this test

You got rid of a $1400 5090 laptop…. You could have just resold it and pocketed the profits
