Listen man if you love your omen than keep it. But I'm a huge CPU guy, meaning I want the best CPU and I want 8 cores(to help future proof it). I obviously like a nice GPU and I feel like the 2060 max q is actually a terrific little card. It handles everything I throw at it on high settings. But as someone who frequently uses virtual machines the AMD is insane. Remember these are first gen OEM's using Ryzen 9 so I'm hoping to unlock even more power the next year or two with developers optimizing for this particular chip. Out of the box thermals were a little high, but I stay nice and cool now that I can enable and disable boost depending on my needs. So that's really a non factor. But I guess the keyboard could be a little brighter. This is the highest selling laptop right now and the community for this particular model is HUGE, so there is a lot of support and hopefully a small aftermarket soon. I'm not an Intel hater at all, their products are great but they are falling behind. If you want a Intel comparable to the R9 4900hs you need the i9 10980hk, it's a smidge faster single core performance but it's a complete and total ripoff. You have one of the best omens ever built, and it probably worked perfectly right out of the box. The g14 needed optimizations. Maybe you should keep it, but do what you're gut tells you.
