    my laptop buying checklist:

    pre -installed software on laptops: no bloatware - check!
    internal specs up to snuff: absolutly decent - check!
    battery life/ noise/ connectivity/ weight: solid! - check!
    looking at the price tag: always too expensive. end up not buying - check!

      Is portability a main concern? If checked, why not build a killer desktop that you can connect to via remote desktop with a chromebook or used Thinkpad? If you still insist on having portability without a desktop system, there aren't a lot of options without shelling out lots of $$$. Just gotta think about the energy efficiency of laptops and see if it's worth bumping up the budget to not have maximum desktop power (probably closer to 78% efficiency, but 80% less energy even with the exact same desktop parts).
      The closest thing to an amazing all in one laptop is either a Gigabyte aero 15 9y or Clevo P750TM1-G. See ruclips.net/video/O8zcB_EcAyY/видео.html for more info

    Jay I have a heads up for you regarding that SD card slot.
    While yes, it is great that this laptop has a SD card reader, there's a good chance it's not SDHC or SDXC compatible. I also imagine the SD cards you're using are probably SDXC.
    I work in data recovery, and see this way too often. Very few in-built readers are SDXC compatible.
    Yes, usually SDXC cards will work in non SDXC-compatible readers (like most in-built ones), but they're not intended to work together, and doing so can often lead to your card becoming corrupted.
    Just my thoughts as an experienced DR technician. You can probably get away with using the in-built one, but it's not recommended and does put you at risk of losing data where you probably wouldn't with an external SDXC-compatible reader.

    @JayzTwoCents I bought a 15.6" Mech-15 G2 [i7-8750H, GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB RAM, 512gb SSD] a couple of years ago and I considered it a rare find (never heard of Eluktronics prior to) and I've been singing it's praise among my friends/co-workers. I've owned quite a few "high end" and a couple "gaming" laptops for development and work... but this was by far the best I've purchased and, on top of that, it felt like a steal (snagged it for $1100 where equivalent Asus, HP and Dell laptops were pushing $1800~$2200 at the time).
    As for software, like you mentioned I was shocked when powering it on for the first time. You get used to uninstalling Norton/AVG, all the random crap the vendor dumps on the device... But in this case it was literally like a fresh Windows 10 install... just a desktop shortcut to their website and nothing else. Was tear worthy~ LOL
    Seeing you do a product review of them is pretty awesome. They deserve the exposure.

      It is exactly the same, however Eluktronics is the ODM (rather than OEM) so this is the "real" brand. Similar to how Sager makes a lot of laptops for other OEMs.
      Nothing wrong or unusual with any of that, if you're looking into one buy the one from the OEM with the best price.

    Nice, good to see some off-brand getting some love. I gave these guys a try 3yr+ ago. Bought their Eluktronics Pro-X P95HR model laptop. They no longer sell this model. At the time when 1070 Max-Q laptops were all in the $1600+, but they had a limited time promotion for $1350. Snagged it without a second thought (after doing weeks of research on pricing+specs before hand). The laptop is still doing great for 1080p gaming content and handles VR decently well. Gaming laptops run pretty hot, so it's a good idea to purchase additional cooling solutions; such as laptop base-pad fans and fan exhaust boosters. Especially having it run on 3hr+ gaming sessions.
