  • Intel has made the Lightest Gaming Laptop in the world and it's impossibly good. This unit is the Mag-15 from Eluktronics
    Available Here - amzn.to/2zFZ1NH
    It's equipped with a fully magnesium body, an RTX 2070 MaxQ, i7-9750H, a BIG battery and great thermal performance. It's REALLY weird that they made something better than so many other big name brands.
    It's lighter, a better performer and has a bigger battery than the MSI GS65, Razer Blade 15, Alienware M15. The Aero 15 has a slightly bigger battery but this is noticeably lighter.

    That little plastic section you mentioned on each side is actually the location of the WiFi 6 antennae. Magnesium alloy would cause interference of the wireless radio otherwise.

      But the razer blade 15 is looking way better and that's what many people look for so this won't be the choice for editor's or people like that whats kinda sad. More weight would be ok for me for a cleaner and more quality kinda look. I am a gamer and music producer and i want to have both but the blade 15 still is my first choice just because it looks better. This laptop right here is more of a: I don't care how it looks, I will take it to the next hotel room, set it up and play thing. You wont rlly use it in public I think so I don't know but it's definitely a cool and very nice laptop.

      It doesn't have absurd thermals, don't let Dave's inability to test stuff properly fool you. Everything else you stated is correct. Thermals are in the high 80s going to 90s and throttle back down. As for looks, looks just as nice as the black razer. If it came in a silver would look better.

      I own an Asus Zephyrus, with amazing reviews all across the internet and I can tell you this generation of gaming laptops is fucked up, the 8th or 9th Intel generation cpus are way too hot for gaming in these chassis (at least with the 1070 I have). Don't get me wrong, you can play and play with smooth and high FPS but at the cost of unholy fan noise and throttling for many games. Yes, you can downvolt and install liquid metal but that will just improve the situation a little bit, I think the technology is not good enough yet to achieve proper gaming experience, at least in my opinion.
      Maybe this is the first laptop that does not throttle a lot but as previously said, Dave is not reliable in the thermals, the Alienware is a great example or also the very same Zephyrus I own, he runs a simple benchmark once and maybe he is in a 20ºC room, which is not realistic for many people.

    Okay, as someone who's tired of the gamer-ey design that is super outlandish, I'm in love with this design aesthetic. Simple, understated, no weird cut off corners or angled shapes, and a nice thin bezel. The only thing I'm not a super-fan of is the keyboard. A more generic design would be perfect to me, because it would match the rest of the laptop a bit better.
    As far as the magnesium alloy frame goes, I wish all laptops in this price range were built to this standard. Plastic laptops feel in many cases like they're engineered to fail at the hinges and other weak points.

    The Mag-15 base model is $150 more than the Lenovo y740 which has a 1tb m.2 drive (not the slow 512mb intel 660p m.2 drive which is in the Mag-15), 2060 graphics, brighter screen, and has service centers in my country.
    The downside is the Lenovo has only 57wh battery, half that of the Mag-15 (it can be replaced with a 74wh one though), it's 1.5lb heavier when the massive power brick is included and has the special keys which mess up the keyboard.
    But for $150 price difference I can get the 74wh battery and a very decent Bluetooth speaker.
    I hope Lenovo takes some ideas from the mag-15 like magnesium alloy body, huge battery, and standard keyboard.

      It feels like AMD is throwing mobile users under the bus tbh, I have a Ryzen 5 3550H and while it's pretty good you can't even undervolt or do anything to it. Ryzen Master doesn't work on mobile CPUs, there's no apps a la Throttlestop/Intel XTU and the only way you could do anything to it is with a third-party community-made app like Ryzen Controller, and you still can't undervolt it.

    Just ordered an XPG Xenia and didn’t find any big youtuber review of it, it was surprising giving the great hardware it had on paper. After a couple days, this video was recommended by RUclips and oh damn was I wrong about no youtubers reviewing it, only not the XPG version but these ones from Eluktronics, XMG, Aftershock, etc.

    This thing is $1500? That's amazing, the market needs this.
    Razer, please reduce your prices

      Ikr Razer and other companies like Alienware are so fucking overpriced I am so surprised people
      1) Are able to buy them
      2) Actually buy them.

    Would this laptop be appropriate to use for video editing? The performance are great but are the screen colors accurate enough?

    Would you recommend this laptop over the aero 15?
