This barely qualifies as a "laptop". This is basically an ITX case with a keyboard and screen attached.


Its a 17.3inch laptop. And its no different from the preexisting model that was unlocked by Prema.

Great Spec“s and Great Perfomance for sure... But this is for rich people, no ordenary gamer will spend that much for gaming... atleast not in My country... and as portable as it is... it will be not exactly a high confort to taking here and there around... its more a Home Laptop/Work...

But to expensive... for me atleast

While you can have pretty windy backpack, you have inside around 350W of power draw and 50Wh battery.
Can you divide 50 by 350 to get amount of hours you can play mobile?

Who plays on a battery, seriously.
