So, do reviewers read from a script or just make up stupid stuff as they go along? I mean c'mon. This is a fancier than average BGA turdbook. It's not built for overclocking. It is a compromised pile of trash made by yes-men. Otherwise, it would have 200W GTX 1080 GPUs and 7700K CPU like a Clevo beast.
Really? What a load of baloney. BGA filth always sucks. It has no place in expensive so-called high performance computers, notebooks or desktops. And, where is the evidence (results) to substantial that claim? Without any numbers to prove it, this is marketing hype and baseless rhetoric.
And, this statement is patently false and misleading. There is hard evidence to the contrary. I possess evidence to the contrary.
More phoney balony BGA disposable junk posing as enthusiast grade hardware. What's with laptop children eating up locked down un-upgradable glorified tablets now. Don't folk want the option to upgrade a $3000 machine or something? I'm suprised BGA filth like this has been able to get away with it for this long ! For shame this review/overview/PR piece mentioned none of it.
Totally agree, a MXM GPU upgradable Clevo with a legit socketed CPU will wipe the floor with this soldered mess.

Care to point out the blatant lies? Your above posts show your are quite upset that this laptop was "meticulously crafted from the ground up for hardcore gamers, performance enthusiasts, and overclockers alike" and "the world's first TRUE overclocking laptop."
I'd like to see the "hard evidence" you say you have that proves otherwise.
p.s. I think the specs look ok for a gaming laptop.

There is like a group of fanatical enthusiasts that can't stand 45w un-upgradable processors put into laptops and labeled as gaming machines. Even though it's like 90% of the performance of the full variant for half the power and the vast majority of customers who buy these things don't care to upgrade a laptop in the first place.
They hate that companies offer different options for different people.

The statements that are lies are obvious on face value to anyone that knows what they are looking at. The trouble is, most people don't. Specs of this example alone are a disqualifier. Heck, 240W is not enough power for just one of my mobile GTX 1080's with a nice overclock. It's fine to make jokebooks for people that want them. It's not fine to make false statements that are misleading.
There is nothing "enthusiast" about castrated soldered BGA notebooks. Can they play games OK? Sure. Are they good at overclocking and producing impressive benchmarks? Absolutely not, in spite of what EVGA says about their special gamer-boy toy. They may have a place, but presenting to be something they are not is dishonest.
This is what laptops designed for overclocking perform like. Choose any of the submissions you want to. http://hwbot.org/user/mr._fox/

Show me just one example of a BGA turdbook that can come close to this level of overclocking and performance and I will admit I am wrong. EVGA's press release is a crock.

Because it is totally dishonest. Some degree of marketing hype should be expected. Blatant fabrications and false claims like the rubbish in this press release should not be expected. I have railed on other brands for the same behavior. Acer pulled the same crap with their 21-inch Predator turdbook. This kind of false advertising is out of control. There are multiple examples of lies in this press release. The notebook manufacturers should be held accountable for making baseless claims and stick to the facts.
