This laptop needs a review done on it, by someone who knows what laptop hardware that can be overclocked really looks like and can put the marketing trash in the garbage where it belongs.
EVGA just has to show some evidence to back up its statements. Show us an overclocked, cpu+gpu workload not throttling with the ridiculous 240W power supply, because what use are a couple of gimmicks to make overclocking half a second quicker when the hardware choices have physical limits you can do nothing to work around.
Until they can demonstrate how this laptop can live up to its claims EVGA can remove all mention of the word overclock from all marketing material to have it not mislead and deceive. They can also not call it "first" anything. A couple of years ago clevo made the P870DM, far from "the first", but still, it's a 17" laptop that can draw more than two 330W power supplies can give, it had a full desktop (91W) unlocked CPU that can be overclocked and draw upwards of 130W, it can power two GPU slots with over 260W, each, i.e. More than needed to max OC whatever GPU/s that it came with, and had over a kilogram of copper (including 8 heat pipes) to cool it all. THAT is what a laptop built for overclocking sounds like.

High performance laptop(unlocked 7820Hk and 1080) with 240W psu. Is this a joke? 240w psu is Barely enough for the single 1080. What with the rest of the hardware? Amazing... How can 240w feeding the whole setup? Battery boost known as Hybrid tech. Same as Msi and later Alienware pushed out. Sad times if this is what EVGA push out. Ain't the same 240W psu used with former 6820hk and 1070? Or with 980M?

So much to do about a 240W AC adapter...
So, this is my little 15-inch Eurocom Tornado F5/HIDevolution EVOC 16L-G-1080. Notice the GPU power utilization. A 330W AC adapter is just barely adequate. So, you can let your imagination guide you on what to expect with that 'meticulously crafted' thing EVGA is crowing about, LOL.

EVGA must push very hard for Battery Turbo boost as first Alienware BGA models. So called Hybrid Boost features overclocking bios Because 240w psu is only enough for 7700hq and the weaker 1070. EVGA should offer a free second battery if they can't offer a proper 330w psu.

Yep, EVGA's marketing statements are way off, as Mr. Fox pointed out the following statements just aren't a reality with this notebook:
"meticulously crafted from the ground up for hardcore gamers, performance enthusiasts, and overclockers alike" and "the world's first TRUE overclocking laptop."
The last quote is particularly innaccurate, "worlds first TRUE overclocking laptop", that's just plain wrong on so many levels, it's not gonna be particularly good at overclocking, and other laptops have already existed that overclock far better. It's false advertisement. For a start a 240W PSU is not enough to support a 200W version of the laptop GTX 1080 and a CPU, especially not when overclocked. And if it's a lower wattage version of the laptop 1080 then it's not particularly "hardcore" which were the words they chose. BAH, false advertisement!
These notebooks can exist, I'm quite happy with that, but don't mislead people with false advertisement.
