It's not a laptop... it's a portable, folding, all-in-one gaming PC.
"portable" is a tad bit of an overstatement
@@olivertrees well....you can fit this better on your lap than a full desktop, with mouse, Keyboard, Monitor and everything else.
Isn’t that literally the definition of a laptop? A portable folding pc?
@@jell7907 that can be put on your lap, which is not happening with this one
Phones getting bigger laptops getting smaller 😂
I guess the fans actually add a lot to the Flight Sim immersion.
Underrated 😂
Finally, I can really feel like I'm spinning up a jet turbine.
Oh my god
Haha
lmao
To answer your question about who this is for, I know it’s perfect for me. Over the road trucker that loves to PC game, have an Alienware currently, and I’ve been thinking about building a small form tower to hook up in the truck, but hate the idea of taking it out when I get home, this is a good option for me
I'm Trucker to and this is what I been looking for put in my truck and replace my setup
My buddy is a travelling nurse who wants to be able to hook up to his nice big monitor at home but also be able to throw it in the car when he travels out of town, this thing is perfect for him.

Linux actually: Toilet paper is at /dev/toiletpaper
Honestly as a portable desktop this is very cool. Looking at the price though I think I will stick with my mini fridge sized PC
Lol
what else is pretty cool is the 3 year life span before the battery shits out.
I've been using these clevos since 2011. While being a 3D student / freelance, that takes trips back home on a plane often, that was AMAZING.
You do pay a premium though.
and on top of that, then they unplugged it the power useage DROPPED, so if you wanna gave you are tethered to a wall which is not a portable desktop, its a laptop where youll always need a charger attached to use.
holy what are you doing here?
Linus: "Who are you?"
Buyer: "We are ppl who moves around, stay here 2 weeks, go there 3 weeks, back here 1 week, then off somewhere again who wants those powerful specs & portability"
Bingo
Exactly, though its more in months rather than weeks for me. Still its more than 3 different places sometimes.
Teenagers that stay over the week at school, Kids with devorced parents, travelers that do editing. Offgrid travelers that Work from their Van.
72 hours at work , where I can play games most of the time, but at any point, I will have to work.... This sort of laptop is what I normally want.
yup, I used to be away from home 75% or more of the year and usually had a dedicated space I could setup my PC so I always went with desktop replacements.
I know a lot of people in the 3D-scanning and engineering field, that just need the raw horsepower of those machines and need it to be portable, so this is the perfect option for them, because they're carrying a lot of heavy equipment with it anyways.
But I actually personally don't know of a single gamer that has such a machine.
If you're already carrying heavy machinery, couldn't you just carry a tower around?
@@LethalPigeon7 carrying a tower requires u to carry a monitor and peripherals and multiple cables to set all of it up. This just need 2 power bricks to get everything up and running. It's about ease of use as well as performance.
@@LethalPigeon7 desktop computers were not designed to be carried, so they are more likely to get damaged, especially if they have a beefy GPU. Also, don’t forget that this laptop effectively includes a UPS. A UPS for a desktop would be much more difficult to carry.
@@Finder245 If you have heavy equipment to carry anyways I'd assume you have a trolley where everything is mounted to regardless, making size and weight a bit of a mood point
I've met several gamers that prefer gaming laptops. I cannot fathom why. None of them can really afford to replace them every 3 years. I'm pretty sure they're paying them off until year 6. But they prefer them.... With external monitors, kbm and headset. Just buy an sff PC is what I tell them. They never move the laptop either.
It’s almost 5000$ with that config, because they refuse to ever say the price in sponsored videos
You can see at the end of the vid, they are showing briefly the website with different configuration. I saw from 3,500$ us to Easley higher than 5000 us.
I wouldn't buy one, but for what you're getting in a relatively small case it's not too bad. My comparable desktop was around $3500.
@@aswd45-mk14 hitting 5k wasn't easy, it's the maxed out version
@@balazsh2 It was easy because that's the exact config they tested in this video.
Just build a mini itx pc and connect that to a portable monitor, same shit basiclly.
The battery life on that laptop will be close to non existing anyways. And but portable monitor, I mean something like this.

The whole idea is about it is being backpack-able.
Not everyday carry.
Y'all don't carry a bag or backpack everywhere?
This is like, keep it in your dorm constantly and only lift it from the table when visiting home.
Why does no laptop manufacturer like dell, or Razer, just partnership with noctua and put 2 big nd light fans into these "gaming" laptops, great thermals and not sounding like a jet engine.
@@ManuSaraswat ...

This thing is incredible. The engineering involved in shrinking down a full gaming PC is extremely impressive. It’s a very niche product, but the fact that it’s possible is what amazes me. I know it’s not a new idea, but still!
@@harmstrongg seriously.
I use desktop replacement “laptops” as field processing computers for Aerial surveying. A normal laptop cannot come even close to keeping up with my processing requirements. I will peg my dual Xeon 2699 v4s for hours, so the laptop still isn’t even close to sufficient, but it’s better than clicking go and smelling everything melt on most laptops.
So you know who uses these beasts on the regular..
Sounds poorly optimised from here. [Hoping the proof I'm wrong handily fits in a comment.]
@@Cineenvenordquist well. It’s a 350mp final image. The raw data is 14ccds that have to be meshed and pan shaded together. There are 9 Pano (B&W) CCDs in a 3x3 grid and 4 full coverage separate R G B I sensors that shade the Geometrically accurate Pan sensors data to make it a color image. On top of that, you also have to Ortho the 9 Pan images together at the same time. Each exported image is 1Tb to 1.3 TB depending if it’s 3 band RGB or 4 band RGBI data.
It’s actually extremely well optimized.

Can you imagine getting on a plane and hearing the pilot say "Oh my god, I'm in the wrong seat"

when i was in the army computer like this were popular with us few gamers. easy to pack when you move barracks or bases and once they are set up on your desk in your room(with a kensington lock) it was basically a desktop and you really never moved it but you could easily if you had to.
But why the kensington lock? People would steal your property? Or just troll you by hiding it?
@optimalbass Yes.
@@Soapy_Papoose I was an idiot and thought that things wouldn't be too bad since we were all on the same side. How quickly I learned.
@@optimalbass leadership will steal it just to prove a point of you shouldn't leave things unsecured.

"Whats the price on this thing?"
"Not cheap" - Linus
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when purchasing 🤣
I agree that this thing is impressive however, the fact that origin is trying to squeeze every cent out of it is insane to me. They are even charging a 15$ extra charge to get a thermal compound applied to the cpu, on a computer that starts at 3k.
Fr I went to the site and was like excuse me what
It isn’t obvious from there site but is it not a “premium thermal compound” upgrade?

@@LizordSword you remember me? lol
I can’t find you anywhere, where did u go dude? In a miner’s farm or something?
Except, it was people like you who's wallet was silently screaming at something like this that I typically took a setup like this to. All of my friend that couldn't afford decent gaming PCs or the newest consoles for the people that I would bring my desktop replacement pc to so that way we can play games, and they could enjoy high-end gaming too. It was a really cumbersome taking the newest console to them but it's very easy to throw a laptop power brick and an HDMI cord. Plug it into a TV and it's way better than any console game they were going to have played
I'm an expat and when I left my home country, I couldn't keep the big desktop so I bought one of those cause I wasn't planning on giving up gaming. In the first following year, I had to move 5 times to different flatshares. Lemme tell you that just having a big 5Kg laptop to move VS a desktop makes a big difference. And if I ever need to go back to my home country and now that I have more stuff, I know I can just carry it with me instead of having to ship it in a container. So this form factor works out for me better than a desktop,
Thanks for the response, Origin bot!

If your point to have this big boye just for 'gaming' i really suggest you to buy other lighter laptops, such as flow x13, g14 etc. But if you really love carrying weight nor straight up love 60/4K. Than welp can't help lmao
Think of the battery in this thing as a built in UPS
yeah pretty much.
Exactly. The laptop can’t even run at full performance when on battery.
The Clevos I had could last maybe 30 minutes on a charge when brand new. That's about right.
Yeah makes sense
I am surprised that people commenting don’t realise that these things cannot actually run properly unless plugged in..
When I was in the barracks I had little to no space. A gaming pc was out of the picture, but some did have one. With the constant moving around and limited space, a portable pc replacement is exactly what I would've wanted. The military is huge so I'd say they might be one of the customers and I'd say for most countries.
When did u get out of AIT?
Same, when I lived in AF dorms, here and abroad, I had a gaming laptop.
I buy them as I kind of need these beasts… I’m in the military and spend eons away from my desktop at home, so rather than settle for a slim slow form-factor, my laptop is going to be in a barrack block room set up as a desktop for when I’m not working… that’s the reason myself and many more will spend way more than we should to enjoy almost desktop grade performance at a remote location.
this, there are 2 kinds of portable, portable as in "somewhat lightweight because you carry it around much" and portable as in "i dont have the storage capacity and/or time to move an actual desktop PC" and since laptop-screens became so good lately I would argue these kinds of laptops gained even more relevance.
I had 2 different Clevos across the span of 12 years. It was perfect as a Merchant Marine Engineer sailing on different ships.
@@noba4696 Well, i think it's how frequent do you carry them... I guess
Retired AF and yep you pretty much summed it up, and because of that baseline, even though I'm out now... I don't like having less capable laptops.
Or you could get the best of both worlds with a mid ground laptop like mine which has a 10875h CPU and a 2070 super and isn't the size and weight of a massive brick.

When I was in the military, a lot of squaddies used these sorts of extreme desktop replacement laptops, which spent most of it's time sat on their desk, but when they got posted or sent away on courses or even went on deployment it would go with them. It really would be a "portable desktop".
Yeah I recon the military is a big part of the desktop replacement market share.

As a PC gamer when I met my gf with her PS4 I am still surprised it stays on the ground.
Sorta surprised my friend’s PS4 didn’t fly off when he usually used it
Tbh once you pull it apart and give it a good deep cleaning, it doesn't sound nearly as bad as it used to. I mainly do PC gaming but do like my old PS4, as an old friend.

@@GeorgeWaleczko Anyone of those that does site work, if you've done any you'll know you end up working out of starbucks and hotel rooms and if you're lucky the company that hires you gives you an office for a week, you need to haul around a machine that can crunch serious numbers on the move.
@@GeorgeWaleczko sometimes desktop replacements are actually cheaper than building a desktop. My Acer desktop replacement has desktop ryzen 2700, desktop Vega 56 gpu (120watt tdp limited) 32GB ram, over 3TB of SSD storage, 144hz freesync, etc etc, all for a total cost including the extra 2*8 ram sticks and extra SSDs of just $1500. $1299 was the sale price. it's worth pointing out this was 2-3 years ago, when a 144hz freeysnc display was around $300 minimum, a vega 56 was hard as hell to find anywhere near msrp, and building a comparable system specs-wise was the same cost, if not way more due to the vega 56.
these people buy AMD not this Intel heater
I travel between the US and Japan multiple times a year, for months at a time, and do video production. Having a full desktop that I can carry on the plane would be excellent.

And the winner of that can go against the same priced Falcon NW desktop replacement laptop that comes with 4 times the drive space, double the ram at 600 mhz faster, and a full fledged 3060, not the max p half asser.
I had an EON17-SLX back in 2017 to 2019 since I was living on the road for work. It came with a desktop 7700K, and a mobile 1080 (which was VERY close to it's desktop counterpart). It cost me $4k, then I upgraded it with (2) 1TB Samsung NVMe 960 Pro's ($1K Each since the technology was new) + 64GB DDR4 2666 RAM... For a laptop, it IS a mobile desktop. It worked perfectly up until my coworker dropped it... Unfortunately the drop moved something inside which shorted out the motherboard and GPU... To replace those components, I might as well have built a desktop from scratch, so I did. But, during it's 3 year run time, it was perfect.
This is ver cool. As an expat working in 3D visualization industry, this is ideal for artist looking for portability. Probably not the best solution for sitting in a cafe to do 3D rendering whilst enjoying a Timmys, but for making client meetings to showcase visualisation projects, this is pretty awesome. Definitely will look in to this to see if I can get one in Bangkok. Thank you so much for the review on this.

This last winter I bought the little brother of this machine, the EON-15X, with a desktop Ryzen 7, 16G of ram, two 1TB drives (one NVMe M.2 and one hard drive), and an RTX 2070. With a few small extras and after tax it cost me close to $2700. That's still pricey for a laptop, but a lot less than the 17". I don't think of this thing as a laptop. It's a desktop that I can take on the road with me. I even bought a 24" 165hz monitor so when I'm traveling, I don't have to settle for the 15.6" display. Starbucks no, but hotel room definitely.
So I have a laptop like this. The use for me is for my racing rig, it doubles up as a second screen for telemetry without taking up space for a tower pc. Additionally it's no issue to pick it up and plug it into the TV for when I want a big screen gaming sesh!
I have a 10lb gaming laptop, and yeah its very nice to game on while traveling. It is also really nice to have a pc that you can bring to a lan, or a friends place that isnt a full power tower.

Razer Blade Pro 17 has 4k touch 120hz display, rtx3080, 32gig, 2tb nvme weighs two times less, and has one small power brick for the same price and looks way better. Why would you need a machine that ugly and loud.
@@Andrushe4kanka uhh, just looked up this laptop... and there are many reasons.
- I guarantee you, you are not getting anywhere near the same amount of cpu clock speeds as a desktop replacement.
- The 3080 you're referring to is not a stock desktop 3080, but a lower clocked laptop version.
- It caps out at 230 watts (almost half of what this laptop can handle).
- Most prices I could find for this laptop ranged between $2500~$3500. This desktop replacement however, is $3000 and objectively better in almost every way, for essentially the same price (except battery and weight, which don't matter for the people intending to buy it for work).
I thought I was clear, I don't care how it looks, that's not why I bought it? I'm talking about using desktop replacements for professional video editing. Working with 4k ProRes footage while also rendering batches of videos pretty much all day while I'm out somewhere. I'm able to take what is essentially a desktop level editing station with me anywhere, and I've been able to work on a lot of projects because I can take my machine to a clients busness or home or wherever, and work with them.

I' can tell of one use of this things.
In my line of work cryo TEM we need to process data on a GPU workstation. But sometimes when we go to different locations to collect the data we need on the fly processing to know if we are collecting the data the right way. So such a laptop can be very helpful with that. We can collect data for a few hours and process it live as it go and when we can see that it's good we can continue collecting or to make adjustments to the collection parameters. This saves tons of time, and when a day of data collection can cost thousands of dollars this can be a life changer, especially for a young researcher.
I prefer calling them "LANtops", because they're more of a mobile desktop pc, than something you would put on a lap

Not this brand, but I used to use a desktop replacement laptop. It's excellent if you need a full power desktop workstation but a small footprint and the ability to move it around. Relocating your workstation frequently is different than needing portability. Hotels, moving apartments often, small living spaces vs needing to use it in coffee shops or whatever.
Definitely a use case there. I used to do a lot of photo and video editing at a time when laptops were definitely not the ideal solution.
Desktop replacements are what I always shop for. Generally my machine goes to the office with me, gets docked for 8 hours then comes home, and if I am on the road space is not a premium and having a larger screen for the infrequent time I am using it not docked is far more of a plus. The battery for me is more of a built in UPS and more space for additional storage the better. Having a machine where I can have my home partition on a RAID 1 is nice.
People who this would be suited to: those in the armed forces, those who are away often e.g. oil rig workers or long haulage drivers, and lastly, rich people with way too much cash for their own good

I work in 3D modelling and rendering, I enjoy gaming. If we move to a bigger place I'll plug two screens into it and call it good. It's an absolute powerhouse!
Origin Marketing: This product is for the gaming enthusiast
Linus: THIS IS STRICTLY FOR THE BIG BOYS
The barebones for these systems are generally made by Clevo and then assembled and sold by retailers like Origin.
I have one one of them, a 1060 + i7 which I purchased 4 years ago when I went to university. It's held up pretty well and is still my main system to this day.
Im indian too
I have one with the 780m and i7 47xx. It's still alive after 8or 9 years. Can't even tell already. Stupid noisy but will hold up a decade more for basic stuff 😂.
This is impressive and would 5otally consider for my next upgrade. Though I would've loved to see igh refresh rate 1440p as an option
We use a lot of these kinds of laptops for live productions for lighting and visuals. Mainly because we need something portable to move from stage to stage but powerful enough to push very high quality graphics to LED walls and projectors
I remember purchasing something like this when I was deployed to Afghanistan. If I'm remembering correctly, it was the GT80 Titan. I wanted desktop performance but didn't have any room for a desktop since they decided to shove four people into a single room. It worked pretty well, and I even found a way to mount a monitor arm to the frame of the bed so that I could use a 27in. 1440P display.
If you don't mind me asking, how does that work logistically?
I've never been in the armed forces, but I've always wonder, when you see for example older movies soldiers in Vietnam having a guitar and such.
Is there room for personal items that big? The 27inch display? Or did you buy it in Afghanistan?
@@PawPatrolPapa Yup this product is for people who move around and cannot take their desktop with them
Thing is nowadays you can get mid range desktop performance from a "thin" laptop that will also have great battery life and won't break you back carrying around.
@@BerserkFury89 Thermals and acoustics will be atrocious. There's no free lunch.
@@isodoubIet They're much better than the heavyweight laptops of the old. My G15 with a 5900hx and a 3070 gets a lot less hot than an old MSI laptop I had with a 3000 series intel CPU and a gtx 675mx
A lot of my friends in the military get these, it really hard to move a full desktop from base to base but this can fit in a backpack
As a military guy, yes. Desktop replacements are military PCMR gamers' best friends
@@ZeWildwicky Do any of you opt for mini ITX builds instead? Or is a "laptop" just way more convenient?
@@MoChuang343 did you forget you also need a monitor and a keyboard, or just decided to ignore it? Also, it's a lot more easy to close this thing and pu it into a bag, rather than disconnect all the cable from a desktop and move all the stuff with a cart...
@@MoChuang343 laptops are better for us. With an ITX you still need to transport a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and cables n shit. Laptops are yeah, much more convinient. In our shop in particular, a lot of people take laptops on deployments because aircraft maintenance is a very... Either doing nothing or shit hitting the fan all day kind of job. And we are critical personnel so were never in dangerous situations. So its kinda perfect to take your laptop on deployment lol.
@@ZeWildwicky yeah that's what I figured. I've been considering downsizing my build and putting a portable monitor and BT surface type cover in the laptop sleeve of my backpack. I think it would be doable, but cables are still annoying. I definitely agree that a laptop is more convenient and makes much more sense especially in the $1000-$2000 range like a Legion or something. I was just curious if the equation changed above $4000 since desktop components outperform laptops (like the one in this video) by quite a bit at the super high end.
The eluktronics Thic only needed a single power brick and was 2.5kg for a 15 inch size. That is very portable for a desktop replacement, and needing only 1 powerbrick makes a bigger difference given that the laptop itself is already heavy. As you said there is indeed demand for these type of laptops, I hope they release a newer edition supporting zen 3 processors and RTX 30 GPUs
I personally Travel a lot so for me a “portable computer” fills all my gaming and work related needs quite nicely. Being able to use it at home at my desk and then 10 hours later be using at a hotel with minimal hassle and no real change in performance, is a god send. I’m a big fan of these chunky laptops and they fulfill my needs perfectly but they are a big investment and if you don’t really travel much or just don’t need a portable gaming rig I can’t reccomend them. Just build a more powerful computer at home for like half the cost. But if a portable gaming rig is what you need then i fully recommend the investment. Just make sure to get the extended warranty ;)
In no compromises laptops like this I tend to refer to them as portable desktops, particularly if they've got no effective battery life. It's a built in UPS for moving the power brick to another outlet or in case the power goes out.
And then the price hits you like a wall of bricks. Alas, just a dream 😂
no job, cheap M1 not good enough????
Well, when I need to upgrade I'll have to revisit this for Gentoo + Programming + EVE/E:D. It'd be nice to clear up the space from my lesser spec'ed tower. Also when I go on family trip or have to fly out to a client site for a week I could just take it with me for after work hotel hours. Looks like I'm in their market and the price'd work for me.
Well this is exactly what I like. I still play with my G50V on trips. Granted it's older games, but my desktop weighs about 25-30 lbs I feel like. This would be nice to take on trips, or even to a LAN party.
I see laptops like these and wonder "why not AMD".
Yea, they could have just put a 5900x or 5950x with or without eco mode on in this kind of chasis. Heck, it can just use only 1 power brick and not 2 lol
Clevo X170 (the model in this video) has relative weak CPU thermal. I wonder why Dell don't put a 5950X in their 51MR2 which has a huge C-shape Vapor-Chamber for CPU. Dell could at least make a Precision 9000 series with that design and that would fu*k Xeon mobile on other mobile workstation.
For Clevo X170: why not GA 102 when the thermal compacity for GPU is 250W?
I remember seeing this chassis with a 3950x
Agree!
People must buy this

This is a great Idea, perfect for bringing for LAN Parties and with friends.
One concern I have is the sound, people might start to wonder why ther's a jet engine inside my computer.
Another is the dust collection, it dosnt look to hard to open and clean, but alot of dust particles transfers through those fans.
What do you guys think?
I like the power something like this provides. Granted, I already have a desktop that's somewhat comparable, but when investing in my laptop, I ended up going for a heavier option. My main sacrifices were battery life and, obviously, ease of portability. But it's not this thick, and ultimately, it has the specs i wanted in a price that was just under $1000US.
There are no heavier options
As someone who has owned 2 different Clevos. It was perfect for when I was sailing as a Marine Engineer. I could have the power of a desktop but the portability of a laptop (sorta), so I could go from ship to ship with no problems.

It's more like a desktop that is transportable than a real laptop. For many of my friends, who love to move to big centers for LAN contests, this thing would be the Holy Grail. I had one of these kind of computers when I served in French Navy. It was comfortable to use that many of my friends bought one too. For small cramped spaces it's a really nice option.
I always remember to thrust when the LTT opening plays.
I have a market for this. I live in Southern Louisiana, and having the ability to pack everything up and run would have been nice last hurricane season. After the hurricanes my school board and some businesses have banned new desktop computers for that reason. A laptop like this would meet the portability and performance requirements of classes like digital art and engineering design.
You could make an itx build though
get xmg apex 15 with 3950x&rtx2070 which weights around3Kg unilke this x70sm 5-7Kg maddness...
this laptop-x170sm- with quadro top-line and 11900k,is simply the beast but for other applications or gaming,things like msi Ge76/lenovo legion 17 are better or for pure cpu performance,that nh55 from last year is phenomenal..but unfortunately bz of chip shortage&covid,the successor hasn't been announced which was going to have 5900x(or 5950x) with rtx3000 series.

I got a desktop replacement last year cos' I was supposed to be moving to Japan, but then COVID. Still is nice to pack up easily and have that built in UPS.
Been seriously looking at an Origin EON17-X for a while now. Reviews like this one are very helpful.
I'm using the msi titan gt80 2qd you reviewed in 2015 I believe. Chungus of a laptop at just under 10lbs, basically that era's desktop replacement and I love every bit of it. I use it as my primary gaming device, got 3 mini display ports on it and an HDMI, so if the default monitor isn't my thing I got options. I carry from my room where I game to the living room where I use it for D&D, to work where I use it for spreadsheets (and also show my boss random cool shit I can make it do) and most of all it's a LAN party guy's dream. Not as much a pain in the ass as a full on tower/monitor combo, but still beefy enough to contend with them (at least back when this was released). Overall, I really think if I buy another laptop it'll be another desktop replacement.
I've seen engineers and industrial automation techs with laptops like these, they travel for work and it require some beefy computing power. This way they can take all their favorite tools with them ready to go.
That ridiculous RGB lighting is a bit unnecessary in a professional setting, though!
@@BoredInNW6 I said 'like these' referring to the form factor, not this particular model. And I have seen people with colorful computers, when you're getting paid as much as those guys you can pretty much do what you want.

As someone who used to travel a lot and wanted to work on video editing and 3D rendering. I used to own a desktop replacement laptop (Asus Mothership), it makes sense to go with one of these. But looking back a Mini-ITX would have been a better way to go.
I have used the Asus 17inch gaming big boy laptop for over a decade. I treat it as desktop replacement not a mobile device. It has been very reliable and comfortable for work because of solid specs and good thermals. Tons of well positioned ports and many drive bays help as well. I think if you were like me often relocating and staying in a spot for a week or two then it is perfect.
WHAT ONE? THE G703?
Have a friend that's in the navy that owns something like this for when he's on a ship/moving about and still wants desktop level performance.
Man the navy must be paying real well lately
I've been looking at things like this for a similar reason recently. Moving out to Korea where I'll be in dorms for a year and this'd be way easier than my current computer to take out there
Yeah, these desktop replacement laptops were very common/popular in the Navy (and I'm sure other branches as well). I remember there being at least a half a dozen ROG beasts in my division when I was in. It's small enough to store in a locker for safe keeping when underway, and battery life isn't a big deal sitting in a lounge. It's not the most fun to haul around, but it's not too big of a deal.

They make sense for a gamer/editor that usually uses the laptop at the same place, and only needs to move it every once in a while.
Mine is a beefy laptop too, but it's almost always in the living room, in the same place, where I've got a LAN internet connection cable and other things already setup.
I have a Gigabyte Aero 17 HDR because sometimes I do not like sitting at my desk anymore. I get on the couch, put my feet up and get comfy for a round of gaming on my Aero 17 HDR. As I age I seem to use my laptop more and my desktop less.

Contrary to what you may believe, jet engines would not be very good at cooling.
Contrary, your sense of humor is lacking.
It doesn't sound like a jet engine at all actually. Mostly you just get a nice low whoosh of air.

@@StormTheFur I get the joke, but I'm just saying this guy actually isn't that bad. The alienware m17r4 I owned for about a week was thin and sexy but sounded MUCH worse.
To answer the question from the beginning; I am an over the road truck driver and a full desktop doesn't make sense but I want to be able to game when I get done work. The stats you listed seem to be a bit overkill for my preferred genre but this type of laptop definitely interests me. Hope that helps.
I have been buying these beasts from OriginPC since the execs from Alienware after its sale to Dell started OriginPC and made available its first release, which was actually an 18.1" laptop monster - amazingly enough, the computer still runs 12 years later, without issue. These newer chassis, which they have been using since 2014, are great, albeit large, but disperse heat extremely well and have adapted to higher heat concerns as the technology has progressed. However, these gaming monsters were solutions for a market that heavily lacked in production of gaming laptops for the masses, which then filled a more niche consumer. Today, gaming laptops are prolific, produced by practically every laptop manufacturer with significantly greater financial resources than OriginPC to throw towards their products, i.e. MSI Raider, Asus ROG Strix, etc. Notwithstanding, OriginPC attempts to "keep up with the Jones''s" with its most recent release of small form, more compact, light, gaming laptop, the EVO series. They recently released a 12th gen small form factor, very light and mobile, gaming laptop in different flavors, 14, 15 and 17 inches, which include i7 12700 and i9 12900 (I believe up to 110w), @1080p and 2k respectively, a 3080ti video card (125w and 150w turbo mode), DDR5 Ram up to 64gig, and either 8 or 16tb NvMe. I have been waiting to see the review of these new laptops on your channel since their release a month or so ago, but since it has been well over a month since release I figured I would "poke the bear" so to speak. Hoping you get one so I can see how they perform by your more knowledgeable and informed review.: www.originpc.com/gaming/laptops/
As someone who buys that kind of computer, I can explain :
I need the performance of a desktop, but because I move "often" between my parent's place, my uni and abroad, i need something that is relatively easy to move
Buy you could buy... I don't know, say Lenovo Legion for $1000-1500 and still have enough performance to play everything at 60-120 FPS. Plus it weights like 2.3kg and is actually quite portable. Why need 300FPS?
@@adriang3492 or just buy a laptop AND a desktop for the same price?
@@adriang3492 True, I don't *need* the extra performance, but since I don't care about size and weight, just that it's an all in one package, why not grab the fastest thing around (even if it's the fattest)
@@LunaticCharade I move too often to justify a desktop. So I end up eith a powerful, fat gaming laptop, and an ultrabook for work and daily commutes
@@adriang3492 Lenovo Legion has a smaller screen and a weird aspect ratio. Game developers already don't expect you to be running on a laptop so you occasionally see weird bugs re e.g. optimus so having a weird resolution is a serious knock against the legion.
Also, the legion is a thin and light, compromised on thermals, performance, and acoustics.
"Why do you need...?"
I have a laptop that has a high-powered CPU and graphics card. Why? I alternate my time between a number of locations and need that kind of power to do video editing.
Actually, I think the device you show above is overkill even for me, but I can see other folks who might need it. Why buy several high-end desktops when you can carry your device from location to location?
Same. My machine is a gaming laptop, but it's way overkill for the games I play. I need that much power for blender and CAD work. I think of it less like a laptop and more like a gaming all-in-one with a keyboard that folds out.
if i have a lot of money i could see myself buying this just to feel good

@@thanos5171 Or snap it out of existence....
Wouldn't it be better to remote into a desktop, with a thin and light laptop with internet? Latency should be acceptable if not for gaming
to answer your question. in my case it was simply because. while i mainly use my 8700k battlestation at home, with external monitor, keyboard and mouse.
i still occasionally want to haul it around with me, so that fact that after taking away few usb cables and hdmi cord.
is suddenly have my desktop class machine ready to go and while not lightweight or easy. i still can somewhat use it on the go too.
Pretty useful if you like going to lan parties are your friends house pretty regularly.
When I was in high school me and my friends would literally bring our xbox's from one house to another to play CoD. In college I did it with wow, etc... and having a laptop meant me and my buddies could play real PC games all on the same table / desk. Sweet af. But definitely not for using on your lap... and tbh, I had 2 laptops. One for gaming / lan parties, and the other was a macbook that I used for class and what not.

I work in remote locations for a couple months at a time, and I travel there by air. So I need to a pack a gaming rig into carry on luggage. Once I'm on location it sits on my desk and doesn't move until I head home again. That's why I like these desktop replacement, large screen, laptops.

Here's a video idea for you: Build the ultimate "laptop" by putting balls to wall components with sufficient cooling into a briefcase or small suitcase with a high-end gaming monitor in the lid and and high-end gaming peripherals and compare the performance and price with a laptop like this.
Sure, it won't have a battery, but you're not going to do any gaming on a monster like this without plugging into the wall either. Plus you could probably do a build like this and buy a decent laptop for less than you would have to spend on this beast.
Actually if you're building a pc or buying a pre-built at this exact moment, it will not be much cheaper than a monster laptop like ge76 or legion 7, and they should be identical in performancewise, if you add the cost of peripherals to the desktop. This mobile 3080 at full wattage can go toe to toe with a 3060 ti or a 3070 desktop, which isn't half bad. Than there is this, or stuff like a51, is more like a hobby piece than a personal computer.
Pretty sure theyve already done a cpl of laptop builds before

I have been using a gaming laptop from alienware with a gtx 1080 in it for sim racing in VR and DCS World in VR. Living in a condo I do not have the luxury of space so my desktop cant be in the same room as my sim rig. the laptop migrates from my office to my living room regularly for gaming and for running music software as I play drums. Powerful laptops like this enable me to do all of the things I want with a computer wherever I need to setup.
