    What was that about a 100Hz 1440p screen? That doesn't make sense it's a 120Hz 1440p screen.

    Interesting review. Asus always is quiet. The Clevos usually do need undervolting and repasting for good desktop cpu temps.

    Is the P870DM2 having crashing issues?

    Is this laptop able to switch from the Intel GPU like the new Alienware/MSi?

    Could you please tell me what screen does your G701VI have (panel info, number, panel type: IPS or TN)?

    You can find this info using HWiNFO64 utility: https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php It has portable version, no need to install.

    The second question regarding PWM. Do you think G701VI uses it?

    Thank you very much!
