    Get it while you can $650 off MSRP. Not the most current model but still a fantastic deal.

    Is it a full 2070 or a maxQ one?

    Pretty sure these models use a full RTX 2070 and not maxQ.

    Yea just looking into it, it all seems to be the proper ones. Limited to about 150w spec though. But that should keep stock performance.

    That's a great deal indeed! A cheap price for a 2070 machine. I will check if any friends wants one haha.

    It swayed my eyes, though it's a side/downgrade on everything but the CPU.

    But I need something more portable.

    If you do get it tell us what you think. I would get one but I just bought a laptop within the last 6 months.

    If I do I'll let you guys know.

    I'll probably just stay with what I have now though. I'll wait until RT is a little more hammered out and AMD and Intel disrupt the laptop market a bit more.
