    Haven't seen recent feedback for Mythlogic so decided to do a write up of my experiences with them.

    First, Mythlogic technically is a custom system builder and not a reseller.

    I ordered the Deimos 1615S (based on Clevo p750DM-G) with i7 6700K, GTX 980M, QHD 15.6" Samsung display.

    Order was placed 9/21 and I received laptop 10/22. It took a month to get the laptop but I expected this going in as I knew that the Skylake CPU's had just come out. Also I knew that the notebook would be tested very thoroughly before shipping.

    Also considered the p750DM's from other sites including XoticPC, Sager and Origin. Ultimately went with Mythlogic. Pricing was competitive or better, but I really didn't go with them for price but more for their build quality (putting the laptop together, IC Diamond pasting, etc vs Sager and other resellers) and aforementioned thorough testing (also compared with Sager and resellers). Also Mythlogic uses custom BIOS which is more flexible for overclocking (though haven't really done much yet).

    Pre-order, I had questions via e-mail which were usually answered within 12h; follow-up questions answered in a timely manner as well. With chat, always got in quickly to chat room and questions answered quickly.

    I ordered before the 980 desktop GPU laptops (p870DM, etc) became known. After the announcement of the desktop GPU systems before my system was in build process, they sent out an e-mail asking if I wanted to proceed with the order or wait for the new laptops which was considerate of them. Obviously I followed through with the order.

    The notebook came with Windows 10 CD, manual, Mythlogic mousepad and t-shirt. No USB stick with drivers, though. No papers with benchmarks and stress test results, but this was all in digital form on the desktop in a folder ("MYTH BENCH") after I first logged into Windows; included were multiple benchmark runs with 3DMark, PCMark, Unigen, etc. Also stress testing including long gaming sessions (20 hours!) with Battlefield with temps and other info. Windows 10 Pro was pre-installed with all updates installed, no bloatware, and common MS packages were installed (visual C++, etc.). So was up and running super fast.

    The hardware installation and testing seems to have paid off as I have found no hardware issues so far. GPU temps are great with max in 60's with Firestrike and 70's at most gaming. CPU temps stock got up to 90's at highest with Intel XTU benchmark (stock fan settings) but was able to undervolt with much better numbers on this benchmark (but really no issues with excessively high temps at stock voltages with normal usage).

    Minor gripes include no driver usb/disc/folder. Drivers from Mythlogic's site are not up to date (at least as far as with my laptop) but obtained easily from Clevo/Sager sites.

    Overall, very satisfied and would definitely order again from Mythlogic and recommend for others who want their systems built well and tested thoroughly before shipping.
