Top notch support & one of the best laptops I've ever owned. After spending what would be a good three or so months looking for the right laptop for me by scouring forums, subreddits, Youtube (Lookin' at you, BOB and OWNorDisown) and review sites for hours on end, I decided to get the Mech 15 G3 here w/ the 2080 Super option, Eluktroboost, no OS install, liquid metal cooling. Lemme tell you this upfront. If you're considering buying a laptop from Eluktronics, do it. Here's why. My pre-order went smoothly, it shipped quickly, and initial setup was a breeze. Access to the memory/m.2 slots was easy. I didn't have to go through a labyrinth of screws to install anything compared to other laptops I've owned or had to set up. Pricing & value is one of the top things I look for when it comes to shopping for laptops because honestly, you're paying a premium for portability and power. Compared to other options for 15.6in laptops on the market right now, the Mech is a sensible and smart choice due to the internals. The first thing you'll notice is that the laptop is LIGHT. Like, 'you'll probably misjudge just how much force you have to pick it up' kind of light. If you've used other barebones laptops/desktop replacements in the past, you'll know EXACTLY what I mean. Build quality is great. It's a durable chassis, even though the bottom is plastic which is a minor nitpick, but if you've got a decent laptop bag it's a non-issue. The mechanical keyboard, one of the biggest selling points of the laptop, feels fantastic. It's got a nice tactile feel, but it's a lot quieter than you'd expect. It's comfortable to type and game on for long periods of time. The touchpad is accurate and easy to turn off if you've got a mouse hooked up. There's no rattle, so that's a major plus compared to other brands. The 240hz matte display panel is awesome. Great color accuracy and the brightness is good for me. I know a bunch of folks are nitpicky about the nits, but I'm not one of them. The speakers are better than I expected! They don't sound tinny at all and they've got a good amount of power in them. I usually use a headset, so this doesn't have as much weight on review stuff for me. Battery life is great. I tend to stay tethered to the AC adapter when I game. Expect about an hour, maybe two if you're playing games off of it. Really depends on what you enjoy playing. Wi-Fi is fast and reliable. Don't have to deal with the Killer NIC software either. Ethernet speeds are great too. MUX switch is a gamechanger if you're just doing web browsing and other non-game stuff. If you lower your brightness a bit, this lasts for HOURS on battery. Performance is where the Mech 15 G3 shines. It's run everything I've thrown at it perfectly. Warzone, Battlefield, all sorts of stuff. Eluktroboost makes a world of difference. Thermals are great under load. Way cooler than other chassis I've used. Be sure to get the liquid metal option and don't worry about the lead time. It's worth it. The only nitpicks I have about the laptop is the Control Center software and USB port placement. There's an issue for some where it can't retrieve the calibration profile for your display. Aside from that, it's alright-ish. Does what it says on the tin. I got in touch with support about the calibration issue above. Considering we're in a pandemic at the moment and they've been working hard on getting laptops out the door for other customers, their response was quick, courteous, and they were extremely helpful with my issue. Compared to other companies' support experiences I've had over the years, they've gone above and beyond what I expected and I gotta give thanks to everyone who helped out. If you want a portable, durable, and above all else, POWERFUL gaming/all-purpose laptop with great support, this is what you're looking for. I know for a fact that when it's time to upgrade, I'll be looking to Eluktronics first. If you've read this far, you should just buy the f**king laptop already.

What a great machine Exceptional thermals, full keyboard mux switch, thunderbolt 3, three great performance profiles including (which I love) eco mode for the CPU while still always giving the GPU it's 115 watt power (with the exception of beast mode which gives 150 watts via EluktroBoost for my RTX 2070 super) I've been using and testing my laptop for 2 weeks now and I'm very happy with this purchase Eluktronics does it again and again as the enthusiast's laptop. I mainly use it docked with a USB C to display port via the thunderbolt 3 port in the back. in case you're wondering it's eGPU friendly as well whether you use a TB3 enclosure or EXP GDC Beast or ADTLINK, it works with little to no trouble. (Set your mux switch to iGPU) I can't give enough praise to Eluktronics for their utilization of power and thermals inside this chassis. One of the very few laptops I know that uses a 10875H that DOESN'T thermal throttle. Great job Guys

Great laptop for gaming and all tasks while constantly moving I had built a gaming PC and was able to enjoy that for a few years, but now that I'm moving often, I needed to sell that and get a laptop. This was a fantastic choice, and I cannot say enough good things about this laptop. The mechanical keyboard is very smooth, responsive, and crisp. I really enjoying typing on this thing, even more-so than my external mechanical keyboard with brown switches that was my pride and joy. The RGB is fantastic and not out of place. It is very discrete and packs a lot of power. The frame of the computer is very solid and attractive. The screen is fantastic and extremely beautiful, with no dead pixels that I can see. I consistently get a solid 90 FPS on most games, right out of the box, on high settings. Some lighter and less demanding games should be able to take full advantage of the 240 hertz screen. One note, I opted out of additional storage from Eluktronics and installed my own. It was extremely easy and took maybe 5 minutes in total. I do plan to optimize the CPU a bit, undervolt and try to overclock. There is no need for me to overclock the GPU as I have not seen it go anywhere past 75% to 80% utilization. Temps are fantastic, and while the fans may get loud on beast mode, the keyboard nor the frame ever get uncomfortably hot. Forewarning, I never game with it on battery power. That's a one way ticket to bad FPS. Keeping it plugged in for gaming is the way to go. Paying a premium for a product is never easy, but I can't say that my money would have been better spent elsewhere. This laptop is the whole package. If I ever need another laptop, I will definitely choose Eluktronics again. If you're thinking about this laptop, buy it.

The Perfect Laptop I am coming from a 2011 Macbook Pro. I was apprehensive to dive into the Windows Gaming Laptop world but I am delighted that I did. This laptop has everything. It is so slim and packs sooooooo much power. I am not one to do benchmarks and what not but if you look on Reddit and other forums the 2070S packs a punch. There was even a gentlemen who further tweaked his 2080S to 150W! I am so impressed with Eluktronics and what they offer and their customer service. If you are looking for a replacement this is it.

A fantastic alternative to what I originally planned Being a previous Macbook Pro user of 11 years, I recently started searching for a new laptop; With specs of 64GB of ram and 1TB hard drive with 8 cores, it was going to cost around $4500. I'm extremely pleased with my 2TB, 8 core, 64GB of ram MECH-G3; It's been a long time since I've had an Nvidia GPU and the 2070 Super doesn't disappoint at all. Games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Metro Exodus, and DOA6 run without breaking a sweat. I love how it's the covert model with no logo either. Fantastic purchase for a very very reasonable cost.

Fantastic Laptop I've had the Mech 15 G3 for a few weeks now and it is better than I had imagined. The build quality is perfect, nothing is mismatched, the keyboard is quieter than I thought it would be. I've had several Alienware laptops, the last being the Alienware 13R3 and this laptop fits in the same backpack I had used for the 13R3 and it fit more easily. It is thinner than the 13r3 but a little heavier due to the larger battery. My framerates are up now in Battlefied V and COD Warezone and I'm making more kills and winning more games. The Boost switch has 3 modes, Office, Gaming and Beast modes. Office mode is very quiet, you have to have a silent room to hear the fans at all, the fans really kick in in Gaming and Beast modes, I wear a headset of ear buds when I'm playing so the sound of the fans doesn't bother me. I also don't see much of a difference in frame rates between Gaming and Beast modes. Also, the power supply really heats up in those two modes. The keyboard gets warm, but is still manageable. Overall, I would recommend this laptop as one of the best I've had to date, I compared all the major brands and custom brand builds before purchasing this one, this laptop is the bet bang for the buck you can get!

Bringing out the BFGs I am pretty obsessive. I will shamelessly order things often and return them if even the smallest detail doesn't suit my needs. Here's the thing - I expected this to be the story about this laptop. But for the life of me, I just can't find anything about it that I don't like. Performance isn't worth talking about because as you would expect, it's insanely powerful. The temps are best-in-class, the display is beautiful (with some but minimal light bleed), build quality is what you would expect from the likes of Asus, HP, MSI, or Razer - but not quite up there with Lenovo or Dell's equally high end options. BIOS is intuitive, if not a bit minimalist. I got my unit barebones. Slapping some 3200 XMP RAM and a Samsung NVME drive in there took all of 20 minutes. Booted up, installed Windows - failed. Huh.. Turned off XMP, tried the Windows install again - success. Turned on XMP after Windows install and we're good. I cannot speak for the driver and software installation as I slipstreamed those into the Windows ISO using NTLite (low-key plug for a dope piece of software). But this process worked beautifully. Put it through some benchmarks and it becomes clear that I'll never really use all of the power it has at it's disposal. Oh well.. I get to end the cycle of sending back trash laptops so I'm more than happy and will not be sending this thing back barring some catastrophic issue. To Eluktronics... Your customer support was obviously drowning as I tried for a week to reach you by phone and was unable. Email response time took over a week as well when I enquired about the missed shipping window. COVID impacts aside, hire more people if you are going to toute the boutique-level customer support as a selling point of your products. I did eventually receive a response and was compensated for the inconvenience - so it's hard to stay upset about that. But if I have a truly high priority issue in the future and get ghosted for a week - well, you get it. All in all, I love the product and will report back if anything changes.
