Looks like a decent deal to me. Not sure why this had -2 votes before I showed up and gave it one to make it -1.

Thanks OP, repped.

Apparently. However, it seems it's limited to only 24GB. https://www.kingston.com/en/memor...top-q-q540

Battery life is terrible. I bought one of these and returned it because I was only getting around 3-3.5 hours of battery life. The only way I could get anything even remotely acceptable was to turn off the discrete GPU, reduce the screen refresh rate, and put it in battery saver.

Were you expecting a gaming laptop to last longer? 3.5 hours of battery life is pretty normal for device such as this. Can't expect a 550 nit screen to be energy efficient.

Just curious: What was your use case? Gaming or general purpose?

Surely people realize that the battery life estimates are done using the iGPU for marketing purposes? Shady, but companies have always done that to puff up their products against competitors.

If you're running the full 45W of power to the GPU out of a 70Whr battery for any length of time, you're going to drain that battery in less than 2 hours, and that's without considering power requirements for everything else, especially an i9 CPU and the OLED screen. If you're gaming on a laptop, plug it in.

I purchased one today and time will tell. I know it has a beautiful screen. I don't see why anyone would think this is a gaming laptop. A descent gaming laptop is at least 300-400 higher. I wanted to do general computing plugged in and light photo editing. When I upgrade the ram it should suffice for my needs.

Lol I figure if it has a gfx card then it should be decent at gaming no? Or does the title saying "creator" instead of "gaming" trumps that assumption?
