Matrix RP-17 Ultra Performance Gaming Laptop PC: AMD Ryzen 4800H 8-Core CPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Graphics 17.3" 144Hz Full HD 4TB NVMe SSD + 64GB 3200MHz RAM - Eluktronics Covert Gamer Notebook

I purchased directly from the Eluktronics website really early on, back in May I think. I have had my RP-17 for about 1 month now. I love it! It's about the perfect balance of speed, power, portability and price. Overall it's just about as fast as my home built gaming computer, but it draws only about 1/4 as much power. That's amazing. The screen is great. The keyboard is great. The web cam is average, not terrible but not great. The speakers are good, not bad, but not great. The cpu and gpu are absolute BEASTS, they are amazing. I ran a lot of benchmarks. In cpu weighted tests it beats my desktop by a good margin - Ryzen 2700X. In GPU weighted tests it's also ahead of my GTX 1070 in some tests, but I'm not a professional reviewer.Here's some of the benchmarks: Desktop / EluktronicsCinebench R20: 3789 / 4428Valley: 3261 / 3873Time Spy: 6171 / 6630Superposition: 12055 / 12566 (Medium)Superposition: 3368 / 3887 (Extreme)PassMark CPU: 16,742.3 / 20,657.6So, I am really impressed with the performance of this laptop for the price. It also runs very cool for how fast it is. The battery life for me is average to good. On normal to gaming mode - 2 to 3 hrs. On office mode - 5 - 6 hrs.--- Update 08/27/20---I was initially concerned about the video driver not being able to be updated manually by me. I ran the Nvidia scan tool and it said that with this video card I have to contact the laptop manufacturer for the update. So, I contacted Eluktronics support over the phone. I got through within about 1 minute which is normal for my experience, as I have called them several times to ask various questions. I asked about if there was an updated video card driver for the RP-17 and the person said yes, and emailed me immediately a link to it on their company Google drive folder. I downloaded it and it installed correctly. It was version 451.67, 07/09/20. As to why the updated video driver is not available on the "support" page for the RP-17 I did not ask, but I would imagine that it is just a growing pain glitch for the company. Their phone support is OUTSTANDING!---Update 10/02/20---This laptop is still rocking! Also I found that by using the nvcleanstall program from Techpowerup website I can now update to the latest Nvidia drivers as they are released.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  only had this laptop for a few days, and the mouse pad is quite annoying, rattles a lot!

I like the stealth exterior, does not scream gamer. The backlit keyboard is nice with great key stroke for a laptop. It's relatively light, but packs one hell of a punch. Also NO bloteware, the only thing installed is 1 monitoring software for adjusting keyboard backlight, cpu, ram, gpu, and fan curve. Other than that it's vanilla windows 10. Highly recommended

Just received my RP-15 which arrived 3 days earlier than expected! Thank you Amazon!I upgraded to the 1tb ssd and 32gb ram! The rest of the specs are the same as the base model!Packaging was on point! Setup was a breeze and fast! First impressions after setup was how fast and responsive the machine felt!The second thing that impresses me is how bright and clear the screen is! Absolutely amazing, my other gaming laptop the Helios 300 does not compare!Far as software/bloat ware very minimal which is nice.Installed Call of Duty and played some warzone and was impressed. High settings running 90 to 100 FPS.RTX 2060 was running at around 75 to 80cFans kick up when using the overclock button but nothing that I was not expecting. For a thin and light laptop the fans keep the unit cool and the frame rates steady.Build quality is good and the skin for the cover is a nice touch.The only con so far is the mouse pad! Sensitivity is good but the click sometimes not to click. This is minor to me as I usually use external mouse.I look forward to many more hours of use to see what this beast can do.Thank you again for an impressive Ryzen laptop! Highly recommend!

One of the biggest headaches I've ever run into when using a laptop long term. USB ports stopped working and trying to manage them drove me insane. Drivers for this brand are packaged up in their own website and what seems like behind typical update schedules.Because my usb ports now don't work, I can't use external devices, I can't back up my data, I can't use a usb DAC, but most importantly of all, I can't even install new Windows copies (or worse yet, Linux). Everything is locked down in the worst way possible, and I cannot possibly give enough advice to steer you away from this brand. They're cheap because the quality is cheap.

Issue 1: Windows key in the keyboard not working. Issue 2: All the images of RP 15 has the IR camera, but the actual product don't have one. Issues 3: I ordered 1TB 32GB version for 1500, I desired better panel alignment.

Pros:-Small and quite light which works well for the job I do which requires being on a ship.-Has crushed every game so far that I have put on High graphics at 1080p (witcher 3, WT, Hellblade, Metro series).-Has an extra NVME slot for the more than likely needed upgrade to a 2TB later in a year.-Keys almost feel mechanical but I find them well enough for the job.Cons/But not terrible cons-Few USB slots. I prefer using USB say over using a wireless mouse/headset. Just a weird preference of mine. 1 USB on the left side and 2 on the right. Left side tends to be a little bit of a tighter fit. Wish they would of put another one on the left side but oh well no biggie.-Fans can be a bit loud when under full load but with a headset you can barely hear it. Might be annoying to others nearby. Suppose I could tinker with the FAN RPM values but I'm too lazy. (Compared to my ROG laptop I bought 5 years ago with a 980Y, that one was damn near silent but was also a chunky boy).Quite a powerful little laptop in such a small package! Eluktronics sure killed it with this laptop configuration.

16 GB + 512 GB: I don't know why it gets a low rating. It's good. Does everything as expected. Battery backup is around 3 hrs. Plays most games I tried at high settings.
