Huge letdown–not good for gamers, power users, or “people who actually needed a portable machine”
NOT FOR STREAMERS OR PEOPLE WHO CAN’T USE DESKS!!!In 2026, this thing only has 2x USB-A ports and one audio jack. Charges with a rotating 90-degree adapter which does not snap into place or fully seat and will be pulled out of the socket 24/7 by any cooling pad, which is not really optional with a 5080 in a laptop, or slight tugs on the cord as you reposition.I can now connect any two of the seven devices I regularly use, five of which are used EVERY stream: wireless mouse, wired camera for streaming, wired mic for streaming, wireless headset, wireless mechanical keyboard, cooling pad data cable, external drive. None of those things had a footprint larger than the laptop, except for the mic boom which has its own stand.This arrangement was partially because I am disabled, so I can’t sit at a desk, and partially because my pets trip through cords constantly as they come to visit me (it’s not like I can usually go to them.) Someone explain to me how connecting a USB hub which creates an entirely new tangle of cables which can easily be ripped from the machine is a good idea for streaming from a bed, couch, or anywhere else you want a portable machine. How can this be advertised as a machine for gamers when you can only connect two non-BT peripherals? Ain’t nobody voluntarily playing an FTS without at least a mouse and headset, so this machine functionally has zero USB ports. I can’t get over this.People who can drop money on a 5080 laptop for casual use between classes or whatever are buying something much more optimized for weight and portability (e.g. Razer.) People like me who are looking for a good deal on a powerful card expect this to be their primary machine, and it isn’t designed for that.And, while I’m on the topic, this isn’t made for adults, even though plenty of “power users” nowadays are in their 40s. Just casually turn this on in during a shareholders meeting with the rainbow LED branding lighting up a robot on the back of the screen, your keyboard, and all four exhaust ports. I’m sure the CEO will immediately throw a rave rather than never taking you seriously again.Lastly, they used a great hardware case (LEDs aside) which is easy to open for modding… and then soldered not only the GPU, but ALSO THE CPU, onto the board. You can’t actually remove or upgrade anything except SSDs and RAM, which is standard.Cannot express my disappointment with this laptop. They took great hardware specs and made them unusable for most power users. Their market will be limited to kids who want something that looks cool but can’t afford a Razer, don’t stream, don’t play an FPS, and want a laptop despite not actually needing a portable workstation. I can only guess positive reviews are from people who received the product for free to review.2 PORTS ON A GAMING LAPTOP????? WHAT IN THE HONEST ACTUAL IS WRONG WITH Y’ALL? jfc
