I bought this laptop primarily for school, but it caught my eye because of the insane specs it listed. I was worried that those specs were only on paper and wouldn't convert to a quality design and experience, but I was pleasantly surprised! One of the main reasons I chose this laptop were for the 1 TB M.2 SSD and the RTX 2060 Max-Q graphics card. Those two were only available in other brands at a $500+ increase in price. The reason I wanted the graphics card is for virtual reality gaming. I recently got into virtual reality when I purchased an Oculus Quest a few months ago. About a month ago I found out that there was an application that would allow me to stream steam vr wirelessly to my headset and to my amazement it worked beautifully! That was using a full on GTX 1070 on a desktop computer. I wondered if a laptop sized graphics card could handle the same process and so I decided to buy this laptop for that purpose (along with work and school of course). Setting up the laptop was simple and everything about the laptop I am in love with. The keyboard is very responsive, the laptop is the perfect size and it runs my vr games, including Half-Life Alyx beautifully. I am amazed with this laptop every day and can't wait to see how far it can take me since I haven't even attempted to use the Ryzen 9 processor and 16GB RAM to their full potential. The only slight downside was not having a webcam, but I realized that I hardly ever use it anyways and I can always use my phone to handle the camera portion of zoom meetings for me. It actually works better since I can join in with my laptop as well and have the whole screen free. Would recommend to anyone looking to use for virtual reality, or gaming in general on top of every day school and/or work.
