2 Minute Review Summary:
+ Great gaming performance from the Core Ultra 9 285HX & RTX 5080 Combination
+ Great overall Specs & performance (285HX, 64 GB DDR5-6400, 2x2TB NVMe SSD)
+ Impressive 3840x2400p 120Hz Mini LED Display for Gaming
+ Good overall featureset (2x TB5, 3x USB-A, HDMI 2.1, 2.5Gb LAN, WiFi 7)
+ Surprisingly decent battery life (~5:30m in light productivity, ~2:00 gaming)
- It's a big and heavy laptop
- Mini LED display not ideal for professional editors thanks to local dimming, plus calibration could be better
- Expensive ($4000 - €4400)
