It is the best laptop I have ever possesed. Even better than my old desktop computer with a GTX 980 and an i7 4790K, even though the i7 9750H is a laptop processor it still performs better than my older i7, probably due to the desktop being very old and worn out, the RTX 2070 destroys the 980 completely as it is supposed to do. I didn't have trouble with any video games and all of them play at more than 60 FPS Ultra settings at 1080p, though I prefer to play at 100+ FPS at high resolutions, some games will work ultra and 100 fps but the laptop gets hot and noisy and even though I could safely ignore these things, they bother me.
Pros:
The video card is amazing
The panel is amazing, 144 fps and colors are perfect
Keyboard is great, wouldn't say perfect but it is a good keyboard
Touchpad has good tracking but sometimes will just get stuck for some reason when playing simple games like agario
I love the software PCS created to control the settings of the backlit keyboard and some other stuff that helps in certain cases
The proteus chassis is beautiful and even has some lights at the back of the panel, the details give the gaming theme but not in a ugly way as other companies make them look
The PCS SSD is amazingly fast and moves large files around easily
Cons:
Bad battery life, only lasts 3 to 4 hours even with battery saving mode, no brightness. Don't even try to game without a power source, the RTX 2070 will eat the battery alive
Could have more USB ports
The fans can get very loud during hard gaming, most of the time they won't be as loud but be sure to have a decent headphone so some of the noise doesn't reach you
Notes:
I wish to buy a 2k monitor in the future to use with the laptop, might update this post with information
I use the laptop with a cooling pad as to avoid cleaning it frequently and also to help it cool down during intensive gaming
The USB port problem can be solved easily with a USB extensor
