I'm not seeing a listing for G-Sync on any of the marketing copy or store listings, which is a distinct omission :(

SilentGhostA review I just read mentions that this laptop has optimus and that the G-sync function will only work for external monitors.
I would probably look at something else after reading the reviews, it seems the build quality isn't quite there.
Warranty is also 1 year.
If you remove the bottom to swap storage or RAM the warranty is void.
Max Q 1070 produces ~20% less performance than a standard 1070 (25-30% less than a 1080 Max Q), but it also runs louder than Nvidia's standard 40 Db due to less optimal fan designs.
It also seems to have the same 50WH battery as my zephyrus (1080), which runs through the battery in less than 2 hours with battery saver on, all RGB off, screen at 20% brightness, sitting at the desktop doing nothing, and minimal background processes.

p_irateYeah, sorry :)
You may not need G-Sync if you're playing a game that can hit 120Hz, but that's not every game- and many games may have wild framerate swings where the tearing at a lower framerate may be quite visible, and the input lag of V-Sync to eliminate tearing would be detrimental.
This is what G-Sync fixes: -no input lag -no tearing -at the same time!
