I would be very wary of PNY. Bought a Quadro display card from them and had a nightmare of time getting it serviced. It took months, and the reconditioned card they sent back was in even worse condition. To top it off, the shipping charges were outlandish. Avoid.
If you're in the US this price is a joke. Much better tech (EG IPS screen, better graphics card) available, at worst, for same $. Plus PNY not a huge player in laptops.
Given the specs, this would not be a bad option for someone needing a mobile workstation that could potentially game a little on the side(If they REALLY wanted to). Price is still a little steep, but it's fair given the intended use.
BluJay614I bought an off-lease Dell M6600 with an Nvidia Quadro 2000M and I think the Core i7-2720QM for about $300. It is huge, weighs a ton (seriously, think self-defense weapon!), and can get hot as 7 hells, but I don't know of any other way to get a great deal on a machine that comes close to my gaming PC. It runs Adobe's Creative Suite like I'm sitting at home, and as long as you aren't running the newest games at max quality (and you have it plugged in with the 210W power brick) it can deliver 60fps pretty reliably.
I agree, though, don't buy this unless you need a machine that will make you good money doing 3D modeling, animation, or CAD. Any gaming laptop will give you better framerates and will be "good enough" for tinkering in CAD if you're just doing it as a hobby or for your 3D printer.
I have a Sager NP8954, which uses the same Clevo P955ER chassis as this laptop. If it's the same battery, it's only 55 Wh. Other than that, I'm happy with its build quality. Questions are welcome
It's basically the same chip with 2 core 4 thread plus High power Gen 9 mobile chips won't be out for a while. If you want a 4 core 8 thread Gen 8 you can pay an extra $500-1000 for a similar spec laptop with a high power Gen 8 mobile chip. Gen 7, 8 and 9 are essentially the same platform with minorly different features on board (ie on chip wifi processing, better optane support etc.)
