Unfortunately, I had to return this laptop as it failed on me after less than one month of normal use. I was going to get a replacement but the fact that it died after so little time and use undermined my confidence in the reliability of such an expensive laptop.
I was using it as a mobile VR rig with an Ocuslus Rift and touch controllers, it was excellent when it worked and performed almost as well as my desktop GTX1060 6GB.
This laptop also has a USB-C type TB3 port, which is not advertised and the port is not labeled as having one either. Apparently, this is a region-specific feature, but worth noting for people working with pro-audio equipment that might want/need this functionality.
It worked one evening, and then the next day it just refused to turn on, and there were no charging lights etc. Amazon were very good and issued my refund once I had shipped the laptop back to them.
