I was a bit surprised to see a gaming laptop from EVGA - though I shouldn't have been based on their MB and BIOS expertise. How did their first effort fare?

EVGA makes its move into the gaming notebook market with a bold CES 2016 reveal, introducing their first 17 inch gaming laptop. The device features a pristine 4K IPS display mounted in a sleek aluminum chassis with a single hinge, signaling a premium build. Inside, it sports a Skylake based quad core processor, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 256 GB SSD, along with modern essentials like USB-C, Bluetooth 4.2, and a robust set of I/O including HDMI and dual mini DisplayPorts. Notably, EVGA leverages its motherboard and BIOS expertise to deliver a user experience that feels refined for a first effort: a solid keyboard, tuned speakers placed toward the user, and BIOS level overclocking options that can push the CPU to around 3.8 GHz while aiming to stay quiet under load. While the GTX 980M GPU powers performance, the unit is not yet equipped with G-Sync in this model, though EVGA indicates plans for a follow-up with G-Sync later in the year. The video closes with cues for audience engagement, inviting viewers to share whether they see a viable place for EVGA in the crowded gaming laptop market, and praising the smooth CES coverage supported by Squarespace.
