If you know how to Fix Windows on your own 5star if not don't buy
(I9-12900H, 3080TI 32GB ram Win Pro)
This is my second Elucktronics Laptop. (First MAX17 i7 +2070) I came from mainstream laptops. Why? Because Dell/Asus sells you and end product. As much as I'd love for these to be and end product they are not. If you are a gamer, then you won't mind at all.
(Software)
Laptop was slow and frustrating out of the box. If you buy this I recommend these two tweaks immediately to improve your experience.
1) Go to the following Regedit address and change start value from 2 to 4
(Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Ndu)
2) Go to your services.msc Find SysMain >>Stop service >> Change start up type to disabled >> Restart Computer.
Eluktronics control panel use to be pretty simple, sweet and to the point. Now it is rather clunky and I find I hate even looking at it. Personal preference. those of you who like to customize multiple profiles for 3 different power modes you might like it. Id rather just push my mux switch and know im getting the best of the best with each mode.
(Bios)
Pretty awesome job Eluktronics always does with the BIOS. However there is no way to shut off the DGPU and use only the very amazing IGPU. In the MAX Model you can do this and it make traveling with a laptop so much more efficient. Infact I Still have to use my MAX 17 for travel because its just that much better with battery life even at 2 years old. *** Dear Eluktronics.... please please please!!!!!!! Add this back in a future BIOS Update. We know you were rushed and behind with shipments and product shortage. ****
(Hardware)
Best of the best Plus LPP??? I didn't even know I needed this. But let me tell you it gave me a reason to actually get an i9 in a laptop. haven't thermal throttled yet. Best experience for laptop gamming par none.
Will and team.... Love what you guys do. There is a reason why I only buy Elucktronics Laptops either direct, or from amazon. You know your customers and listen.
Shout out to BOAT can't wait to see your tweaks and hacks on this rig. I'd love to squeeze every inch out of this beast.
Fantastic Gaming Machine!!!
so, I was very skeptical of this brand, as this brand is up and coming i believe, but after i received my laptop i was definitely blown away and very satisfied with my purchase, the thermals work really well which i something i am worried about when buying a gaming laptop, i am very happy with everything this laptop is putting out as far as performance, the customer service is awesome, when i placed my order i did not know they were offering sale prices and when i wrote an email to customer service they took care of me immediately, which in my experience is rare
very happy person here, and if you are questioning or skeptical about your purchase i hope this helps make your decision easier in some way
Very satisfied
No bloatware, works as stated in the ad. Gaming performance is what you would expect from the specifications and then some. It does not run hot. Its light weight.
Best price/performance I have ever seen in a laptop
Bought this on the Black Friday special. And boy is this laptop special. The laptop is shockingly powerful while staying surprisingly cool. I had a level of performance expectation when I ordered the laptop and it has been thoroughly exceeded.
I expected to have to both overclock and undervolt the CPU and GPU to achieve the level of cooling and performance I needed. When combining this laptop with a laptop cooler I have had to do neither. When gaming (heavily modded Skyrim setup with ENB) the GPU regularly stays around 69-70C.
The AMD CPU is providing the same functional speed I had in my previous i9 desktop. I am sure the i9 had better raw speed, but when running my various modding tools which are very CPU dependent, I am completing my tasks in similar time frames.
The screen is beautiful and fast. I was expecting to need to get a 1080p 60Hz screen to keep the costs down. I got a 1440p 165Hz screen instead, in a laptop which cost less than the ones with the 1080p screen.
There was a minimal amount of extra software installed. It was a basic Windows 10 install with the Eluktronics Control Center and Geforce Experience added. The latter was a nice touch as I usually have to add that manually myself. It was nice not to have to de-clutter the laptop software, and instead just skip to actually using the laptop.
If this experience is what buying from Eluktronics is usually like, I am not buying another Windows laptop from anyone else.
One Hell Of an Upgrade
Bought this on a black Friday sale for a pretty reasonable discount so props to Eluktronics for making these laptops very affordable as far as the actual laptop goes this thing is AMAZING the 1440p screen males everything you play look amazing and the hardware lets you utilize the 165 hertz refresh rate ive only had it for a week but im sure i will be happy for years to come my only complaint which is minor and as far as i know kinda normal for gaming laptops is the audio quality its definetly usable but could be better in future revisions
Base Prom xvii
I purchased basically the base Prometheus xvii with the RTx3060 and Ryzen 7 4800 but with 1tb SSD and 32gb Ram. Performs better than I anticipated. temps are great, plays the newest shooters better than expected as well as the less intensive titles like a dream. Screen is the perfect size. backlight bleeding isn't as bad as everyone says, I cant notice a thing while actually playing a game. keyboard spacing is kind of abnormal and seems to be of a lower quality but I got used to it. I actually love the huge track pad that some people hate. Best 17 inch gaming laptop for the price imo, very happy with my purchase. I'm actually glad I didn't spend the extra thousand dollars for the 3080 version as this 3060 setup is more than adequate and since I'm not a super sweat in the graphically intensive games I don't notice any deficiencies when playing vanguard, battlefield, etc.
An Excellent Laptop / Desktop Replacement
I was searching around for a new gaming laptop with powerful components and not sure of which brand to get. I went to BestBuy and got the MSI GP76 Stealth and ended up returning it because the CPU/GPU throttle a lot due to heating issue. I then got the Alienware m15 R5, and also returned it due to the same heating issue. I searched online for a couple of days and found the Eluktronics Prometheus XVII on sale for $1700.00. I was skeptical about a new brand, but decided to order one as I have seen good reviews about it. I received the laptop 5 days later and very happy about it. I overclocked the laptop and put it through rigorous gaming sessions (Destiny 2 & Monster Hunter World), and it passed everything with flying colors. I normally do not like to write reviews, but feel like I have to give a thumb up to Eluktronics for such a great gaming laptop at this price point. I think I just found a new company to buy my future laptops from here onward.
Components I ordered:
RTX 3070 (140watt), Ryzen 5900HX, 1TB NVME m.2, 17.3 inch @ 2560x1400, 16GB 3200MHz RAM
For the components listed above, I paid over $2100.00 with MSI and Alienware, but with Eluktronics, I only paid $1850, tax included. They laptop also came with a free gaming headset, mouse, and mouse pad. If you are reading this and is looking for a new gaming laptop, you've come to the right place. I am extremely happy with my purchase. Great job Eluktronics.
Excellent build!
This is the second laptop I've purchased from Eluktronics and it absolutely blew me away. Crisp display, amazing power, HUGE touchpad, and so much more. It has yet to buckle under any games I've thrown at it, so I expect it'll hold its own for a while.
Fan noise is a little overwhelming at times, but let's be real, you bought this to game, so toss on a headset and you won't hear it anyways!
Prometheus XVII custom build
I love this system set up and the time from order to delivery was excellent.
Prometheus XVII Ultra Performance 17.3" QHD Gaming Laptop
I am anything but dissatisfied with my experience so far! This laptop is by far amazing (I did have a multitude of add ons ofc). I highly recommend anyone looking to get a custom laptop to start their search with Eluktronics.
Prometheus XVII
I needed to replace my 7+ year old gaming laptop so I ordered one from manufacturer I used previously. After months of delays and an update of "maybe December", I stumbled onto Eluktronics via a targeted ad. According to the website, this laptop had the same specs as the laptop I was planning to purchase. I called up Eluktronics to verify that they had the parts in stock and I wasn't going to be waiting months still for a new rig. Answered right away, very helpful on the phone. Ordered the laptop Wednesday and it arrived Friday in time for an evening gaming session.
So far the laptop has been wonderful. Plenty of space. Super fast. Graphics are top notch. I ended up getting a cooling pad to help supplement the built in fans.
After years of gaming, I can finally afford to purchase a computer and play on Ultra settings. Very satisfied.
Great Laptop
I broke up with Dell and my 10+ years long as an Alienware fan after seen the product decline with every purchase. Have been only 2 month with my Prometheus but so far this thing is amazing, performance and cooling, best 3080 laptop out there by my humble opinion
