RE: Not Sure What To Think

So this review has been a long time coming, but it was totally worth the wait. For those willing to go see my first review, the details of the issues I was having are there. The good news is Eluktronics came through for me more than I had expected! I will say one thing however, if you have issues with your purchase DO NOT EMAIL THEM, CALL THEM. The email responses I got were not very helpful, but speaking with tech support helped leaps and bounds. After a few weeks of going back and forth over the phone to try to find solutions to my problems running games, we decided the only way to get to the root of the problem was to send my laptop back. Under my warranty they paid for all the shipping (back and forth) and in the end they sent me a brand new laptop! Of course my model is the GTX 2060 one, but none the less the new unit they sent me has been flawless. Laptop works exactly as it's meant to, and I haven't had any issues what-so-ever for 3 weeks. The laptop I sent back had issues the first week of owning it, to give some perspective. With all this said Eluktronics really came through for me, and I couldn't be more proud of them and proud to say I own one of their products. The laptop handles games phenomenally, has one of the smoothest screens I've ever used, and makes doing anything I need to do on a computer a breeze. It does get a little on the hot side of life, 85c, when running demanding games, but I've been told that their laptops are rated to run at 100c, so I guess that's comforting. When I play very demanding games I usually run in "Game Boost" mode with the "Fan Boost" on so the fans are at full speed, as well as a fan cooler underneath the laptop. Here's to hoping this thing lasts a long while. Thank You Eluktronics for being so AWESOME!

Glad I purhcased!

Product is as described! I am highly enjoying my new laptop. I had one small issue and customer service took care of it promptly. My laptop has functioned perfectly since. Highly recommend this company and their products!

RP-17/first time buyer experience

Absolutely amazing! First of all I was surprised to order my computer on a Friday and have it shipped the next Monday even though my estimated delivery date was in May. I got it the next Thursday. I have played on it for a few hours and it does even more than I expected. The gaming is fantastic. Doesn't run hot even while playing VR. I used my Oculus Quest 2 with "Virtural desktop" app to play Skyrim VR and it was stunning. Obviously it is not high end VR experience but entry-level VR works great on this PC. Thank you Eluktronics for the amazing PC!

RP-17 (March 2021)

The RP-17 with the geforce 3060 is an amazing laptop, it runs pretty much every game I have thrown at it on the highest settings without getting terribly hot. The screen is probably better than the one I use on my desktop, with ultra rich colors and a fast refresh keeps everything looking smooth as butter. The keyboard is wide enough for my hands, and includes a full numberpad (which is a huge plus for me personally). They have a program to fiddle with the color scheme of the backlit keyboard as well as custom settings for the fans and power mode for whatever your needs at the moment may be. I only wish I knew what I was doing better to mess with the overclocking things, but as I don't, I just tend to leave that part alone! There's only a couple of little nitpicks I would even put out there, one is that the screen does seem to not be super rigid at the hinges and can wiggle a little bit when I get to typing fast, but so far it's not an issue. The other is that occasionally the screen will flick when scrolling webpages/apps, which I would imagine has to do with the refresh rate somehow. But as great as this laptop is, I would have to say the customer service so far has been even better! A pair of the guys working there - Travis and Steve - both helped me out immensely dealing with my orders and refund, both super nice and patient, answering all my questions to get things straightened out. Things like that go a long way with me, as I've been on the complete opposite side of customer service before and received no help from the other company. So between the great laptop and amazing customer service I would definitely recommend Eluktronics to any of my friends (or anyone) looking for a new laptop!

RP 17 Review

Butter. This laptop is like butter. Easy set up, smooth keyboard, excellent performance. I play poker for a living so not the typical customer but this laptop is a beast for running solvers quickly. I couldn't be happier. Thank you!!

Here are my first impressions: First, I really appreciated the 2 page information sheets being in English and in a font size that was easily readable. Second, love the clean lines of the case Third, in trying to get rid of some of windows junk features, I accidently deleted some system drivers. It was very easy to recover those drivers from the website, and Finally, it's performance is everything I expected. It is an excellent price point for the assembly of components

RP-17 BEAST

This is my first legit powerful gaming laptop and I’m very happy with it, I have been using this laptop for a few weeks now and I’m very impressed. This machine has handled everything I’ve thrown at it, from MOBAs like Fault and DOTA, to Warzone and Outriders. It handles them all and performs exactly as I hoped. I use it for gaming and for school work and it’s been awesome for both. The display is clear and very responsive, keypad is perfect and very comfortable. It has impressive thermal performance and has barely broke 80*C on GPU or CPU at full load from the factory without any alterations. Some minor things That would have been nice to see but are not deal breakers would be per-key RGB and a better fit for the AC barrel plug on the back, it seems to get pulled out easy if adjusting the laptop. Like I said, small features that would be nice but are not needed.

Been Itching to Get This

I ordered this laptop back in November 2020 but took me a while to get it since I live outside the US but the time Eluktronics took to get it to the shipping company warehouse I use, it was quite timely. Picking it up for the first time i found it a little on the heavy side but this is my first gaming laptop so I didn't make too big a fuss about it. Loved the display right out the gate and the performance during general use is great. As much as I prefer mechanical keyboards, the laptop keyboard is actually pretty good in my opinion. Onto gaming reviews. It is a great machine when it comes to gaming. So far the only demanding game I have tested it with is Monster Hunter World which gives me a steady 79 fps on High Settings which I may still look into. The laptop itself stays relatively cool even under the load of gaming and it's heat dissipation has been great in my opinion (although, I do have a cooling pad so that may be helping out as well). The fans are quiet in office mode but very audible in game and beast modes which I honestly don't mind especially during gameplay since it's pretty drowned out by the gameplay sounds. As I haven't had it for a long time as yet, I will tone my review down a little bit to be somewhat more objective but so far I am loving this laptop. Well worth the wait and I was even more impressed with the complementary headset, mouse, mousepad and HDMI cable that arrived in the box ^^.

Not Really Sure What To Think

I got the 32gb ram, (2) 2TB hard drive option for my laptop. I received my laptop in the middle of December 2020, and to be honest I have a love/hate relationship with it. Some times I find myself going "Man! I love this friggin thing!" while other times I'm so frustrated with it I want to throw it out a window. Let's go over it: *Heat Control: Games run around 70-80c for CPU and 60-75c for GPU even with a laptop fan pad underneath, so "meh" but not the worst. *Basic Performance: Smoothest computer I've ever used as far as basic operations go. *Gaming Performance: So far this has been solid, however, there have already been multiple times where I will download a game on Steam and right after I install the game and run it/change resolution settings in game it will Black-Screen crash the whole laptop and I have to force restart it as it no longer recognizes any of my displays including the laptop screen. This has made me extremely worrisome and question whether this thing was rushed to be put together, or if the Ryzen 7 processor and GTX 2060 just don't work well together. -As a matter of fact every time a game bugs out on this laptop it has Black-Screen crashed the whole laptop making me force restart. I've always been taught that force restarting any computer is bad for it, so considering I've had to do it over 20 times in less than a month, I'm starting to think my money would have been better spent piecing a desktop pc together. -On the other side of the bullshit I've had to deal with thus far, when games do run, they run fantastically and the power boost mode with fan boost options is great for getting that extra boost you need for very demanding games. -I haven't tested any VR on it but something tells me VR would run VERY hot on this thing. *Keyboard Backlighting: Nothing special as far as color animation features, and It's a little buggy. Seems to work fine 80% of the time, but the other 20% the lights won't come on upon startup and toggling the switch in the Electronics app the laptop comes with doesn't do anything. Another thing that makes me think my product was rushed due to the christmas season. I think that's about all I have to say. I wanted to get this laptop because I needed something portable that would handle games tremendously and not overheat, and for a few weeks I thought I had found the ultimate laptop. Now I'm just not so sure. I'm going to go back and forth with Eluktronics customer service to see if there are fixes to my gaming issues, but If nothing comes of it i'll see if I can tap into this things warranty and get a refund. Hopefully they're honorable when it comes to that because $1600+ dollars for a laptop that doesn't reach expectations just simply isn't acceptable.

Great Laptop

I've owned several gaming laptops in the past, mostly ASUS ROGs. They've always been bulky and heavy, which has never really bothered me, because performance was always a priority. But the RP-17 really surprised me with its lightweight chassis, and how easy it was to handle when on the move. Performance-wise, I can't really compare to my previous ASUS, because it was 6+ years old. But my RP-17 has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance. So far I've had no problems running all my games on max settings while running Eluktronics' overclocked Gaming Mode. And for the first time ever, I finally have a laptop that is bloatware free. But since this is a review, I'm going to nitpick a little and list a couple of things that I've noticed. The RP-17 fans are definitely louder that my 6 year old ASUS ROG's, but then again, the RP-17 is probably 20x more powerful, thus, generates more heat. I wouldn't have mentioned this if the fans stayed at a constant speed, but in Gaming Mode, fan speed is constantly adjusted, which may get a little annoying for certain people. It doesn't bother me, because I usually have a headset on when gaming. However, in Office Mode, the laptop is as quiet as can be. I've also found myself searching for the power and mode selection button in the dark, because they're not illuminated like the keyboard. So, I'd definitely appreciate backlit power and mode selection buttons ion the future. And finally, I would have preferred two USB ports on the left side of the laptop, instead of one, because once I plug in my headset, I have to plug my mouse into the USB ports found on the right side of the laptop, which sometimes gets in the way of my mouse. Overall, I highly recommend the RP-17 for any gamer that is looking for a laptop, or someone who's looking for a well-rounded, well-valued performance laptop that is not too flashy. The wait for the build was well worth it, and I'm looking forward to using my RP-17 for 6+ years!

RP-17

No complaints at all, works just like it should right out of the box! I was worried that this would have a cheap feel to it being plastic and all but honestly I'm quite satisfied and impressed. Yes you can hear the fans but hey, it is a laptop not an iPad. I did have to wait two months for it but times being what they are.....well sometimes you just got to go with the flow. The Eluktronics people were fast answering my emails and it was delivered the day they said it would be. Kudos for a nice product at a reasonable price Keep up the good work!

RP-17 All Around School/Gaming laptop

The RP-17 is a well-rounded Gaming laptop that delivers speed and great gaming performance that is built to last. I purchased this laptop back at the end of August and it arrived near the end of October. I added my own ram and storage and found the process of adding these components easy and quick. This machine boots fast and play every game I have thrown at it. Chernolyte, Vigil the longest night, Resident Evil 3 are a few examples. I am happy with my purchase and plan on keeping this laptop for a long time as. The Ryzen 4800h is more than enough for my school work and the gaming I do.
