Review on Sager NP7879PQ 17 3 Inch I7 11800H Windows by Michael Onwukaife

I'm a professional architectural photographer and videographer who needs a laptop powerful enough to take with me on the go. I also need sufficient color accuracy, which many laptops don't offer. I took a chance and am happy to report that while this is not a wide color panel, it does cover 100% sRGB according to my Spyder 5. I edit on 2K wide color monitors in my home studio, but sRGB is fine for on the go. And it's a decent looking matte panel. My old laptop had a 4K widescreen color display, which is better, but this teller is perfectly adequate, even at just 1080p. I recently decided to upgrade and took a close look at Ryzen, which I honestly would prefer to Intel. Unfortunately, OEM support and availability aren't enough, so I decided to pull the trigger on this machine, which I think is a great $1,500 deal, especially with the option of adding another NVMe SSD to install Anyway, Intel still does a great job with Photoshop. In some ways even better than one of the best Ryzen processors. This machine is a big step up from my four year old i7-6700h with 16GB of RAM. With 32GB of RAM and a fairly fast processor, I don't worry about video editing. Reading some of the reviews made me concerned about the thermal performance of this machine. To see how it does what I need, I ran PugetBench for Photoshop on it today as soon as I got it. As you can see, the benchmark overclocked the first three cores to 92/3c or a little more, but no more than a second or two. The laptop has never been too hot, and in my day-to-day use I've rarely, if ever, pushed it that hard. I can't say anything about the game, maybe the problem. I just can't know. (By the way, I ran the test with the laptop on a wooden table in a room about 79 feet up.) Take a look at the latest results and you'll see that this laptop did very well compared to similar devices. The build quality is reasonable. It's a simple design that doesn't look too much like a slot machine and I think it looks pretty attractive. Feels a little plasticky but still solid. The trackpad is better than on my old laptop, but I usually use a mouse and Wacom, so the trackpad isn't that important. The keyboard is nice, the backlight is good. It appears to be a clean install of Windows and I didn't encounter any malware. Overall I give this car five stars. If the build quality was a little better I would give it a solid five stars. This laptop is a steal at $1,500. Just a great price. Thank you Sager. I am very happy with this purchase.
