Optimus VIII

Hey Everyone, I recently bought the Optiums VIII 17.3inch laptop, with:
i7 7700HQ
Geforce 1050ti
8GB DDR4 2133Mhz
128GB m.2 standard SSD
No HDD (used previously owned 1TB one)

Can confirm it runs games wonderfully, considering the 1050ti is only one step up from the lowest tier from the latest generation of Nvidia GPU's.
There is also no thermal throttling, in gaming or in synthetic benchmarks like furmark, it does get somewhat loud under full load, but is to be expected with a discrete graphics chip, there is also the oiption to make the fans fun full speed by press Function key + 1, and same again to turn it off.
The underside of the laptop has 2 intake fans, one for CPU and GPU, with the CPU excreting heat out the back left of the laptop, with GPU excreting out the back of the left side.
It looks better in real life than in the picture on their website (and in my crappy pictures down below). Also backlite keyboard is wonderful, with 6 different brightness settings
Overall i am very happy with it, and worked out about £200 cheaper than buying it premade from someone like MSI and about £5000 cheaper than an Alienware of the same spec. ;)
