My Favourite Thin & Light Gaming Laptop! 2024 Eluktronics MAX 15 

I really liked the Eluktronics MAX 15. They really stepped up the build quality. It cools better than a Razer Blade and out performs anything Dell makes on the XPS line. There is an error on the Watch Dogs Legion slide, the GPU in this Max 15 is a 140W RTX 4060. Hope you enjoyed the video! If you did perhaps consider subscribing :)

I love that they did a white color one! So awesome looking.

You can raise the CPU wattage to 140W by using the manual control center options, which brings the CB23 score (in iGPU mode) to 34K. Beast Mode doesn't set it to max.

Thanks for another in-depth review, Stephen!

Tx for the review

Love this! Your review of the Mech-17 back in the 20 series got me in to Eluktronics. Currently running their HYDROC-16 and the build quality is phenomenal!

Love this review and congrats on the sponsor brother. 👍🏻

Dang, when I saw Eluktronics I was hoping to see Bob make an appearance! Used to really enjoy watching the two of you collab. That Microcenter video that yall did together is how I found the two of you and have been watching ever since. This new MAX 15 doesn't look terrible, in fact it actually looks really nice albeit just like the new 7i - which isn't a bad thing. But, curious is that for only $70 more than this one, you get a 4070 in the 7i. I think Eluktronics is about $200-300 more than they should be on this to be competitive. It's funny, though, that just a few years go Eluktronics had Alienware clones and now they Legion clones. Wonder what that says about the state of Alienware these days?

Solid review as always stephen. But I gotta say, MAX 15 doesn't justify its $1900 asking price. Not saying its a bad laptop but it has to be MUCH cheaper. There's a legion 5 slim 14 with a 2.8k 120hz oled, 4060 and ryzen 7 7840hs all for $1000 right now on bestbuy. I'm sorry but its literally half the price, packs a better display and has 2x the battery life. Only downside is the worse CPU and soldered ram. But again, its half the price. Just like the eluktronics, you can get some nice tuning options from the legion. Even without sales or fewer sales, the slim 14 hits ~$1350 to $1500. Still nearly $400-$550 cheaper than the MAX 15. $1900 for a 4060 is outrageous. That too being paired with a i9 14900hx. Why such a powerful CPU with such a weak GPU? This is more like a $1300 laptop max. My nitro 5 cost me $1200 (in a place with much higher taxes) and packs a better GPU. And the temps on the MAX 15 are similar to my nitro 5, which is strange considering my nitro 5 is literally cooling almost 50w more on the GPU, even when my paste has dried up right now, while the CPU is likely pulling 40-50w as I have tested in CP2077 which stresses my CPU + GPU. Even the weight isn't that low at 2.2kg. My nitro 5 weighs like 2.4kg. Should've been a 2kg laptop. This laptop should really be packing at least a 2.8k oled for its asking price. And a ryzen 9 7940hs CPU so you can UV it. All at a much lower price. At its price point, I might as well buy the framework laptop then.

Eluktronics has come a long way with lots of improvements

Gaming on the go its pretty awesome

very pretty

I wonder if there will be a 17" version too

I would like to see a 4070 or 4080 version of this laptop

❤❤❤

For that price it should have been Oled also better gpu would be better choice instead of that 14900 power hog

i9 with 4060? are you serious?

Tbh, I had the Fusion 15 2019, it had good hardware, but the optomechanical keyboard was so bad (missing pressed key) as well as bad webcam/speakers. But the worse was lack of software optimization. It had a 99Wh battery but I barely last 2h due to bugs which didnt switch power profile and kept the dGPU awake, I had to make sure the power consumption went to 9W with HWInfo and if it didnt, had to reboot the laptop to make sure it switched correctly to eco mode and disabled dGPU. It has horrible sleep mode when lid closed. Sometimes I closed the lid and put it in my bag, then when back to home, the laptop was very hot because it didnt went to sleep mode and was awake during the whole time. Now I have a Legion Slim 7 gen 8, and it is way better. Never Eluk/XMG again

2k for a 4060??

I don't like white laptops or anything white (pc parts, peripherals etc.). It turns yellow pretty quickly

Wtf IPS and 4060? Pffff

This has got to be paid for makes absolutely no sense at this price ugly screen with a 4060 and cheap looking, white ia nice colour, not as good as the oled? No shit
