    Looks identical to the NB55TK1 benchmarks we have, though there was a small difference in performance between the rev 1 and rev 2 chassis we tested before launch - looks like your figures are from the production version.

    Yup sorry, to clarify - was refering to the difference between rev 1 and rev 2 of the chassis, not that the NB50 and NB55 would perform differently.

    This computer looks fantastic. But.... It could use thunderbolt 3. Also what is the battery life?
    I would like to buy one barebones. With nothing inside, where can I find one or something similar with Thunderbolt 3? I like the idea of using a laptop with an I5 8400 processor and above :0
    My location is Spain

    Are there any other laptops that will function with an i5 8400 and above? Similar to this. Also WWw.dubadro.de is not shipping to Spain. But yet they ship to France and Italy. Seems a bit silly if you ask me.

    I was wondering when this was coming out! A 120hz panel upgrade and a 6 core CPU would make this a fun laptop! I really enjoyed covering the w650kk1

    Anyone actually have their hands on this yet?

    Notebook is very nice. Don't forget this is a basic construction without Thunderbolt or something like that. Actually we have NB50TZ and NB50TL on stock and NB55TK1 with 120Hz 94% NTSC Display.

    Looks nice! I like the easy drop down options and overall navigation on your website.

    Now to find a reseller in the States and I might have to give this one a shot.

    I’d definitely like to review this on the channel and see how it stacks up against its predecessor.

    Do you have any effects enabled? Check your "Playback devices" section for anything that might mitigate output.

    I watched the previous one - interesting experiment with 7700k. Great channel. I am looking forward to this video. Possibly one with 8700K? ;)

    The motherboard appears to support XMP. Is it possible to have 3200MHz 32GB ram on this one?

    Unfortunately not with this model. If you use K CPU and xmp memory this systems doesn't work faster as 2400mhz for ram and any oc options is not available into bios. We have all checked
