5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising Performer
By Sebastian Jefferson
I recently played some games on my friend’s new Thunderobot laptop, and honestly, I was skeptical at first. I’d never heard of this brand before, but wow — the performance blew me away.The Core Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5080 combo is insanely powerful. Games ran ultra-smooth with no lag at all, and multitasking felt effortless. Everything was fast, responsive, and stable.The design looks sleek and premium, with solid build quality and nice RGB lighting that isn’t overdone. The display is also stunning — bright, vibrant, and easy on the eyes even after hours of gaming.After that experience, I’m seriously planning to get one for myself. I’m just waiting for the big Black Friday Thunderobot sale to grab it at the best deal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing laptop with a slight gotcha
By Some Reviewer
Ended up purchasing the 5080 variant with 32gb of RAM and 2tb SSD. Worth every penny. Laptop is fast, CPU and GPU temp are around 80c playing Warzone. Had everything turned up to high/ultra settings and it performed flawlessly. At first I was a little wary of the build quality, but was pleasantly surprised at how well built the laptop is. There is a bug in their control center app that controls the keyboard lighting where custom config doesn’t work. There is no way to configure individual colors per key. The reason I’m giving it a 3 star is the description says there are upgradable slots for SSD. After confirming with customer service, upgrading the RAM or adding a second SSD will void the warranty. They should put that in the description. Alienware, which I also own, does not have this restriction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good So Far!

I heard mixed reviews on this. I took a chance and it's only been 2 weeks, but so far so good. The Alienware software takes about 10 to 20 seconds to load when first opening it. after that 5-10. The back end got flack for being too big. But Who is really carrying around a 16 inch gaming laptop. Keys feel great. RGB is good. Keys are clear and not blinding like most RGB backlits. Design is good imo. feels premium. Cam is decent. Touch pad is smooth. Display is nice, all text is clear and colors are good. I heard many people complaining about the brightness levels. But in a dark room I actually turn the brightness down. And in my home with normal outdoor light coming in, I have no issues with the brightness. 2 usb 2 usb c, this is the only downside. in my opinion. I wish there was one more. I do like there are no cables coming from the sides. All ports in back. Cleaner desk look. will update if I have any issues.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this laptop!!!

This laptop is a GIANT waste of money. It didn't last for 2 weeks before the system stopped charging itself and shut down. I had to return it without being able to remove my data. I am VERY disappointed with this product and purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good laptop

Delivery is ground so it is slow. The laptop is great and double boxed so porch pirates have no idea what it is.
