It is now October 2023, and you are already aware of at least yet another gaming laptop on the market that sparks debates and controversies. Till one day early in July 2021 when a million-dollar tweet shattered whatever bit of calm remained around the feverish hullabaloo that now seems to have filled the whole gaming community-think leaks or surprise game drop nonsense. This time, the drama is hardware-worthy-to be precise, with a gaming laptop angling more heads than quick Call-of-Duty reflexes.
The tweet in question? Just a simple one: “Never looked that good.” And honestly? They aren’t wrong. Just view the sleek, futuristic beast of a machine in the picture; one that appeared to be designed by someone extremely liberal with the use of the term “the gamer aesthetic.” We’re talking RGB strong enough to direct an air ticket, a chassis so thin it appears Photoshopped, and some serious vent action like they were lifted off a spaceship.
So the rumor has it, gaming laptops have always had this reputation-gunny, heavy, loud-gone with the wind, and almost as subtle as a grenade in a library. Not this one. This is the incarnation of the word “high-performance” and “stylish.” And to be frank-that combination waits to be unleashed from our lips.
Where then are the replies? The hot takes? The obligatory keyboard warriors arguing specs? Strangely enough-there’s nothing. The replies to this tweet are empty, which is a bit wild for something this visually striking: one would expect some loser going on the warpath about how his decade-old desktop could “still run Crysis,” or him whining about the price-then whining about the price. Basically drowned out with silence.
What’s up with that? Maybe they were too busy ogling the laptop to type? Maybe it is on another level, so everyone is still picking their jaws off the floor? Or maybe-just maybe-this be that rare one piece of tech that is so universally cool that even the bickering class of the internet have no dirty on it?
What else one knows for sure is that gaming laptops are going up, and so are we. For now, we’ll be refreshing that tweet every five minutes, waiting for someone to say something. Anything! Come on, internet! Don’t let us down now.
(I mean, if anyone from the company that made this laptop is reading… just saying we would want a review unit.)
