Yeah I mean look at this hp omen laptop:

Compared to this maingear laptop:

The maingear laptop's performance is far better than hp omen's and they are almost the same price.

It just depends on the manufacturer and how they source their parts, labor, etc. I did a review of the Maingear Vector 2 if you're interested in it.

I can try to get back to you about the display brightness and game temps. The USB-C port in the rear is not display enabled.

Thank you!
I actually fell in love with this laptop and I really want to purchase it, but I live in Morocco. Is there any way that I could get it here? I searched on Amazon but the shipping costs are too high. Please do you know any seller that ships to Morocco at a reasonable cost?
Thanks in advance 🙂

I know Micro Center doesn't offer international shipping but according to Maingear's FAQ, they ship internationally. You might want to start at the source

Thanks for your reply.
But I checked maingear's website and the shipping costs is $600 😱. Amazon's is $300. I think I'll try to find another laptop that ships to morocco at a lower cost.
But thank anyway for your reply.

So it looks to be 220 nits which seems to be on the average spectrum. F1 2019 at Ultra on the Melbourne Track was topping at around 82 degrees.

Wrong model # was grabbed. 300 nits.
