The firm is rather proud of its first laptop, first seen at the CES2016 this January.

Ah. One of the few well looking (in my taste) gaming laptops, that doesn't look like a brick modeled for a 1970's space program. If only one had the money, this could a serious consideration. I will look forward to a potential review.

Understated, minimalist looking laptop, made to appeal to "grown ups" rather than a child.
I Like It.
Not sure how they are going to limit it to one per household (aside from the price) as thats would be easy to negotiate around.
That bottom lip bezel though looks rather deep and no mention of touch enabled display.
The killer for me is what the noise levels are like.

I don't care about appearance, but I am also curious about the noise/heat level of this laptop. Controlling the noise in thin but high powered laptop seem to be a challenge for manufacturers.
Rarely mentioned, yet something I am going to pay close attention from now on, is the ease of cleaning the vent/fans. Usually you can get away without cleaning a desktop for a very long time but laptops aren't quite as forgiving and after a while will start to throttle because the fans can no longer push as much air. My current laptop requires me to dismantle everything from the screen to the optical drive if I wanted to clean the fan of the CPU and GPU.

Also add that once per household is kinda silly. A gaming laptop is a niche product, so demand isn't going to be through the roof, so unless they are anticipating supply issues, such restriction doesn't make sense.

We'll have a review of it early next week. Our sample is en-route to us now.

Eagerly Waiting for the review.

The GTX980m is OLD now, why didn't they wait for pascal. Seems an odd move.
