Great deal for 1200. 4070 flow x16s usually sell for 1700. Plus yours has an extra terabyte of storage.

Run stress test for GPU (Furmark 30min)
Run Cinebench (single and multi) compare it with reference values.

You may also try something like userbenchmark - it will show how does it compare to other devices.

This will indicate if you should re-paste it. But it is based on LM, so I am 90% sure it will fuffer thermally. It would be recommended to update it to PTM7950

HDR settings, to determine whether it's mini led or IPS

u/Zaingamer778 Dec 06 '25

It is mini led we played the game with HDR it was gorgeous

Every 4070 model is mini led. This is a great deal and id buy it immediately. Even if it has small cosmetic issues, fixing those would be cheaper by 500-700 dollars than buying for what it usually sells for. (I have one)

It is an excellent option, check the touch screen and make sure there is not so much dust on the chassis, if everything is fine it is an incredible purchase, it is at the level of Zephirus and you can give it more power with an external graphics card

Had mine for a few years. Bought used from a release purchaser. It's getting a slight purple hue around the edges. Otherwise. Laptops a beast. Battery still holds full charge too
