The Eluktronics MECH-17 is an absolute monster of a gaming laptop, and though we do not normally prefer posting about those larger 17-inch machines, its $1,999.99 price listing on Amazon caught us off guard. Sure, paying $2,000 for a laptop is still a massive sum, but what if we told you that the MECH-17 not only supports liquid cooling but it is also armed with an RTX 3080 Ti with up to a 175W power limit and 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM? That certainly caught your attention, so let us get into the details.
Though the hinges of the Eluktronics MECH-17 are closer to one another, reviewers state that the gaming laptop is well built and the hinges are sturdy too. The display has a 2560 x 1600 resolution thanks to its 16:10 aspect ratio, along with a refresh rate that goes up to 240Hz, and yes, it supports G-Sync. The taller screen means you will have more real estate to work with, which is always a plus. The gaming laptop features a MUX switch to shift to the NVIDIA GPU, but more importantly, it supports Advanced Optimus, so if you want to switch to the dedicated GPU for a higher framerate, you will no longer have to reset the laptop.
Plenty of ventilation for the gaming laptop
The liquid cooler will have to be purchased separately on Amazon or from Eluktronics’ own website. One of the biggest advantages of owning the MECH-17 is that it comes with no bloatware and runs the cleanest version of Windows. Also, the Control Center software lets you manually control the GPU and CPU power limit depending on the work you do or if you want to shuffle between the best raw performance or better temperatures. The laptop RTX 3080 Ti is paired with an 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU, along with 1TB of PCIe NVMe Gen4 SSD and 16GB of DDR5 RAM.
Here is how the liquid cooler attaches to the laptop for even better thermal performance
The battery capacity is 99.8WHr, which is the maximum legal limit that you can carry on an airplane, and given that the MECH-17 features an AMD CPU, you will get multiple hours of battery life when the gaming laptop is not plugged in. Eluktronics also offers the exact same laptop and GPU with Intel’s 12th-generation processors, but it will mean that you do not experience the same battery endurance, so keep that in mind.

If you think that $2,000 is too much for a laptop of this caliber, bear in mind that machines sporting an RTX 3080 Ti cross the $3,000 price threshold, so with that comparison, the MECH-17 hits it out of the park. We do not know for how long the discount will last, so if you have the available cash and want something that can be made into a true desktop replacement, this model from Eluktronics is something you should be eyeing next.
