MixedTwo weeks in with the i7-14650HX/RTX 4070, very happy with performance and the 240Hz screen, but reports RGB keyboard flicker, audio glitches on the dGPU and occasional stutters.

MixedOwns the 16IRX9 with i7 and RTX 4060 and upgraded the RAM. After applying the tuning tweaks they still get occasional freezes with an audio buzz, and game temperatures of 70-80C.

MixedHas the same laptop and saw the same stutters a couple of times, mostly after gaming while the CPU was still hot and on the iGPU during video playback.
