Hey guys! Thanks for doing this review. I bought the same model but the 1440p variant. The only thing is I notice when gaming I'll get a micro stutter every couple seconds. Did you see this? Or did I just get a dud?

Old CPU is part of the problem but useless 360Hz screen with weak colors is a big one. No OLED or MiniLED with 10bit HDR in 2021 is simply pathetic.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic, the 360Hz screen is merely standard, apart from the high refresh rate, which some gamers do value, OLED OTOH is expensive, has PWM which might be a problem, and may not even guarantee good colors either, I remember a model from a few months ago having merely 80% ARGB and commented about how pathetic it was being an OLED. It will also likely be dimmer, and less efficient(panels of these sizes will not be anywhere near the efficiency of the best smartphone panels). Not to mention, the 15" Blades can be configured with OLED, 4K too, just throw money at it.
Nobody but Apple currently has a proper MiniLED implementation(enough backlight zones), and you don't know if it's true 10bit or 8+2 either.

A little weird that you have the normal/balanced profile results in bold, but the higher values for all the benchmarks are in the 'Max'/Gaming mode and not in bold. People who don't look closely enough would probably just see the values in bold and think the Blade is drastically underperforming for the specs.

Not sarcastic. 360Hz useless crap that is only needed by a very small group of useless humans. PWM isn't a problem really, stop crying. Less than 10% can see it. OLED doesn't guarantee perfect colors but they are much more vivid. That's enough. Everything else can be fixed with calibration. 10bit or 8+2 isn't really important. Still better than 6 or 8. And there's no problem making them real 10bit. Stop praising stupid apple. MiniLED is rare everywhere and it's sad.
