Meet the Overpowered Gaming Laptop 17+
The build of this new-brand gaming laptop is decent, with some hits and misses on different parts of the chassis. It’s visually inoffensive, a bit plain, and for the most part sturdy.
"Face-Off" Logo, or a Baseball?
Alas, the logo and branding seem like they’re from another era. The Overpowered brand is represented by the letters “OP” on the lid, with a funky outline of two face-to-face heads drawn into the “O.”
A Passable Plastic Build
The body is entirely plastic, which is hardly unique among gaming laptops, but at this price you can find much nicer alternatives.
A Sharp High-Refresh Screen
What the 17+ does have is a pretty nice display. Measuring 17.3 inches diagonally, the screen bears a full HD resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and solid picture quality.
The Keyboard Needs Work
The marketing for this laptop claims that the keyboard is mechanical, which sounds like a plus. But the feel is mushy instead of clicky, and each keycap is loose, with some wobble when pressed off center.
The Ports on the Left...
On the left side are an Ethernet jack, a USB 2.0 port, and mic and headphone jacks.
...and on the Right
On this edge, you get two USB 3.0 ports and an SD card slot. Around back, you'll find two mini DisplayPort outputs, an HDMI out, and a USB Type-C port.
The Edge-On View
Subtle mood lighting illuminates the front edge.
Ventilation Galore
The underside exhibits lots of exhaust openings for the Core i7 CPU and GeForce GTX 1060 GPU.
