[Quick review] Level51 Forge-15R (R5-3600, RTX 2060)

Review unit specs R5-3600 RTX2060 115W 16GB 2666MHz dual channel 500GB WD Black NVMe SSD 15.6 inch LP156WF6-SPB2 144Hz IPS Intel AX200 WIFI W10 (unactivated) Based on Clevo NH57ADS chassis Note: This quick review will mainly focus on thermals+performance Build quality, input devices, display, audio, battery The laptop is mainly built from plastic. Despite that, the rigidity is decent. There isn't much flex when pressing on A cover+C cover and twisting the base. Only some flex is found when twisting the lid but not a big deal. Keyboard is excellent. Typing feel is satisfying, good key travel, keys are quite clicky. There is per key RGB backlit but the lighting options are limited. The touchpad is OKish - surface will become rough with wet/greasy fingers, and the dedicated L/R mouse buttons feel a bit mushy when clicked. The display has decent brightness and colour accurate - typical high sRGB 144Hz IPS quality. Note that the display is calibrated out of the box.
