When I was digging around my Raven, I checked through the Raven Command Centre installation folder and found a 5 minute 55 seconds mp3 file named "oobeaaron" in C:\Program Files\OEM\Raven Command Center\OOBE.

What is this mp3 file doing on my laptop?

OOBE stands for out of the box experience , when you refresh windows or launch windows for first time. It will do some setup

So while setting up maybe they have included a music or something - I wouldn't know or cant say what it's doing


You can even build your own windows distribution for it

new raven se look sexy! But pls improve the screen to 144mhz and gc to minimum 1660ti or rtx 2060.

It's decent for entry level , it's not a top tier gaming laptop

Actually GTX 1650 not that bad but GTX 1050 3GB not so sure.

1650 is okay , it performs better compared to say 1050

1050 3GB is okay enough to play most games at Medium/High settings @ 1080p. Now for 1080p , 3GB is fine. I was surviving with 1060 3GB on Desktop and can crank up games at High settings pretty good (with few things down)

I noticed my 2070 is being underutilized for gaming at 1080p. At most I see VRAM is being used is ~4GB

Depend on what you want. I myself think that the Selenite is only worth it if you buy the rtx2070 version because most notebook out there runs on the max-q variant but not the Selenite. If you are buying a gtx1660ti level kind of performance i think Rogue is more worth the money. Im an Onyx owner here with 8th gen i7 +RTX2060. I get overall 14.8k in firestrike benchmark. So i think gtx1660ti is more worth. Raytracing is hype only. I cant even on RT in battlefield V in ultra setting. Too low fps.

RTX 2060 is a joke when it comes to RT anyway. It just does not have enough cores to do processing . However in Tomb Raider , with RT on (medium settings - anything above that..game crashes) + ultra . I am getting about 61fps (i know RTX2070 can get like 90fps...)

BTW I am interested to do some benchmarks with you - you have 8750H + RTX2060. I want to benchmark with my 8750H + RTX 2070 (using TB3). I just want to see how bad TB3/eGPU is

I've been using my new Onyx for almost a week. Bought it during the Raya promo as well,

Here's my spec
i7-9750H
1 x 16G ram
2 x 512 M.2 SSD
RTX 2070 MaxQ
63 Wh battery

Here is my quick noob impressions after using it for 1 week

Display
very nice IPS display. (I do hope that it's more than FHD though)

Keyboard
takes abit of use to. I came from thinkpad, which has the best laptop keyboard. It's ok once you are use to it. IMHO, a 15" laptop should not have numpads. Which lead to my next point, the touch pad position is abit off, because it's centered to the whole laptop, it should align it to the bottom of the space bar. if you get what I mean. But it's a small issue, since I mostly disable the touchpad and use mouse.

Build Quality
Build quality is ok. There is still room for improvement. When I first pick it up, I notice alot of sharp edges around the metal casing. The brush metal is a fingerprint magnet. The charger adaptor is huge comparing to the thinkpad that I'm having now. But it's a small matter.

Performance
I bought mainly I want a machine that can do 4K video editing. This laptop does not disappoint icon_idea.gif. For gaming, I did try PUBG(it was free), with max out settings, it runs butter smooth. BUT the fan noise is loud, and the metal part above the keyboard is HOT; super hot when gaming.

speaker sound
it's not good. I tried installing the sound blaster app. but the app unable to detect my sound device. I contacted Illegear and will be bringing it to them and check. Meanwhile will be using headphones
Overall
I'm satisfied with my purchase. 1 thing which I do hope this laptop has is thunderbolt connection. Other than that I'm satisfied based on the laptop specs and the price I paid.

Ah someone comes from legendary Thinkpad series. Honestly , how's the keyboard on Onyx...would you still prefer thinkpad if you have to type something really long ?

Hey I just got my Rogue, just wanna ask that whenever I unplugged my charger, I will get very low fps in game, I tried to change the battery to max performance, it didn't work, any idea how to fix it?

CPU and GPU will power throttle - anyway

You can force it to go higher performance by selecting max performance.
