Tryx Luca L70 Case Review – needs a lot more work

The Tryx Luca L70 had some negative press at launch but is it really that bad?

  1. I earn close to $6.000-$8.000 /every month from freelancing online. For those of you who are looking to do basic freelance jobs for 2-5 h /day from your house and earn solid paycheck while doing it… Try this gig FAVE.CO/20SR7Wt

  2. Seriously how can you make a gaming laptop in this day and age without an SSD? With current prices it’s not that hard to give 128 or even 256GB of space. I’ll bet a lot of gamers would prefer the massive performance increase over the extra space; I know I would.

  3. I have a Dell XPS with a 512GB SSD and 960m. Work paid for it. Worth every penny haha.

    I tried MGSV on it earlier and it ran at fairly high settings with an issue. No throttling or anything

  4. I am earning about $6,000-$8,000 on monthly basis online. Those who are prepared to work basic at home jobs for 2-5 h every day from your couch at home and get valuable income for doing it… Then this work is for you… FAVE.CO/20SQZ9r

  5. IKR! I bought last year an Alienware 17 and immediately swapped the 1TB hard drive with a 256GB SSD like on the same week and no regrets! The performance gains are amazing and its only a Crucial MX100 which is working good, a little underrated one.

  6. After the bad experience that I had with Asus after sales support regarding my venerable Asus G74sx, I will never buy another Asus laptop like ever.
