Maingear Vector Pro MG-VCP17 laptop review: 165 W GeForce RTX 3080 for ultrathin size

Great alternative to MSI, Asus or Razer. Super-thin gaming laptops are sexy and all, but they typically come with lower-power GPUs in the 100 W range. The Maingear Vector Pro bucks the trend by stuffing a 165 W GPU into a chassis the size of a Razer Blade Pro, but can it actually perform?

The Vector Pro is an ultra-thin 17.3-inch gaming laptop from the custom PC builder Maingear. It's an ultrathin high-performance system in the same vein as the MSI GS75, Razer Blade Pro, Asus Zephyrus S17, or Dell Alienware x17 series.

Our test unit has been fully configured with the 11th gen Core i7-11800H CPU, 165 W GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, and 165 Hz 1440p IPS display for approximately $2500 USD retail. Lesser SKUs to be made available with the RTX 3070 for lower starting prices.

It's worth mentioning that the Vector Pro utilizes a white label Tongfang chassis. Thus, users can find very similar designs and features from other resellers (Eluktronics, CyberPowerPC, Schenker, etc.) including the Schenker XMG Neo 17 or XMG Core 17.

Case

The chassis may not be as flashy as an Asus Zephyrus S or MSI GS75, but it certainly feels stronger and more rigid. The base doesn't yield or creak when attempting to twist its corners for strong first impressions. The lid and hinges, however, could have been stiffer to reduce teetering when adjusting angles. The thicker Asus ROG Strix laptops have larger hinges for a better sense of longevity.

Dimensions are nearly identical to the Razer Blade Pro. Weight, however, is almost half a kilogram lighter in favor of the Maingear. The lack of a vapor chamber cooler in the Maingear is likely responsible for the lighter weight.

Connectivity

Port options are nearly identical to the Tongfang GM7ZG7S or GM7MG0R but with one notable exception: our Maingear chassis integrates a MicroSD reader instead of a full-size one. Thunderbolt 4 is natively supported via the Intel chipset unlike on AMD-powered laptops.

Unfortunately, the laptop cannot be recharged via USB-C even after testing out multiple USB-C adapters.

SD Card Reader

Transfer rates are average from the integrated MicroSD reader. Moving 1 GB of pictures from our UHS-II test card to desktop takes about 14 seconds compared to less than half that on the MSI GS75.

One of the few MicroSD readers where the card must be inserted upside-down. Additionally, the reader is not spring-loaded and so the card sill protrudes when fully inserted

Maintenance

The bottom panel pops off fairly easily after removing the ten Philips screws underneath. Owners have direct access to the battery, both M.2 2280 slots, both RAM slots, and the WLAN module.

Accessories and Warranty

There are no extras in the retail box other than the AC adapter, paperwork, and a couple of Maingear logo stickers. The standard one-year limited warranty applies with extension options from Maingear.

Input Devices

Keyboard

Key feedback and travel could have been firmer and deeper especially for a gaming laptop. Though not as light or shallow as a cheap Asus VivoBook, more give on the keys could have improved the gaming and typing experience. Feedback is more comparable to an Asus Zephyrus than on an MSI GT or GS model.

Touchpad

The clickpad is a bit smaller than the one on the Razer Blade Pro (13.3 x 7.5 cm vs. 13 x 8 cm). Feedback, however, is stronger and not as spongy on the Maingear.

Display

Our Vector Pro uses the same NE173QHM-NY2 IPS panel from BOE as found on the Schenker XMG Core 17 meaning both laptops share similar display attributes. Response times are fast with good brightness, contrast levels, and refresh rates to represent a high-end 1440p panel designed for gaming. BOE has a newer NE173QHM-NY3 panel with even faster response times and better colors as found on the Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 GX703 and so it's a bit disappointing that our Maingear is using an older version.

* ... smaller is better

Color space covers sRGB entirely and approximately 72 percent of AdobeRGB. Higher resolution 4K IPS panels tend to offer deeper colors albeit at the cost of slower refresh rates and response times.

Colors and grayscale are fairly accurate out of the box suggesting no end-user tinkering is really necessary. Nonetheless, our own calibration with an X-Rite colorimeter would improve average grayscale values just slightly across the board.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
12 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 6.8 ms rise
↘ 5.2 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 26 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey

The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 24 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18071 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is better than on most 17.3-inch gaming laptops since maximum brightness is closer to 400 nits instead of the usual 300 nits. You'll still want to avoid direct sunlight, however, or else the screen will wash out.

Performance

The Maingear squeezes in a 165 W GeForce RTX 3080 GPU despite its compact design to be similar to the GPU as found on the thicker Schenker XMG Ultra 17 in terms of target TGP. Resizable Bar, Dynamic Boost 2.0, and WhisperMode 2.0 are all supported while Advanced Optimus and internal G-Sync are not. Thus, a manual switch is available via the Maingear NODE Control Center software to toggle between dGPU mode (i.e., full GPU performance mode) or Optimus mode. We recommend users become familiar with this software as many system-specific settings and LED features are toggled here.

Our system was set to Turbo mode and dGPU mode prior to running any performance benchmarks below for the highest possible scores.

 

Processor

CPU performance is excellent and where we expect it to be relative to other laptops equipped with the same processor. Users upgrading from an older Core i7-10750H or Core i7-10875H laptop will see a performance boost of roughly 40 percent and 20 percent, respectively. The competing Ryzen 7 5800H is slightly faster in multi-threaded loads while being slightly slower in single-threaded loads than our Core i7-11800H.

Storage Devices

Our test unit comes with a Samsung PM9A1 which is the manufacturer's premier PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD for consumers. Sequential read and write rates approach 7000 MB/s and 5200 MB/s, respectively, to be about 2x faster than on the Samsung PM981a series commonly found on previous generation flagship laptops.

GPU Performance

Graphics performance falls short by around 15 percent when compared to the Schenker Ultra 17 even though each system comes with a 165 W TGP GeForce RTX 3080. A "proper" desktop RTX 3080 can perform anywhere between 40 to 60 percent faster than our mobile version. Even so, our GPU is about where we expect it to be after testing over 30 RTX 3080 laptops thus far.

Emissions

System Noise

Fan noise is a mixed bag. When idling on desktop or web browsing, fan noise is generally quiet topping out at only 28.7 dB(A) against a silent background of 23.8 dB(A). When running the first benchmark scene of 3DMark 06, however, fan noise would boost to as high as 38 dB(A) in the middle of the scene before falling back down to 28.7 dB(A) towards the end. It's recommended to run on Office mode instead of Turbo mode to keep the fans from pulsing as frequently.

Fan noise when gaming is very loud at almost 56 dB(A) to be distracting if not wearing headphones. Enabling Fan Boost will set the fans to their maximum of 56 dB(A) regardless of processing load, but users will reach this ceiling anyway when gaming regardless of the Fan Boost setting.

Temperature

Surface temperatures are warmest toward the center of the keyboard while being much cooler on the WASD keys, numpad, and palm rests. Such a distribution is desirable when gaming since fingers and palms are more likely to rest on these cooler areas than anywhere on the keyboard center. We're able to measure a hot spot of over 53 C on the "J" key when gaming compared to just 26 C on the "W" key where cool air is being pulled in.

Stress Test

When stressed with Prime95, the CPU would boost to 4.1 GHz for the first few seconds before dropping and eventually fluctuating in the 3.2 GHz to 3.8 GHz range. Core temperature would reach just over 90 C compared to just 76 C on the Ryzen 7-powered Asus ROG Strix G17 G713QE when under similar conditions.

Running Witcher 3 is more representative of real-world gaming stress. Our CPU and GPU would stabilize at 80 C each with a stable TGP draw of 130 W instead of the target 165 W. This deficit could explain why our Maingear is behind the Schenker Ultra 17 even though both are equipped with 165 W RTX 3080 GPUs. Enabling Fan Boost mode does not appear to improve graphics performance or temperatures at all as the mode simply sets the fan RPM to maximum regardless of processing load.

Running on battery power will severely limit performance even when set to Turbo mode. A Fire Strike test on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of just 6513 and 2345 points, respectively, compared to 22907 and 29194 points when on mains.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Idling on desktop on Turbo mode and with the dGPU active can consume as much as 34 W compared to just 16 W when on Optimus mode. Thus, it's worth turning down the performance level if the extra power isn't needed.

Running Witcher 3 consumes slightly more power than on most other 17.3-inch GeForce RTX laptops to correlate with the faster graphics performance of our RTX 3080-powered Maingear. The Schenker XMG Core 17 with RTX 3060 graphics, for example, consumes about 15 percent less power while offering 25 percent slower graphics performance than our RTX 3080.

We're able to record a maximum draw of 257 W from the medium-sized (~15.3 x 7.4 x 3 cm) 240 W AC adapter when running Prime95 and FurMark simultaneously. Thus, the system could have potentially benefitted from a larger AC adapter with a higher power rating. Running games will thankfully not drain the battery when connected to an outlet unlike on some early Dell XPS 17 models.

Battery Life

Battery capacity is large at 91 Wh despite the thin chassis design. We're able to squeeze almost 7 hours of real-world WLAN use on a full charge when the system is set to iGPU mode.

Charging from empty to full capacity takes just under 2 hours.

In review: Maingear Vector Pro MG-VCP1. Test unit provided by Maingear

Can you really run a 165 W TGP GPU in a chassis the size of a Razer Blade Pro while weighing 500 grams less? Our tests show that the GPU in the Maingear will hover around 130 W instead when gaming which is about average when taking into account other RTX 3080 laptops currently in the market. If you want to maximize RTX 3080 performance, then you'll still have to consider bulkier laptops like the Schenker XMG Ultra 17.

The Maingear system could also use some improvements in regard to hinge rigidity. While its base feels sturdier than an Asus Zephyrus S, its hinges could have been stiffer for a better sense of longevity and quality. The fans are also very loud when gaming, but that is a trait shared between other ultrathin gaming laptops and so we can't uniquely fault the Vector Pro for its noise.

Powerful and surprisingly lightweight for the size. Some minor features have been omitted, but the core system, display, performance, and expandability are solid.

The long battery life and easy upgrades are worthy mentions for an ultrathin gaming laptop. For future models, we would love to see per-key RGB lighting, USB-C PD, louder speakers, and a webcam shutter all of which are becoming standard on higher-end models.
