Hexus have a review of the Asus ROG Strix GL702ZC, a high end gaming laptop which features the 16-thread Ryzen 7 1700 CPU... yes, a desktop chip in a laptop:

Having witnessed AMD shake up the desktop CPU landscape with the introduction of its Ryzen processor family, we've been itching to see how the company will fare in the laptop space with Ryzen Mobile. AMD hasn't held a meaningful slice of the mobile market for quite some time, and though the initial signs are positive, it remains to be seen whether or not Ryzen technology will be utilised in laptops that today's consumers actually want.

Hoping to get a jump on the competition, Asus isn't even waiting for Ryzen Mobile, and is instead offering something different to the established Intel crop in the form of the ROG Strix GL702ZC. At first glance it looks a familiar machine - similar chassis have been employed by other models in the ROG Strix range - but the GL702ZC sets itself apart by being an all-AMD affair.

65W just for the CPU alone :eek:. That is going to burn through power!
