Interesting I had the opposite reaction. Had an oryx pro at home for three years. It's a beast, plays games. Battery life wasn't great but I use it plugged in most of the the time. Has the Nvidia graphics which use a lot of power.
Liked it so much I got the pangolin all Amd laptop for work. Its been my daily driver for 4 months now and I really like it. Much better battery life than the oryx pro (integrated graphics). It's fast enough And has enough cores I did some long genomic software runs on it. It's much quieter under load the the oryx. This machine is great but they don't seem to sell it anymore. I'm pretty happy with the Amd notebook cpu and if I have to get another I probably would be looking for that.
