Did you decide in the end ? Personally I deliberated real deep between all 3 (vapor) and finally settled for apex 15x.

Can you share what makes you decide on the APEX 15X in the end? I am currently deciding between APEX 15X and Vapor 15X now as well.

Deciding factor was 1. Battery size 2. Chassis material.

Apex has a 90ish whr batt vs 60ish on vapor.
Apex has a allu alloy chassis with allu lcd cover and palm rest. Vapor has magnesium chassis. Latter has been said to feel plasticky.

On that end though, vapor is slimmer and lighter.

I went with the forge 15x. I dont believe I will ever game whilst I'm using the battery so for me the performance and price was just too good.

This are the specs I went with :

Bought and used it for almost 2 months for the Vapor 15X.

And can say for sure, unless you are only into normal office work, you can get the Vapor 15X. Else if, for gaming, get Apex 15 series.

Main reason is because the keyboard layout and feels for the Vapor 15X leans more towards typing, not the typical mechanical KB that you use for your gaming rig, especially the spacing between each key is narrow and the feels when pressing.

Not to say that Vapor 15X can't handle hardcore game, but be prepare to feel the heat (personally for mine).

Below are the temperature when I played apex legend on mid quality setting with CPU frequency at 5.1 Ghz (stock).

Even though the Tj Max is 100 degree C, I still feel that 90 degree above is just too much.

As for their control panel, it is very limited as you can only set the fan to 60% consistently.
