Amazing Computer

I love this computer! Looks awesome and it is a powerhouse. I am a Mac guy so this is strong praise for a PC.
Been having some issues loading a couple websites, I’ll have to figure that out.
Everything else this handles like a champ, very happy. Battery life isn’t that great but what do you expect with a beast like this.
Like another review I was a little concerned that I would never receive this PC but glad I hung in there.

Y40

This pc looks even better in person. Performance is amazing, build quality is legit, and I couldn’t be happier with it!

blazing fast

it seems much much faster than my other laptops so i cant complain, and im not a gamer so there's no reason for me to send a picture of my laptop just sitting on a desk lo

Samsung 9100 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD

These SSDs are everything they advertise and more. Super fast and durable. Not sure what to say about an SSD card in a laptop other than it gives me the speed and flexibility to do my work and play my games. It’s versatile and durable. Highly recommend.

Thermal Grizzley Kryonaut

Wow! This stuff is amazing. I like to play heavily modded games and my laptop tends to get really warm…sometimes hot to the touch. Not with the Grizzley Kryonaut. Within seconds, my laptop cools to pre-boot up temps. Highly recommend this in your machine.
