Quality PC, super fast, was set up as ordered. Performance is excellent!
I wish the letters, etc. on the keyboard were READABLE without all the background lighting and the keyboard’s background lighting is a huge distraction. But, I use a separate keyboard so that’s less of a problem. NB: there are plenty of power users that like a gaming laptop for its power but who are not gamers.
Super easy purchase, fast delivery! Biggest problem was picking what I wanted, there were so many options!
Great laptop! I had to reformat though. Since Microsoft isn’t with the program and support is limited on windows for a gen 5 SSD IT MAKES REFORMATTING A NIGHTMARE! but XOTIC did a great job assembling it! Always happy with them.
Very powerful machine and surprisingly quiet even under load.
Pros:
1. Extremely Fast
2. Beautiful Screen
3. Solid Construction
4. Cooling design is well implemented and quiet under load
Cons:
1. Screen Flicker issue when using the iGPU. Had to switch to the 4070 only to resolve the issue. This appears to be a known issue with this laptop.
2. Included MediaTek WiFi adapter is lackluster at best. It kept disconnecting and even when connected, ran at terrible speeds. Ended up replacing with an Intel AX210 which corrected the issue.
3. The keyboard and wrist rest is a smudge and fingerprint magnet.
For the price, I am disappointed with some of the issues that I have experienced with this laptop.
