Dusted off my keyboard and 1 key came off. Called warranty department to submit a claim and they would not cover.

Easy to set up, except for the horrible windows 11 which forces you into certain decisions. Performance is phenomenal. Heat is jetted out the sides for the most part but would not recommend laying the computer on your lab but on a metal/wood laptop cooling pad. This is a very heavy laptop.

Pros:

This laptop is an absolute Beast, it has amazing specifications, so there’s no point in going over that here. Anyone looking at these reviews is very serious and already knows what they are looking for. I can only go into what I feel is most important to me and I’m not a big gamer. I know, (not a gamer? What are you doing with this machine?) and I have a logical answer which is I am an amateur photographer and videographer with a high end digital camera for photos and videos plus a 4K video drone quadcopter (still learning, there’s a lot to learn here). This laptop is my photo and video dream machine, it can handle anything I need to do effortlessly and it has the speed and performance necessary to render effectively. Always wanted a machine for my photography needs and this one makes it. It offers excellent performance and has great battery life, making it ideal for gaming, photography and everyday use. It also has an impressive array of ports, allowing you to easily connect a variety of external devices and access your files and media quickly. It’s a little heavy, but that is to be expected with a computer of this caliber. The keyboard feel is better than any laptop I have had before and the backlit keys are very much appreciated. I have had computers with backlit keyboards, but this one really works well, I can see the keys from any angle easily.

Frequent Blue Screen Of Death. When I first purchased it, would happen perhaps once a week. After owning it 1 year, it now happens twice a day. BSOD doesnt appear to be related to high computer usage as it is just as likely to happen when idle or watching a YouTube video as it is while playing a game. Never had this problem with any other computer I have owned.

My son is into minecraft and a few other desktop games and this fit the bill. While its no $2500+ desktop gaming rig, it is perfect for our needs. It is a lot bigger than I thought based on the photos. It is solid too. I set him up on his desk with an extra monitor and hes as happy as can be. Should bring plenty of years of joy.

Very good and capable computer, but the high temps make me wonder how this piece of kit will be after 3-4 years in a power users hands. Guess we shall see.

I will make this plain and simple. For those of you who are looking for something where you can just get right into gaming with high/ultra settings with great FPS without breaking the bank then this is the laptop for you. Very fast boot times, very little bloatware and easy to set up. This thing will run all of your games either on high or ultra settings by default if that is what you prefer. I recommend buying a cooling pad preferably the one from kootec. I have no issue with temps at all. The cooling pad keeps things cool. But overall the performance this thing delivers for its price is awesome.

Has everything it should, except it came with Windows 11, not 10, a huge kick in the gut

Very nice for gaming and has an RTX graphics card, good for 3D software applications like Blender or Maya.
