This has been a solid gaming laptop so far! I absolutely love the build quality. Looks super sleek and feels premium. Recommend upgrading the RAM to at least 32GB. It never got completely maxed out at 16gb, but I did notice that more demanding games began to run a little smoother after i upgraded the RAM. Thermals are overall good. It can run a little hot with the CPU ‘boost’ on, but I’ve found that I never really need to have it on for games to run smoothly. Battery life is TERRIBLE, but that’s to be expected with the majority of gaming laptops. And if you’re worried about battery bloating, there is a battery charge limit setting that I recommend you use so it’s not fully charged all the time (From what I understand, it’s only on models 2022 or newer, i.e. this one definitely has it!) The QHD panel is amazing and the brightness is great in most settings as long as you’re not outside in direct sunlight. The speakers surprised me with how loud they can get. Sound quality I would say is pretty good for a laptop (perfect for watching videos, but i prefer headphones for games) Overall very happy with this purchase!

It's the best gaming laptop I've ever had. I like that it's made of black aluminum. It has a very good resolution.

Great laptop its sleek design looks amazing the keyboard is nice but i find the touchpad gets finicky when im typing because my wrist sit on the outer edges of the touchpad. The keyboard itself isnt my favorite, it feels unnatural to hold the shift key. The battery life can be pretty decent but you have to change a ton of settings. I had read that it wasnt very bright but its not bad but so its not an issue/dealbreaker for me. It also gets finger prints easily
