This laptop is awesome. $1k for an i7 with enough ram.I ran this against the MacBook pro with an i9 of the same year and it beat it by a good amount in real world testing on ubuntu at 1/4 the cost using all cores. This is because the heat management is so much better.I would recommend getting an NVMe of 1 TB because the storage is small.The screen bleed through is the only bad part with white spots near the edge when the screen is black, but this not noticable most of the time.The keyboard is decent with backlighting and feels far better than my MacBook pro. It also has not gotten stuck in the past year, so there is that.The button for the touch pad is really bad. You can only click it on the bottom side, so drag and drop is not easy.I would recommend replacing the thermal paste with liquid metal to lower the temps by 20 degrees. It stays in the 70s this way with full load. Trying to undervolt it further(factory undervolted) did not make much of a difference. The turbo does not make enough of a difference to justify the noise, but it's nice to have.If you want the most for your money, get this laptop.
