I was struggling to find a "classy" gaming laptop that did not look like some 12 year old's toy spaceship, and then came along this Deal of the Day. Now thinking about it, I have literally wasted more money on microtransactions in video games (that 12 year olds play), than I paid for this beautiful and rugged notebook. The construction feels like metal (nice and cool to the touch) and the lighting on the back is also cool. Like the overall design, it is not too flashy but it does stand out from other pleb laptops. I always set my laptops to do nothing when I close the lid, and this also means that you can walk around with the backlight on when the laptop is closed. I think that I might have seen some complaints about the audio, but it sounds great to me. The keys and touchpad are awesome. Low travel on both, and a very convenient fingerprint reader included on the touchpad. I didn't realize how much I would use it. People complain about the webcam, but I like the fact that it has a slide blocker. The positioning seems fine to me also. The real star is the display/graphics here. Compared to all of my other displays, this one stands out clearly because it is so vibrant, details, and easy on the eyes. I have horrible vision so this is a big deal for me. The screen isn't quite matte, but it also is not very reflective so glare is not an issue unless you are outdoors in the sun, maybe. You can easily set the color/brightness of the keys with the included software. My only complaint is the bundled AI widget software. It is not clear what it does, and after researching it I don't think that I want to use it because it regularly reports data from your computer. I removed it and the laptop is running fine, although maybe a bit louder/more fan activity. It is supposed to learn your habits and maximize performance somehow, but I don't buy it.Update 11/26/21:This laptop is still holding up really well and it was a great purchase / awesome sale.
