This laptop is great! Granted I was using an eight year old laptop, so anything would have been an upgrade to me. Right out of the box I could play games I wanted to play, and the boot time is only a minute at max. The screen is crystal clear and the sound is pretty decent as well. The laptop even let's you overclock the GPU and I think CPU from an interface that's preinstalled. (I've only used it twice at the time of writing this)Some thing I didnt like are even at low temperatures there is a fan whine that can be slightly annoying at times. It's almost like that mosquito sound that older people cant hear. The keyboard layout is kind of tight so when using the WASD and you have big hands, using your pinky to press and hold shift while using the space bar to jump can be challenging. For me the keyboard will take some getting used to because they even shortened the 0 key in the number pad and put the right arrow under the 1 number pad. If I remember (or can) I'll try to add some pictures.When playing Rust on good graphics the fans throttled pretty high but it was less than if you put the fans on max. I know its expected as it's a laptop and mid tier, but I figured I'd let you all know.
