My first 1.5K plus $$$$ laptop.  I'm wowed by the screen clarity and resolution.  No way is this a light weight laptop......:)  I'm not a gamer, so maybe it fits that category?.....Every thing works as it should and have no major complaints other than the charging brick.  Talk about serious heavy duty flashback to the 90's.  I like that it's a tank and will probably last 30 years.....seriously though there's much lighter options.....It does get quite warm when charging, so I have to be mindful of where I place it.  I'm getting about 4-6 hrs on the battery, so cut the claimed use in half and you'll be in the ballpark.  One minor nit pik that's just going away is the smell.  You know when you get a new piece of electronic equipment that fresh electronic smell when you open the packing for the first time  ahhhhh......:)  Opening this laptop I received a moldy closet smell that's just going away after 6 weeks of use.  I had to throw away the box and the packing sleeves right away.  They stunk something awful.  Other than the few minor nits, it's an exceptional laptop so far.  Easy to setup, the screen is gorgeous.  Boots fairly fast.  I don't push it with gaming, so have only had the fan come on a few times and hardly notice that.  I haven't installed the extra SSD drive I purchased.  The bottom screws are tiny T-6, so had to order a tool kit as I didn't have a torx driver that small.  That should take me 5 mins, so not anticipating any problems.
