I purchased this laptop approx 6 months ago. Overall I do enjoy it.  It does run pretty hot after a short while of gaming and you'll feel it through the keyboard.  I purchased a cooling pad for it anticipating this, and glad I did.  It's a fast laptop with lots of power, however I can't understand why Windows 10 Home version was installed?  Extremely cheap way to go on manufacturing part.  The 144Hz monitor is nice looking, but shouldn't have been a strong selling point as I allowed it to be.  Battery life is pretty bad as most laptops are, but I did expect better than it is...and I don't game on battery power.Overall, I give this laptop a B+...8 MONTH UPDATE::  This has been by far the worse laptop I've bought.  6 months after purchase, the laptop did not want to start, and we had to contact support over this.  Now at the 9 month mark, even worse.  I really don't use this laptop all that much, I don't visit unscrupulous/shady websites (90% of the time it is not even connected).  I do game on the laptop, but not online. (I live on a 40 acre ranch approx. 1 1/2 hour outside of the city and no internet, cell phone service is pretty horrible too).  Not really sure what the problem is, and I don't expect the company to fix it.  I'll learn my lesson....hopefully someone else does too, before...
