Snagged this on Prime Day and so glad I did. I was coming from a desktop that was speced at gen 2 i5, 16gb ram and 1tb HDD. So this is a big difference. The boot up time is so fast! IMy favorite part is the light up keys. Many different customizations with them. Build quality feels good. It is plastic but doesnt feel overly cheap. We shall see how it holds up over time. Feels pretty lightweight, so lap fatigue should be an issue.Biggest downfall is definitely the battery life, it goes down pretty quickly but also charges up pretty fast. Laptop arrived dead and when I plugged it in it seemed like 20 min it was at 60%.I not much into heavy gaming so i cant really comment on that. Screen seem to get pretty bright and the colors pop nicely.  Overall I like it. I would recommend it if youre looking at the $1000-$1500 range.
