This computer seems awesome so far. However, I hate the red lights. I used the omen command center, but there is no option to turn off the lights, only 'overclocking'  'network' and system vitals. I went on the windows store (first time for everything), I have the most updated version. There is no way in the bios to disable them either.  It specifically says in this amazon listing a checked box that says 'customizable lighting'. Well, there is no way to turn them off, how am I supposed to sleep at night without turning the computer off? I cannot put tape over the lighting because that will block the vents which are needed for the cooling. You have to think about the user at least a little bit. This is a very basic function. Not everyone wants to have a glowing red pulse in their studio apartment constantly, with no way to hide it or shut it off. I can't cover the computer, again because of the cooling issue.Aside from the lighting issue, which is MAJOR, if you uninstall the mcafee immediately, there is no other bloatware. It seems to run very well, and is reliable, but I've only had it a short time so far. I'm not sure I can live with constant red lights though so I might have to return it. I wish there was another option.
