The hardware seems to be pretty well designed and it plays various games pretty well. I don't mind that the battery life isn't great, as I just wanted a gaming PC that is moderately portable.But I started noticing that the laptop would light up at weird times, and it wouldn't fully boot when it was plugged in. Not a big deal, as I could unplug it, control-alt-delete, and it would boot fine.Eventually I noticed that some of the LEDs were flashing and when I went to open it and see what was going on, it was incredibly hot to the touch. The fans were not on. I powered it on and got the fans going and it cooled down. This happened a couple times and generally I kept it unplugged and powered off, to avoid this weird overheat-while-sleeping issue. I tried upgrading the OS and BIOS to see if it would fix the issue, but it didn't seem to.Eventually, it got stuck in the overheating state for some amount of time while I wasn't around. I'm assuming it was for hours, and when I tried to power it on, it couldn't see the internal disk, so it wouldn't boot.I booted with a Linux USB drive and it seems that the memory and CPU are fine, but Linux couldn't see the boot disk, either. I just tried replacing the internal disk to see if that would fix it, but the system doesn't see that disk, either, so I'm thinking that it wasn't (just) the disk that burned out, but probably a chip or cable running to the disk.
