Overall it is a great laptop with a lot of power on a slim form factor.
My previous gaming laptop was an ASUS which weight is 8.2 lbs, so I am very happy with this new very light gaming laptop.
Before get into what I like or dislike I want to mention that this laptop gets really hot, but it is something I was expecting and something that doesn't bother me at all, I am just wondering if this is going to be a durable laptop or not due to the heat inside could eventually damage some components. Also I am not going to take as good or bad the battery life since I know the graphic card demands a lot of power when playing games, so I am feeling good overall with the battery performance.
What I like:
-Screen, it looks amazing, no LCD bleeding that I can complaint
-Speed, it is really fast, booting, and loading games
-Keyboard, typing experience and steelseries software
-I/O has all that you could need, even LAN port
-Graphic and Processor Performance
-it is noisy but I don't think it is to loud for me.
What I dislike
-Finger print magnet
-lacking of automated drivers update, I have a PC with a MSI mother board, it has the live update software which monitors if there are new driver's version and I decide when to download them and install them, with this laptop there is nothing for that, you have to go to the website and check if there is a new version of any driver and figure it out when was the last time you updated it, so you can compare against the release date.
-Sound, sound is not that good, I have an Ipad Pro and it sounds a lot lot better than this laptop
-Hardware Upgrade, I like to be able to upgrade the stuff myself, but with this laptop I don't think I am going to upgrade anything (I wanted to add a second SSD) but as you probably know the mother board is flipped so in order to have access to the SSD slot you have to disconnect multiple connectors and I am not willing to do it.
-AC Power connector, I think it could be placed closer to a corner and not almost at the middle of the right side.
