Buggy, terrible battery, loud fans
First off, I'd say this is not worth the cost. It may be powerful, fast, and have a beautiful display. But, the cooling is terrible unless you want your fans to overpower the speakers in Db. Running any type of high load immediately sky rockets the temps, but you have to manually change the fan speeds... Also the battery last for about an hour, within a month of owning. Not to mention if the computer is charging while your using it, & you go to unplug it (or vice versa). The screen goes black while the only fix is turning it off and back on. This laptop is riddled with other bugs & wouldn't recommend anyone buying it.

Not ideal
Really bulky and terrible battery life. The 4k is great but even if you get the 3080 ti gpu you still can’t really game on it because of the 60hz refresh rate. It would be ideal for creators but MacBooks are cheaper, better build quality and honestly preform better. Either get a reall gaming laptop or a real creator laptop but this one is just an odd mix of both that only kinda works
