Wonderful Laptop with a really amazing keyboard!
I've only had this laptop for a day but I can already tell I will love it as long as it lasts. Pros: >The keyboard is amazing!! It even has a numpad and most don't. >3 usb ports! My last laptop only had two and that was annoying. >Runs my games and other programs smooth and fluid. Cons: >Speakers are terrible... but this is true with almost all laptops. >The expansion m.2 SSD slot had no screw and was faced awkwardly. As for the rest, well the screen is pretty good, I've had better but it isn't bad at all. Temps have been great, but I do use a cooling pad. and I've noticed some heat near my fingers as I played, but not enough to annoy me yet. Overall, it has far exceeded my expectations and I am very impressed.
