A:AnswerNot that I have heard, but I will say this, it's possible that a certain batch had a bad run, so if you got both from the same store, I'd recommend exchanging it at another store to hopefully get one from a different manufacturing run. This laptop is absolutely excellent, and even though an experience like this can ruin a product in your eyes, it's worth the hassle to find you a good one!
A:AnswerI use this laptop for gaming and the screen size is just right. Obviously this will be a personal prefrence, but I think 15 inch is ideal for usablity and portability.
A:AnswerThis comes with a i5-7300HQ processor which is a very good processor but there are faster. A top of the line Intel laptop processor is the i7-7820HQ.which would cost hundreds more and is only available on more expensive models. Probably cost about 2k.
I bought this one for my daughter who is a mechanical engineer uses 3D CAD software and it does very well. Best Buy has a good return policy so if it doesn't run the software well you can return it.
A:AnswerThis is considered a "gaming" laptop because it has a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti video card. Other than that it is a better than average laptop.
i5-7300HQ is a very good processor but there are faster available for premium price.
8GB RAM is more than adequate for most users, it's easily expandable to 32 if needed.
256 GB SSD is fast and decent size hard drive especially since many people are storing more data in the cloud. Reviewers have mentioned it has a slot a second hard drive, I have not verified that.
A:AnswerNo. I brought to Hong Kong. Ran into trouble. Was told after talking to local tech help that it was likely a motherboard problem but that my warranty didn't cover parts and service call in Hong Kong. So, I waited until we were back in the US a month later. Needless to say, that didn't make my gamer very happy.
