However, some users experienced issues with battery life, keyboard backlight functionality, and occasional fan noise. While many found the build quality to be satisfactory and appreciated the upgradability options, concerns regarding heat generation were also noted.

    I was so excited for this computer since I’ve been looking for a gaming laptop which I could also use for studying purposes. The battery runs out pretty quickly, not only when playing games but also when giving it a general use. I’ve only been using it for a week and a half and sadly I’ll have to return it and get something else.
