    Laptop doesn't wake up sometimes from sleep. Disabled the pci express in power management seems to solve that problem. But problem still happens when I shut it down completely.. would recommend anybody who buys this too test it before leaving the store. Hard to believe they're selling this with a known problem that been happening for years

    I have tried 4 of these. exchanged and finally returned. 1st - broken space bar, left speaker louder 2nd - broken speakers causing white noise when not in use 3rd - high pitched noise (not coil whine) coming from fans 4th - high pitched noise (not coil whine) coming from fans This might be a sound that only certain people can hear, but let me tell you, its EAR PIERCING. Can even be heard with headphones on. It's not coil whine, as the sound gets louder with the fans. Its just a bad design that pushes the air flow through small holes causing the worst noise you can ever imagine. if the noise doesnt bother you, its a good computer, just watch for build quality like speakers, spacebar, and trackpad issues.

    I built my own gaming rig about 10 years ago. Sadly I never updated its hardware. BUT this compared to my desktop, well, it’s light years ahead of it (of course!) I was so stoked to get this gaming laptop! When I took it out of the box, I loved the coated wrist surface. It helps with fingerprints and feels good with my arms resting on it. I was surprised at how light it was for a gaming machine. It weighs about the same as my work laptop. The display is gorgeous! Streaming movies or games there is always sharp detail no matter how fast the motion with the 144 refresh rate. Color is crisp and bright. The display size is perfect. The lid is slightly beveled, the lower part a bit thicker than the top but it opens and closes with ease and stays in place without issue. The graphics card, NVIDIA RTX3050Ti graphics with 4GB DDR6 is sufficient for my casual gaming needs. I don’t play the AAA plus games that are super graphic intensive. My husband plays Flight Simulator X and this was the smoothest I’ve ever seen that game run. We’re soon going to be getting the new Flight sim. This graphics card is on the lower end, but can’t wait to see the graphics of that game. The keyboard almost has a mechanical feel with smaller presses. It’s nice. I like the taller ridges on the f and j keys for finding the “home” position. I like the RGB lighting as well. I’ve had no issues with the keyboard. Occasionally, when typing, my palm would tap the touchpad which would move my cursor, but then that happens on other laptops as well. The SSD is fast if a bit small for a gaming machine. At 512 GB, it’s not large enough to download a lot of games to the laptop. You’ll need an external drive but with the Thunderbolt port 4, you should have plenty of speeds for any game that can run off an external drive. The 16 GB Ram really is minimum for a gaming machine. It handled everything I dished at it. Sound is great, it has a surround sound feel. It’s fairly loud but could be louder. Even loud (I only went to 96) music was crisp and clear. The camera is ok. I wish the camera had a slide cover to disable when not being used. Network connectivity was fast with either ethernet or wifi. I never had any issues with either. The fingerprint reader didn’t always recognize my fingerprint, but by the 2nd or third time, I was logged in. All in all I am very happy with this laptop and would absolutely recommend it!
