Too many significant problems for the cost

This laptop has a number of both pro's and con's.
Pro's:
-Handles every gaming experience I've put it through so far with good graphics and typically runs smoothly
-Acceptable sound quality
-2TB storage is amazing quality of life
-Armory crate allows for a good amount of customization
-The keyboard feels good to type on
Con's:
-The biggest frustration with this laptop I am dealing with is a random and frequent black flickering of the screen. It's been present since I bought it, but it didn't seem severe originally and is much worse lately. This only occurs while playing games. I've tried everything I can with drivers, and brought it in to service with diagnostics, but it hasn't been fixed and doesn't show anything wrong. Likely a hardware issue and speaks to poorer quality and lack of QA. Hopefully an isolated incident, but it is my experience (same with on board mic).
-There is screen bleeding in the upper corners
-The computer runs well over 80C with fans set on max speed (fans are quite loud as well at max).
-No built-in camera - not critical, but my previous ASUS had it for cheaper.
-Low-quality on-board microphone requires a headset to voice chat unlike my previous ASUS laptop.
-For a laptop this size, one more USB port would be nice. I can plug in a cooling mat, wireless mouse and one other thing (typically a controller or flash drive) without an adapter.

To start off the computer never worked correctly, constant freezes and usb going in and out. I figured i would upgrade to a new style computer from the 2001 overclocked XEON I had. Huge mistake this laptop freezes, refuses to go to standby and USB devices refuse to come back on. The 2001 XEON has not failed me.

Awesome computer it does not overheat like my rog strix 15.6 and runs smoother with less fan noise as well. It’s an amazing performing computer just be aware that there’s a high demand and low supply of them so if you want one of these stay posted every day as I did.

Runs every game with ease, the laptop stays cool underload, has never gone over 85°C. If you can afford it and more importantly find it in stock i highly recommended getting this beast of a laptop
