    "If I unplug it from the outlet, it only gives a little over an hour of use which I find to be extremely low. That said, this is the first time I have purchased a laptop for home use, but i'm used to my work laptops having 2 almost 3 hours of use on battery power, so was a little sad at this. ...After a month of ownership, I can truthfully say this PC checks all the boxes for gaming performance and most general use. It is fast as my desktops booting and performance in games comes close. "

    "NASA Uses These...The tall screen helps immensely with productivity and works surprisingly amazing for gaming. It's no wonder NASA uses supercomputers for when they forget to charge their G16's!...The only other possible nitpick I have so far is that the placement of the USB ports is a bit annoying. I use a USB wired mouse, and the only available USB ports for the mouse are on the back of the laptop (which I use for a USB microphone), and to the right (which is where I place my mouse, meaning my hand runs into the plug a lot).
