Average Joe user here. Its been a while since I’ve had this laptop now. Have had no boot issues, no screen flickering, nothing deal breaking/heart breaking.
For gaming, this is a wonderful piece of tech. I don’t stress it too much, tbh. I run Destiny 2 on this at 1080, 120fps.
Ghosting and tearing isn’t a big issue, nothing detracts from the visual experience. Screen brightness is great, no issues using in a well-lit room but avoid direct sunlight on the screen. Audio, while not the best, will not bother you at all. I work as a sound engineer and audio quality is just fine for the average consumer.
Keystrokes may take a little getting used to, slightly different feel and feedback if you’re used to traditional keyboards. I hook it up to a mechanical keyboard most times so not an issue. Trackpad is wide and pretty accurate. Built-in microphone works surprisingly well. Tested on Discord chat and no one had issue with it. Sat about two feet away from the laptop and clarity was fine.
WiFi is fantastic. Had a few hiccups in the beginning but updating all drivers seems to have smoothed out the issues.
So, Cons. Some of this is personal preference, so keep that in mind.
Temps. Obviously, as a laptop, thermals are an issue. Keep this puppy elevated and the underside fans completely free of obstruction. The slight elevation from the lid is not enough. At its hottest, touching the keyboard felt like a warm seatbelt buckle. Ensure your room has good airflow and is relatively cool. I experimented with ambient temperature by blasting AC in my room to drop it to around 67F. I ran games nonstop for two hours and the laptop was only pleasantly warm at the end of that session (non-stop PvP, Gambit, Strikes, etc for fellow Guardians). If you keep your airflow and temps in the room good, no real problems.
Fans are LOUD. Maybe change the curve/profile in Armoury Crate but they are loud and spin up immediately. Again, this is going to be tied directly to ambient room temperature. They spin up opening Chrome browsers but stay low db until something graphics intensive kicks in. Yes it’s a con but they do a good job keeping thermals in check if you pay attention to airflow and ambient temperature.
There’s this weird snapping noise that comes from the speakers every once in a while. An hour or two in between? While not deal breaking, I sometimes worry if the speakers will blow out whenever I hear it.
Color reproduction is okay at best. For the most part an average joe like me won’t really be bothered by it but if you want to use it for photo/video editing be aware that colors seem slightly washed out/low contrast/under saturated. It’s not terrible but something to keep in mind.
Available ports. I am slightly inconvenienced by the few choices available. A docking station or USB-C hub with additional ports will solve most of those problems.
Touch ID/Log in. It’s.....finicky at best. I’ve reset my fingerprint on it several times since it has an extremely hard time recognizing me. I’ve had best results by only gently laying my finger on the button after saving my fingerprint.
Wishes: I so desperately wish it had an Ethernet port but WiFi is very very reliable so far. No latency issues in gaming or Discord chatting. Built in camera for video conferencing would have been nice but wholly unnecessary. Wish I realized this model doesn’t have the AniMe Matrix LEDs. Just an aesthetic choice, really. No detractions.
Overall: great for the average Joe who does not demand much from a portable gaming rig/work station. Sleek, modern, lightweight, powerful. The pros vastly outweigh the cons imo. I recommend changing the battery profile to hold charging at 60% or 80% if it will spend most days tethered to the charging cable. Make sure you only have the graphics card take over for specific applications (games, etc).
Don’t watch p*rn or whatever on it and get viruses. You’ll hate yourself. Treat this piece of hardware kindly and keep it for the long run.

Realtime audio latency? Writing, tracking, mixing.
July 26, 2020
I’ve been looking for someone with experience on this laptop who can comment on Realtime audio latency work. I would be using this for on the go writing, tracking and rough mixing.
I see you work in audio so I’m hoping you have some feedback on this aspect. 95% of laptops have horrible latency.
