> 3 dayDo some research before buying this product.... Comes with a lot of problems I tried everything in the book to try to keep it but just got old on the bright side the screen display is great until the screen started flickering

> 3 dayVery good plays most recent games at medium to ultra settings, battery life is about an hour but that’s to be expected because it’s so powerful. Best laptop at this price point. Comes with dual channel ram and a sata cable and a caddy ready for an ssd upgrade. Update! Had this for over 2 months and it is still going strong, just keep the fans on max so it does not overheat and keeps constant performance.

> 3 dayThis is an upgrade from the 2017s Helios 300, and a good upgrade it is. I got this during Black Friday sale, but been eyeing it for long time. Compare to other laptop with same specs, you are getting a better deal with this. Pretty much a full 144hz display and an overclock i7 chip. The build is quite strong and there is barely any form of flex on both keyboard and display. With the 1060 6GB, you are pretty much getting a full desktop power in a portable system. The keyboard isnt super bright, nor dim. Sadly you cant change the brightness level of the keyboard nor the colors. The track pad is right about the good size and uses standard windows drivers and it has soft clicks, same goes with the keyboard. Having an access to HDD upgrade and Ram upgrade is a great bonus as it is one screw away to upgrade.

> 3 dayI got it only for 2 games (Dota and Warframe) on high settings I still get lags, + it get so hot (keyboard) that you cant use it. oh and now some letters dont work you got to press very hard on it. My guess it got melt. You get only 2 hours of battery life when you even watch just the YouTube. And when you play on high settings even when laptop is plugged in, battery still dying faster. Also at 40% battery life (plugged in) overclocking GPU will shuts off and your (GTX1060) basically its not working so you cant play. I guess it just not for me. But it got very good sound quality.
