> 24 hourIve built and owned many computers, but I have never heard one this loud. The fans are actually louder than my dell R630 and R720XD poweredge servers!

> 24 hourGreat gaming laptop. This laptop has a great processor and graphics card that supports extreme graphics workloads and extremely fast FPS. The only downside is the laptop pretty hot extremely fast. I’ve tried different thermal paste’s and adding laptop fans to keep the temperatures low however they have yet to do so. After an hour or so of gaming my laptop heat throttles at 96 degrees which is too hot and can damage the components. Great specs but this mode gets too hot.

> 24 hourAdmittedly, we are not currently using this laptop for gaming, so this will be on the other aspects of the laptop.

> 24 hourNo issues, went to Best Buy and got a 500GB SSD, for 90 dollars, installed it with ease and made it the main game save file drive. Worth the price.

> 24 hourThis is a fantastic laptop. The keyboard is very fluid, the screen is beautiful, and the CPU & GPU are extremely fast. Im loving the load times with the NMVe SSD as well. I researched laptops on Reddit for a few months before deciding on this one. For the money this will beat out most laptops <$1500. PredatorSense is pretty cool too in that you can overclock the GPU and increase fan speed super easy. Only two downsides so far that I see are no mini display port meaning I can only pull 60hz on a second monitor with HDMI. Its also a little on the heavier side. Two very small cons to a overall amazing computer.

> 24 hourEven though it says it’s VR ready it has not ability to run an oculus rift/rift s. It has now DisplayPort/mini DisplayPort or a thunderbolt usb c. I learned this the hard way. I returned it so I don’t know how it holds up as a laptop otherwise
