Rated 5 out of 5

Great portable machine

I bought this for light gaming and staying productive on the road. This machine performs quite well - and don't have many issues with thermal throttling when using the machine in Comfort mode (configured using the manufacturer's control center software). I've been able to play a variety of games - although I have to lower the settings on some games, they're still just as fun, and I love the machine is so portable and easy to travel with. The included adapter is quite small compared to other Windows machines I've used too. Although the machine is light, I feel it's actually built quite well - the body is metal. I wish there was an option to have a higher capacity SSD without getting the 4K screen. The screen is good, but I would have liked a slightly higher resolution for daily tasks, as having a sharper font would make text much easier on the eyes (like the retina or other high-pixel density displays you see out there today).

Close but not perfect

Great laptop considering how freaking powerful it is for the size/weight. The only caveat is its ability to not thermal throttle when both the cpu and gpu are being used. The solution is to undervolt each but you shouldn't have to do that out of the box right?
