An excellent laptop that gets the job done. I have an i7 vPro CPU paired with an A2000 graphics card. So far, I have used this laptop for CAD, watching videos(maximum video quality), talking on video calls, and playing video games(high/ultra high graphics. Haven't tried Minecraft though). Sometimes, all these at once. Safe to say it can handle just one like an absolute champion. Portions of this laptop can get hot, mainly the region where the screen connects to the keyboard. Even so, the palm rest and keys stay cool. The fans can get noisy if your doing anything intensive, but it isn't unbearable. On the subject of fans, when I first booted this laptop up, the first several minutes had the fans on(or near) maximum, so do be ready for that possibility.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Laptop provides serious performance for software development and machine learning. fingerprint sensor is not as responsive and usually takes a couple of tries to get it to work. Also, for a high end laptop, the webcam is comparatively of lower quality.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Light and portable powerhouse. Hits a sweet spot between business oriented laptops and much heavier workstations that are only relatively mobile. Has enough computational power for serious number-crunching, memory-demanding applications and moderately-intensive graphics applications.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This computer is great in every way but one: battery life. You should see it as something that you take the coffee shop. Don't expect the get through the day with this.
But it is fast, relatively light if you don't count the power brick, has great speakers, nice keyboard, the right ports etc.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best investment that I have made in owning a computer that can handle my data wrangling performance needs. If you are researching this computer you might as well buy it.
