Satisfactory product quality, good price.

setup of i7 with RTX 2060. The cost is reasonable, in my opinion, for such a laptop. The monitor is this laptop's main perk and "killer feature"! I frequently work onsite for clients, so this is very convenient. The bezels are so thin that the laptop is roughly the same size as my previous 15" MacBookPro, but with a 17" screen size. I believe that the laptop is more useful for work than for gaming. Sometimes, opportunity pays off. The cursor buttons ruin everything even when the keyboard is good. It's not the first time I've had to deal with dirt on the screen and keyboard, which causes key prints to appear on the monitor. The same issue occurs with many laptops made by other manufacturers, and the solution is to wipe the screen and keyboard with special rags at least twice a week to prevent a layer of dirt from forming. Once this is done, there won't be any fingerprints on the screen. If you don't do this, the monitor cannot be cleaned of these traces. I don't bring the power supply with me, so the battery lasts for 8 hours in my circumstances.

Pros
  • The laptop has a great monitor and is the same size as my previous 15" Macbook, so it fits in all of my backpacks. Even though the sun is shining straight on the monitor through the window, the brightness is good. Superb metal case that is both bend- and crackle-free. The touchscreen is cozy. Because there are sockets in various locations from various sides, there is a charger available in any of the ports, which is quite useful. Superb mics, for instance, allowed me to communicate using Discord without the need for an extra headset because only I was audible to my interlocutors.
Cons
  • The laptop does lose power when it is under a lot of stress; as I was playing Tom Clancy's The Division, I observed that the battery indicator lit up after a while. Sound issues - occasionally, when any brief Windows notifications play, there is a "hoarseness" to the sound. The issue with keyboard and monitor contamination is that key prints will stay on the monitor if you don't regularly wash them down. Opening the lid is difficult because there is nothing to grab onto.
