On why my last review was 2 stars and now I've upgraded it to 4 stars. Defect: When working with graphics and in games, for some reason, once a month, the computer began to go into endless reboots with a blue screen. Diagnostics by official software did not lead to anything. On graphics tests, the laptop also went into reboot. I recorded the manifestation of the defect on video, took the laptop to the warranty service. There for a long period they could not reproduce it, I provided video recordings (screens) with the appearance of a defect. About a month later, I was informed that they found a malfunction in the HDD. I was surprised, I did not find a causal relationship: the operating system was on a working native SSD, except that there were games on the HDD. How could a HDD malfunction cause a blue screen when the laptop starts to heat up in games and when working with 3D? However, the service center did not find any other defects, they extended my warranty by 45 days, and I set out to reproduce the defect. But I couldn't reproduce it. Works properly. Assumptions: the defect manifested itself only when the HDD was heated, which could only occur during games or other GPU load. For what reason the OS crashed with a BSOD due to HDD heating - I do not know, but it may have been due to the installation of Microsoft games and the XBOX-Live service on the HDD, and this partly relates to the OS file system. One way or another, with difficulty, not immediately, but the defect was found by the employees of the service center. Special thanks to them for this, because they could complete the check without getting to the bottom of the matter in the first days, but decided to act responsibly. The laptop has been running for half a year now without a single problem. Yes, it still heats up. But there's nothing to be done about it. But there were no other defects. Given this, I rate the laptop a solid 4+. He passed the test of Blender and Maya, Cyberpunk and RDR2 - he did it. I don't give it 5 stars only because of the weak cooling system and the lack of flexible settings for coolers. Below I throw a photo of the laptop after a year of operation and a screen of an old review.
