Portable Gaming Beast (The new version of this notebook will be released in February/March!)

NOTE. This model will soon be obsolete as a new version will be released in February/March 2021. I wanted to upgrade from my aging 2015 Macbook Pro to a Windows laptop that could play modern AAA games and also easily multitask. I got the spec with RTX 2060 max q design with 120hz pros-1 screen. If you value portability and sleek looks, this laptop is for you2. Everything is pretty fast from loading to opening apps, but that's to be expected from this laptop's powerful AMD processor3. I've only tried one game (Batman Arkham Knight) and it works fine.4. If privacy is your thing, this laptop doesn't have a built-in webcam, which could be a bonus. The keyboard is great, I would like to write reports/essays on it.6. The speakers are decent and the FHD screen does the trick. Cons: 1. Comes with great power. much heat? A sacrifice to this laptop's sleek appearance is that the keyboard area and above can get very hot during gaming (when plugged in, of course). However, I do use a controller to play, but I can imagine that playing with a laptop keyboard can be quite annoying. The fans are also quite loud when gaming, but I can't hear it when I have headphones2. It seems that there are highlights in the bottom corners of my model's screen, but nothing critical3. The lack of a webcam can be a handicap if you want to work with this laptop4. The lid of the laptop is a little wobbly, this is the only part of the laptop that appears to be of poor quality. Summary: When looking for a new laptop I was looking for portability, performance, and sleek design, and the G14 offers all of that at a reasonable price. Also, my laptop is mostly connected to the network, so I'm not sure about the battery life. If you don't care about portability, you can opt for another laptop with a thicker chassis that offers better cooling and has a webcam.
