Arrived a week ahead of time so definitely an added star for that! Package arrived fully surrounded with ample bubble wrap to avoid shipping damage. The charging connector broke on the motherboard so I needed a replacement, the connector is soldered on the board so it was easier+cheaper to just replace the whole dang thing for me personally. Laptop tear down is a pain if you've never done it before, to get the motherboard out you have the disassemble almost the entire case and components including the screen! A couple videos on YouTube are 90% helpful but they don't show everything. Another key thing is the CPU+heatsink and GPU+heatsink has to be moved to the new board possibly requiring thermal paste... if you're careful enough though you might be able to unscrew it and remove as one piece for both the CPU and GPU. Just another FYI for Asus users, this and the OEM board support for RAM chips, two accessible from the back and one more from the keyboard side. The RAM chip in the "1" slot can only be swapped out after you take the whole thing apart so I upgraded it to a 1600mhz chip before reassembling (your board throttles everything down to the slowest chip so still at 1333mhz but I wanted to add memory and might swap out the other two chips later anyway).Read full review
