Excellent unit
Laptop is powerful and performs very well. Started up several games and ran on ultra with solid frame rates. The power in such a light laptop is nuts. The drawback is the fan noise. I don't have numbers or testing, but it's much higher pitched compared to my old 2014 r9 m17. I don't know if that's due to fan size, rpm, or both, but it's very noticeable. Also, it runs hot enough that it can get uncomfortable on the lap while gaming. I appreciate the power, but it's counter intuitive to have it less lap useable to make it lighter and more lap useable.
That being said, this was a great deal and I'm happy with the perks. I'll wear headphones more often then not and will adapt. Hard to put this much power in a small package and not have drawbacks. If I wanted less power and more portable, I would have bought a mac.
