The QC with this laptop is very YMMV. I seemed to have slightly lucked out. I have minor backlight bleed that is un-noticeable in person that a camera would absolutely make worse and mainly just IPS glow. That said, other people have it worse than I do and you can find those testimonies just searching on Google.
If I really wanted a gaming laptop, I definitely would have opted for something thicker and had more airflow. I DEFINITELY would have opted for a Ryzen system but sucks for me that my workflow requires Intel.
I knew what I was going to get going into buying this laptop (It also didnt help that I watched Jarrod, Matthew Moniz, and Dave2D talk about this laptop and thought, "This is exactly what I'm looking for"). I needed a thin and light laptop with a Intel chip, moderately decent life off the charger (I am perfectly fine with USB PD charging), and can game with decent framerates if I wanted to. For the most part, I got that. I also sprang for Geek Squad 3 year considering the stories I've heard about Zephyrus QC. Personally I'm happy, but I'm not blind to the fact that other people have had a different experience than me.
Advice: $1300 is a killer price for a thin and light gaming laptop with these specs. That said, if you can find it in-store, get it and abuse (read: okay, not really abuse but more so use it liberally) the replacement policy. You will never know if you lost the QC lottery in some regard whether it be temps, IPS bleed, or speakers popping (I don't have that at all so I can't tell you what it may sound like).
