The power supply problems sound bad, but short battery life is the rule on gaming laptops.

Gaming laptops ultimately aren't really meant to be used on the run. The battery seems more "if you gotta swap outlets, go for it" level (I say as someone who routinely buys cheap gaming laptops).

I'm most often impressed that I was able to play for 30-45 mins before a warning when the power supply came loose from one without me noticing, but also always remark, "Oh, I was using the battery. That's why performance stunk" at the same time.

If you're dreaming of writing the great American novel at Starbucks, this is not the droid you're looking for…

I got this last year in October for $446.99 open boxed. Super high value computer.

My only complain is its lack of a full featured USB-C port, as well as its lack of advanced video output capability. (limited by the HDMI 2.0)

I got this open box last fall from a sd post and it's been great. Really solidly built laptop. Upgradable storage as well.

yep while some may prefer to pay the extra $90 to get brand new, at this price range, it's a fairly significant savings (15%) especially if you can't tell the difference between the open box and new. you can use that savings to throw in more ram and/or upgrade your ssd.

Just match the grade it has DDR4- 8gb 3200mhz.
If it has a slot for another SSD, I say add another one. If not get a 1tb and move everything to it.
256gb is tiny for modern games.

Reviews say it's all mostly plastic. Another review says that thermals are good.
