Very few reviews. From what I can gather, multiple people are concerned about the rigidity of the lid, but not a deal breaker. Good keyboard and trackpad. Cooling seems questionable. The fans and heatpipes look smaller than the competing omen 17, even though it's over 20mm deeper with its butt. Toasty CPU. Tinny speakers. Software is barebones and doesn't allow fan curves. I honestly like the look much more than the omen but too many compromises. Omen is also cheaper. I don't understand why they make these big ol' 15-16" and claim it's more portable when the dimensions are worse other than some width and the weight is the same. Small footprint is kind of the point for laptops under 17".

Yeah, Jarrod's tech says it's okay, but I opted for an ASUS instead.
