QUALITY & DESIGN


The screen can be flexed a little and there is a little flexing observed while typing. Laptop overall looks very nice not too bulky. It has an average built not too bad but not too great as well.

Noise:

fans are a bit loud but not too disturbing. The use of headphones while gaming can eliminate it.

Temperature:

The left hand side of the keyboard would get a bit warm but not uncomfortably warm. However, that vent is getting rid of hot air as you cannot place your fingers over the edge. The VGA port gets hot enough to actually burn your fingers , so it is better to avoid touching it. All in all l the cooling is adequate under all loads and not unbearable loads, but getting a cooling pad is recommended for added peace of mind.

Weight:

The laptop has dimensions 10.59 x 14.92 x 1.14 inches and weighs 5.5 pounds which makes the laptop light enough to carry around easily.
