I purchased this laptop and have owned it for about 5 weeks. Pros: The laptop is fast, i mean fast. I can run multiple desktops with no issue and the computer hardly breaks a sweat. The full 1060 card is an extremely nice addition. If you notice this laptop has specs of competitors that are $300-1000 more in price. I read a review on another site where the customer noted "the processor is not fast." Obviously some non computer savvy consumer. This has the 8750h which is standard on all i7 gaming laptops and also one of the fastest processors on the market. Sleek/sleeper design- This laptop doesnt grab attention, im 35 i cant carry a laptop to work that has dragons and rgb lighting all over it. You can tell the engineers wanted to make the device easily mod-able. I replaced the 1tb hdd with a 1tb ssd and it was very easy to do, even someone with no experience with laptop disassembly can do it. After removing the 10 or 13 screws from the bottom, you have easy access to all the components. A repaste job, ram/hdd/wifi upgrade can be done with ease. My last laptop i had to completely disassemble to get to the CPU. Smallish form factor- This laptop is actually smaller than my 14" HP DV6 (previous laptop). Because of the thin bezels it has a fairly small footprint. The 60hz screen is surprisingly good, its not macbook good(own one of those as well) but it is VERY good considering the price. Not much washing out and great contrast. The matte finish is also very nice for bright lights in the office. Cons: Numpad- Its pretty terrible im not a fan. It takes a WHILE to get used to it. I still have issues blind typing with it, the layout of the numpad is odd to say the least. Its nice to have but has a steep learning curve. The keyboard and track pad layout, are pretty standard of gaming laptops(slightly off center) and might annoy someone who hasnt owned a gaming laptop before. Wifi card- If your device comes with the realtek wifi car, replace it with the intel 9560 card ($15-20). The realtek randomly disconnects as well as crashes my router. Even after the bios update. Plus the 9560 upgrades bluetooth to 5.0 which is a nice addition. Really the best cheap mod you can do to this device. Thermals- This is not exclusive to this laptop, they are generally good. However, after heavy gaming sessions the device can get warm, in the 80-95 degree Celsius range. This is because of the GPU and the processor. THIS IS NOT A DEVICE ISSUE. This is more related to the components themselves. Undervolting (w/throttlestop) is an easy fix and will remedy the solution with no harm to the computer. If you know your way around computers, you can repaste for an easy 5-10 degree Celsius temp drop. According to Lenovo, this will not void the warranty as long as it doesnt directly effect what you are claiming the warranty for. Fan noise- if you arent used to the fan noise of a gaming laptop, dont buy this computer. However, thats really only when you are really pushing the internals. When im using excel, idle, notepad ++ , watching videos, or surfing. The laptop is silent. It does occasionally spool up the fans on start up, but its not a major issue. When gaming the fan noise is average for a gaming laptop. ALL GAMING LAPTOPS ARE NOISY WHEN PUSHING THE CPU AND GPU! I cant stress that enough for people who come from office laptops or macbooks. You cant put a V8 into something and expect it to be quiet. lol The screen, if you are a video/photo editor and care about color accuracy this is not the screen for you. However, if you do those things you probably already have an external monitor. All in all great buy, just compare its guts to a Acer Helios 300(better specs, but muuuch bulkier), dell g7(last gen), razor blade/stealth/15.

I did my homework and knew what I wanted. This thing is perfect. Selected this over comparable products hardware-wise due to the non-gamer style and its perfect. Its an eye-catcher in the office without it screaming gamer. People think Ive just bought a really really nice laptop, which I have. Its very stylish. Performance-wise its amazing. Super fast. Not hot. Thin bezels, solidly built. The fans do throttle up from time to time but its not that long and Ive had it in meetings and people dont even seem to notice. Granted, I dont play super graphics intensive games but I do play some CPU intensive stuff and it just handles it without giving me a moment thinking its working too hard. Couldnt be happier.

Slickest looking gaming laptop Ive ever seen. Not a fan on red and balck standard so I like the colors. Games runs great. No issues at Max for any game Ive played. Fans do get hella loud though. Not a big deal to me though. Its good to know they fans are working. Battery life isnt that great, but thats to be expected from any well performing gaming laptop. Just keep it plugged in. I got this because I travel a lot. And Id like to keep my computer with me without constantly shipping myself a desktop. So will the performance Im getting for the price and convince, perfect.

Its a good product for the price I paid. Pros: A good GPU, I dont use it for gaming, so I can not review the laptop in that way; I use it for calculations (HPC) and 3D apps. Ive got the expected results. A good screen, it exceeded my expectations according to reviews of other users. Cons: The camera is in a rare position and its necessary to tilt the monitor to point at your face. The batterys life is not so good. Windows gives me better performance than linux (ubuntu). Fans are quite louder when start heavy calculations, but I think is normal for this type of computers.

This laptop is really amazing. It can run any game at 1080p and most games at 1440p. I have the core i7 8750 w/ the gtx 1060, and the performance is perfect. I would definitely recommend this product
