My only problem is that the trackpad feels bit clunky when I click it. The audio is pretty good too and the computer is very fast so far. | [] | B075VT9LFC | B0BTPS1JQC | AEPNFGXPKYT5K6PUWAYZFB3O2VGQ | 1,516,281,423,395 | 0 | true |
5 | Great laptop..delivers what it claims | It’s very efficient in delivering what it says. Great performance at that price.<br />Only downside is that it’s too heavy 7 pounds. | [] | B075VT9LFC | B0BTPS1JQC | AGH724EOSQ6DJW4QTID3WLBCXP4A | 1,517,214,516,572 | 1 | true |

Its much obvious looking it directly than photos.<br /><br />Also ,<br />each times I open something the user control window will stuck for 1 second.<br /><br />The touch-pad is hard to control.<br /><br />Not able to waken the computer from sleep mode even you set " closing your computer will not go to sleeping model". | [

5 | Highly recommend! | The device is just great for the money. Exactly what I've expected. The touchpad's surface: fingers do not go smooth enough, but this is a very minor thing. | [] | B075VT9LFC | B0BTPS1JQC | AGS4AG6RUBOOFNQVY2KUPXSTLW4A | 1,525,109,530,888 | 0 | true |

Only one wired issue I noticed is it has hanged two times within 1 month of period. Also, when it's hanged no option worked, I directly needed to shutdown by power button after couple of tries. It may Windows 10 specific problem. Apart from this, it's super fast. Thanks for this product. | [] | B075VT9LFC | B0BTPS1JQC | AHXCQMWY3ZVDA6I4FYWBE6GHYAKA | 1,524,029,849,414 | 2 | true |

5 | Laptop Feedback 'Cons' | I picked up the i7 with GTX 1050 Ti for content creation and super pleased with the purchase. Not going to dive into all technical details because there are a dozen reviews on that already.<br /><br />Things to note before purchasing this laptop for content creation<br />1: The display is great but you need to color calibrate it<br />2: I've been editing some videos i shot on my drone in 2.7k with tons of effects and it performs really well (adobe Premiere Pro)<br />3: When you edit for long, the GPU will heat up and stop playing videos (post 45 mins of non stop editing), this may also be due to improper ventilation as i had the laptop placed on my Sofa. I can reconfirm if this happens again.<br />4: The price is great - I couldn't find another one with similar specs at the time of my purchase. | [] | B075VT9LFC | B0BTPS1JQC | AECUIPW2FQCEVJFNN27J2XL3UXNA | 1,515,804,192,459 | 4 | true |

1 | Broke within 6 months | This computer was super slow. That, I could deal with. But then my mic started going out about a month ago. I could still deal with that, albeit annoying. NOW, my speakers aren't working. If I could give 0 starts, I would. Piece of junk. I wish I could get my money back. | [] | B0762S8PYM | B0C62FZFH5 | AFHNMVIOKVWOMUHL2R63PJAMMNSA | 1,642,452,069,914 | 1 | true |
2 | Decent machine, if a little expensive, but horrible manufacturer support | I originally bought this in April for the dual purpose of work from home and playing video games. It runs most modern games decently well, which you would expect given the staggering price tag, but you had definitely pray that nothing goes wrong with your machine because Acer support absolutely 100% does not have your back.<br /><br />Fast forward to two weeks ago when the charger fails without warning. Zero power output at all. Luckily for me, because that's the only solution Acer support will offer when you call in. They offer no troubleshooting at all, just offer a new charger. Less luckily for me they have no sense of urgency about this at all. I was told this would be shipping as slow as possible, and they would not expedite even if I were to pay the difference. Did they even send the right part? Who knows. We'll find out in two days. Exactly 13 days from when I originally called support to let them know that my new laptop already needs a replacement part. | [] | B08VKV5WQ1 | B094HMMXMW | AG2IT3QMGW7ZA5TVWFQ7UAMTNSXQ | 1,646,178,791,789 | 1 | true |
2 | Hard Drive, power cord and overheat failure. not recommended | I lost all my information due to a defective hard drive, it's not for gaming, it overheats to 100 °, not my best buy, I hope to buy a better one, this is not what I thought it was | [] | B07CGLQFRK | B07H93MSRR | AEA2QJVUB2GSLMKOPTML6L4JJTWQ | 1,567,097,878,145 | 0 | true |

2 | Do not buy this computer if you want a 2 in 1, the touchscreen issue is a nightmare! | The computer is incredible, overall it's incredible, but you're supposed to be buying a 2 in 1, THIS IS NOT! The touchscreen works randomly, you install a program, it stops responding, you need to disable the device, reboot, sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. The Lenovo support DOES NOT EXIST. Adobe support tries to do its best, they tell you to execute the same actions that you read on google, it does not work.<br />If the computer was BROKEN, it would have been much better. But it isn't, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's one of the annoying things that have ever happened to me.<br />Really dissapointing about this purchase, it's a great computer but it's not a 2 in 1. | [] | B07L51LTTT | B07MHYB5RK | AHOBVHIW2MAYHBNIW6HXHOB7GVUQ | 1,565,042,602,856 | 1 | true |
4 | Good Laptop. No Working Stylus Pen. | The laptop works perfectly, but the stylus pen had NO battery! So I have to search and BUY a 4A (AAAA) battery which I'd never known existed!

4 | Pretty good👌👍 | The only reason why I do not give it a five star rating is because the description says that it has 512 gb storage memory. However, mine has 450 gb total with only 415 gb available. In other words it was a bit of a let down. Other than that, it runs smooth and fast and you can also play some light games on it. | [] | B07CX7Y1ZW | B07MHYB5RK | AFFU3LIS3ZAXIIRLFOHCWWMGG35Q | 1,561,056,722,286 | 0 | true |

4 | Good Hybrid Gaming/Work Laptop | This PC offers great performance with functionality. The SSD and i7 processor allows me to easily perform tasks for school, with the dedicated graphics card and 16 GB of RAM provides a fair gaming experience.<br /><br />However, if you're are looking for either a dedicated PC to perform work on or gaming, I think there are better options.<br /><br />The portability as a 3-1 is great for a work environment, but the laptop is quite heavy, your arms will get tired of holding it in tablet mode.<br /><br />The keyboard is backlight, and can be turned off the save battery life. But it's incredibly small in comparison to the size of the laptop. The mouse pad is pretty standard for a laptop: mediocre. I find it easier to just use the touchpad instead. It's pretty much unenjoyable to game with, so you recommend getting an external mouse.<br /><br />500GB SSD is perfectly adequate for a work computer (depending on your work), but too small for games.<br /><br />Dedicated graphic cards is always a plus for gamers, the MX 130 isn't anything outstanding, but it will run most games at an average of 30 fps.<br /><br />Battery life seems to be quite low.<br /><br />Finally, my laptop came backed with a 10th gen i7 as opposed to the advertised the 8th gen. And my graphics card is recognized as a MX 230, instead of the MX 130. This could be a error in my drivers, and they are not being reported correctly in task manager, but if so, they I actually got a upgrade in specs than advertised.<br /><br />I see this laptop working great for me in my needs, mostly doing daily tasks, school, and work, with slight gaming when away from my main desktop gaming PC.<br />-3 Days of use. | [] | B07L51LTTT | B07MHYB5RK | AGYFMG2H5XX46D323BWWX3BEQ3XQ | 1,611,448,937,648 | 0 | true |
1 | The motherboard is dead!!! | I've had this laptop for past 6 months and the motherboard is not working any more. I have to replace it, i think ive been scammed for what i paid for. You sold me a half dead laptop.!!! | [] | B07CX7Y1ZW | B07MHYB5RK | AFGX4PZIKERUNMMQAX4GDL4CCKOQ | 1,580,072,478,981 | 0 | true |
5 | Best Laptop I've owned! | I was in the market for a new laptop as I needed something with a strong battery for work, this machine gets 9-10 hours of battery life (as long as I turn down the brightness a bit and turn off wireless)!<br /><br />16 gigs of RAM is awesome, the i7 processor is nice, and these things help the laptop boot up lightning quick! I didn't think I'd use the touchscreen much, but now that I have it, it's very nice!<br /><br />The only two things I wish were different is the graphics card and hard drive. The first is my fault; opting for the cheaper ($30 less) graphics card probably wasn't smart, and I wish I was able to get a 1 terabyte SSD rather then 500 gigs.<br /><br />Overall, I LOOOOVE this laptop! But do yourself a favor and get the stronger graphics card and/or bigger hard drive if possible. | [] | B07L51LTTT | B07MHYB5RK | AGZAR7DCNFLTI42X4TN4CFW4Z3PQ | 1,600,699,427,671 | 0 | true |

5 | A bit hesitant to make the purchase but very happy in the end | I must admit, like most people, I was a bit hesitant to order a refurbished laptop however at roughly $100 less than one that was brand new and being a slightly higher spec'd model, I decided that the risk was low. It was definitely the right choice to make. The laptop arrived quickly and in like new condition, the only way you could have known that it wasn't a brand new product was the packaging which I believe offered the device more protection in shipping than the box most brand new laptops ship with anyway.<br />I am also very pleasantly surprised with the product itself. I spent a good few weeks before making the purchase going from store to store trying laptops out. I have to say, build quality wise this laptop is of similar robustness, fit and finish to laptops worth double if not triple the price. Granted, specs wise, the processor is a little out of date now however I haven't experienced any issues in this department yet. I work a lot with large, complex excel spreadsheets and so far, I haven't had an issue with performance.<br />In summary, a great laptop in immaculate condition at an amazing price. | [] | B07CX7Y1ZW | B07MHYB5RK | AH6YV5TQ5E2BP2DQQCPF4S6QDADA | 1,580,581,498,023 | 0 | true |

3 | UPDATED: Died after 18 months and replacing the fan | Purchase in November 2018, replaced the fan in 2019 and now from what I am reading/diagnosing the motherboard probably needs to be replaced. My wife has a refurbished model as well and it still works but she does not use it as much as I use mine. Just be aware as with any refurbished product some are better than others. | [] | B07L51LTTT | B07MHYB5RK | AFPULOR2DOJK74HIAAK2TVZRJ74Q | 1,552,625,255,730 | 0 | true |
1 | Burns my fingers | This laptop comes with the MX130 not NVIDIA 940MX. The processor gets too hot for a laptop this thin and with awful cooling. It runs over 90C at idle and sometimes hits above 110C when gaming, just using the keyboard will actually burn your fingers. Great for watching high quality videos as long as its not on your lap or touching you at all. If you bought this hoping to get high frames with its ssd, 16gb of ram, and dedicated graphics card, expect 40fps at low settings. Total waste of money. | [] | B07CX7Y1ZW | B07MHYB5RK | AHWJVCSHGMQQYUC2BPTRIE7LV56A | 1,592,193,096,000 | 1 | true |
4 | Looked Brand New!!! | I received this Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5-1570 laptop on JUNE 2nd 2020. The shipping box was basically torn apart, however, the internal Lenovo box was undamaged. I was very happy and surprised to see that the computer looked brand new without any scratches or blemishes. It came with the i7 CPU, &16GB of RAM. Also to my surprise, it came installed with a 512gb Samsung M.2 NVMe SSD hard drive. Other reviews have mentioned not receiving this particular SSD drive. I removed this SSD drive and replaced it with my nearly identical Samsung 512gb M.2 drive from my HP Spectre computer with a dead motherboard. I simply just swapped them out and it booted up with a few minor hiccups (face recognition login errors). I was going to clone my HP SSD Drive in order to keep all of my files and programs but this easy swap worked out even better. I now have a spare 512gb drive that I can clone on a regular basis and keep around just in case I need it. I have since deleted any HP diagnostic & support applications that carried over and replaced them with the Lenovo versions. The Lenovo Vantage program scanned the computer and updated the BIOS and a few drivers. My only remaining concern is battery life. Several online reviews stated 7-8 hrs of battery life but after fully charging the system and unplugging, the battery monitoring indicator in the Vantage app indicated 3hr 45min of life left. I probably need to tweak the battery and display settings to find the sweet spot. If I can get the battery life up to 6 hrs, I will give it 5 stars. This is not a sleek and flashy as the HP Spectre, but overall I'm happy with my purchase. I will update my review if I have any major problems. | [] | B07L51LTTT | B07MHYB5RK | AEQWKUHSDUXH7EHKWCCG7K3POCAQ | 1,591,158,272,940 | 0 | true |

3 | Great computer but battery life is horrible | I ordered the computer to replace an 8 year old Dell that was slow and just couldn't handle anything. I liked the options on this computer, 512 SSD, 16 GB RAM, touchscreen and an I-7 processor. This thing was a beast and I needed to have it. I had some issues with shipping, it came to the house and didn't require a signature so was left outside (Thanks UPS), but other than that, delivery was quick. I started using the computer and man, compared to compared to what I had, it's a Ferrari vs a Yugo (Kids born after the 80's, look it up and you'll understand) and I was able to do everything I wanted. Doesn't have a CD/DVD drive but not a big deal for me as I have external drives to hook up for everything on the old computer.<br />I have duel monitors so its plugged in all the time but I wanted to use it on a trip I was going on so I unplugged it to take it with me. When I disconnected the battery, in 30 minutes it went from 95% to 6%. I thought there was something wrong so I plugged it back in and unplugged it again; this time it went from 99% to 6% in two minutes. I looked at reviews about the computer and it said the batteries were 3 cell LiON which means it isn't that good but not expecting it to be that bad. Overall the computer works great but I can't take it with me anywhere because the battery is horrible so if mobility is you need, look elsewhere. | [

2 | Very disappointed , we bought 2, and both were defective. | We purchased 2 , 1 had the ssd drive weirdly partitioned like it was the 90s calling and the total storage did not add upto the storage published. The other one's touch screen stopped working after 3 weeks of usage.<br />These are laptops laying on a desk with the most careful of possible uses. I can only assume they were handled by careless / unqualified technicians,or we won the jackpot with 2 out of 2 defective.<br />I hope for everyone else, it was the later. | [] | B07CX7Y1ZW | B07MHYB5RK | AGM2RHNR5XSM54XY6P3QOSKTSEQQ | 1,556,917,470,805 | 2 | true |
5 | Small size super powerful | I've have this laptop for a couple of weeks now. It is wicked fast! I can't believe such a small computer can be so powerful and fast. The computer is super responsive and I have had no problems getting it to do what I need it to do. The screen is bright vibrant and color balance is perfect. The keyboard and it's ability to customize is just awesome. Watch out when the computer is running a heavy load it gets super hot!! But I haven't noticed any slow downs and the heat distribution seems to work just fine. As soon as you stop the work load, the computer cools down very quickly. The 240hz screen is awesome, you will notice a differenceg when play games obviously, you'll also notice web browsing and other programs are nice and smooth and responsive. Great buy for a power house computer without the size and heaviness. | [] | B07QYCZ3P5 | B07QYCZ3P5 | AHMBC6AMQPKBAQAX37FBJSZJWY6A | 1,566,495,024,361 | 4 | true |

2 | A big disappointment | I wanted a laptop for 2 purposes: 1) so I could browse the web quickly and stream videos and 2) so my husband could play games, even if at a lower quality, while we live abroad.<br /><br />It seems like my browser is constantly freezing (at least once per browsing session, but more times the longer I'm on, even if I'm just writing emails), and it is not an internet problem. I usually have to wait a full 2 minutes for the computer to function again. We have an older laptop (with worse graphics) that never freezes.<br /><br />For gaming, my husband turned the graphics all the way down on Overwatch. He says there's still a bit of a lag, making the game unplayable in competitive mode since the response time will mess up your ability to do well. | [] | B06XFGDD8P | B07HZBT6WY | AEEOITTGJRIIUBPX32G53JTWOFVA | 1,503,056,500,195 | 3 | false |

5 | Best laptop I've ever used. | After ordering this laptop and using it for a while, I was extremely upset because even after the specs given, the performance was terrible. After realizing that its possible to put a Sata III drive in it for a boot drive, I can't believe this is still this low a price. This is the best piece of performance for what it should be used for that I've ever used. WITH fingerprint delay, my bootup is literally roughly 5 seconds, with everything being extremely snappy and the only thing that makes me wait is the fact that my school's internet is terrible. If you were debating on buying this, I 110% recommend it but ONLY if you buy it with a Sata III drive and reading another reviewers guide and that there are screws under 2 of the feet of the bottom.[[ASIN:B074ZF28GP Silicon Power 120GB M55 M.2 2280 SSD With R/W Up To 560/530MB/s (SLC Cache for Speed Boost) SATA III Internal Solid State Drive for Ultrabooks and Tablets (SP120GBSS3M55M28)]] | [] | B0762S8PYM | B0C62FZFH5 | AEVHBWPUEUJGUAURWLTIIBQJVTXQ | 1,516,896,152,350 | 4 | true |
4 | Pretty good overall, but a few minor flaws. | Edit: Updated after spending more time with the laptop.<br /><br />I ended up buying two of these. First one was for me, the second one was for my son who is in the military.<br /><br />I can say that my power brick works fine and the "pigtail" fits into the brick just fine. I think that reviewer was unlucky and got a dud.<br /><br />RAM is soldered on, so there aren't any upgrades. However, it's low power DDR4 4266, so it's fast and also in dual channel. 16 GB should be enough for most people.<br /><br />The SSD is a PCIe 3.0 x4, so it's relatively quick. HWinfo64 reports it's also NVMe 1.3, which isn't the latest spec. The SSD itself is made by SK Hynix and performs reasonably well. There are two M.2 slots inside. Slot 1 is NVMe/SATA. Second is NVMe only. Both slots are PCIe 3.0 as the AMD Ryzen 5000 series only supports PCIe 3.0. If you want to upgrade your storage, don't waste your money on a Gen 4/PCIe 4.0 SSD unless you plan on moving it to a faster computer later. I recommend the SK Hynix P31 Gold 1 TB for a second drive. I put one in my son's Swift X and it performs very well.<br /><br />The Wifi is made by Mediatek. I had a lot of issues with this card. It wouldn't connect to my Fios wireless network (it'd connect to the guest network though - go figure). Card was very slow. I bought an Intel AX210 for my son's laptop and it fixed the problems. Speed and connectivity is significantly better with an Intel card.<br /><br />The laptop is a little short on ports, including an Ethernet and an SD card slot. You may want to get a USB dock that has these and additional USB ports.<br /><br />Now the graphics card. First off, this is NOT a gaming laptop nor does it claim to be. This is a low power version of the RTX 3050 Ti. If you buy this with gaming as your primary focus, you'll be disappointed. There are dedicated gaming laptops that will do a much better job.<br /><br />With that being said, this laptop is one that is capable of doing some lighter gaming and doing it reasonably well. It will perform better than other thin and light graphics solutions like the Nvidia MX450 or the Intel Xe. Think more of playing a game in your hotel after a day of work. The lower power edition will have lower performance than other RTX 3050 Ti's running at a higher wattage. The graphics card is there to give a boost to creator software like Photoshop and Premier. This laptop is primarily a work laptop. Still gaming will be significantly better than with the onboard Radeon graphics, or a comparable laptop with Intel Xe graphics.<br /><br />Screen is pretty good for its segment. Sound is ok. Headphones would be advised for better sound.<br /><br />Keyboard backlight was another issue for me. The white backlight with the gold keys can make it hard to read with the backlight on. I found the keyboard more readable with the backlight off in a lit room. The middle right section of the keyboard was significantly dimmer than the left side and right edge. It made the keyboard even more difficult to read and quite frankly, it drove me nuts. My son's laptop didn't have the issue.<br /><br />Acer offered to do a warranty repair for me, but a tech at an authorized Acer repair shop told me to just send it back as I'd have the situation resolved much more quickly. I ended up exchanging it for a laptop that better meets my needs (IA testing and development). I bought another Acer as I still like the brand. I just needed something a bit beefier and a bit more upgradeable. It's a great laptop for my son who has much more "normal" computing needs than I do.<br /><br />Overall, it seems like a solid laptop for the price. It's not fancy but should do it's primary tasks well (business) with a little extra for entertainment. Compared to other thin and lights I've owned (an Aspire 5 and a Lenovo Ideapad 720S), this outperforms them.<br /><br />If you go in with reasonable expectations, you should be quite happy with the purchase. | [] | B093TK1PXF | B0CCN9VDB4 | AGP4CKEBDK7LWFHZY6R3SPOMJA3A | 1,627,007,848,185 | 220 | true |

3 | Good finish. Cons | Ibought this computer couple of weeks back. before this I was using Macbook Air 13inch 2011 (Mid year) model. I wanted a powerful machine to make it a development machine. Here ismy experience so far.<br /><br />Pros:<br />1. It is a fast machine. Windows startup time is fast and when I run Linux VM they perform very well.<br />2. Good finish.<br /><br />Cons:<br />1. I wonderwhy so many people said good thingabout the Keyboard. It has cheap keyboard. noticed missingspaces in my feedback. Spacekey is not workingwell. despite pressing it properly it keep missing it (specially when pressed edge near to touchpad) . May be it is faulty on my laptop only.<br />2. white backlight on gray keys is not a goodidea. Keys something turn invisible.<br />3. Speaker sound is low comparingto my Macbook 13inch. Iwas expecting higher speaker sound from a (near to) gaming laptop.<br />4. Screen color are not accurate. Yellow lookslike mustard yellow.<br />5. Not much contentfor 4K. Many developmenttools like Eclipesdoes not support 4K :-( It isnot laptop issue but I mention it someone trying to decide between 4K or FullHD.<br /><br />My main problem is with Keyboard. It is bad.<br /><br />Buyingthis Laptop was not a wise decision for me. | [] | B018AX3OHO | B018AX3OHO | AFMIDTNFKVTZZACOXPQF5JXU5ISA | 1,457,973,666,000 | 0 | false |

1 | Do not buy unless you’re willing to fork out more money for stupid warranties | It arrived in June 2018. With its speaker not working. The sound coming out of it is the sound of your laptop being submerged into the water at least 10 metres down. I thought that the laptop would be amazing based on the reviews but for the past 2 months, I have been passed on to different customer support to get the speaker fixed which is still under warranty.<br /><br />On Dell’s website, it allows you to do an international warranty transfer (which is about 3-4 weeks processing time) but after the international warranty transfer... what they don’t tell you is that... you need to purchase the global warranty service for another 150-250 USD.<br /><br />Its a very expensive piece of garbage with the customer service even crappier than what they sell. It’s a complete rip-off. They won’t service your issue (a clear manufacturing issue) unless you buy another warranty on top of the international warranty you’ve already transferred). | [] | B01N4BMMJK | B01N1ZBT80 | AFGM2JC7GIMT6SJFFQRAXWDV7TLA | 1,534,752,184,854 | 5 | true |

2 | Fine, and well | Received this as an early xmas gift. Was excited to begin using this as my daily driver at work. Unfortunately right out of the box it just loaded to BIOS. Fine, and well.

Unfortunately, without taking it apart I can't know what's possibly wrong; will be returning this and looking elsewhere. | [] | B0146DD02G | B0146DD02G | AFDYXV5OSWES3DXYK3JVWTTUBVXQ | 1,449,116,532,000 | 0 | false |

4 | A powerful and good looking laptop | This is overall a very good laptop. The display looks very smooth and sharp, and the design of this year's omen is great and isn't too "aggressive" compared to a lot of other gaming laptops. It's relatively light and has enough ports for any type of needs. Also, the keyboard is very comfortable to use and the material of the laptop seems to be of good quality (the screen does have some flex but the keyboard and "body" of the laptop are sturdy enough). Performance wise also, nothing to say: it can handle multiple tasks, it's fast enough, responsive and allows most triple A games to run at 60+ fps on the highest settings. Now it's also good to know that fingerprints get very noticeable on the laptop but can be erased with a microfiber cloth. Also there's a gap between the screen and the keyboard when it's closed but since its a plastic screen its probably nothing to worry about (but still good to know). The edges are a bit sharp when writing, it's not particularly uncomfortable I believe but it could be for some people. In terms of battery life, you can get around 3 hours doing usual tasks like writing documents on Word or watching Youtube videos on Normal mode. I assume you could get an extra hour with Power saving mode on, but yeah the battery isn't that great. Lastly, it's most of the time a quiet device, even though the fans can get a little loud doing basic tasks sometimes but it's never for more than 2-3 minutes. When gaming they do stay loud but it's nothing too loud it's pretty decent.<br />Overall: I enjoy using this laptop everyday and it can handle pretty much anything you would wanna do wether it's for work or gaming. The only downside would be the battery life but this can easily be fixed with a portable charger. | [] | B08G3T3G9X | B08G3T3G9X | AHKYUNLC5Q5AA45JMG6KZMP2M7IA | 1,610,143,491,135 | 1 | true |

2 | Good computer with bad QA | The laptop performs well and its price was good, but HP is notorious for bad quality assurance. Unfortunately this laptop is no different.<br /><br />It runs great and plays great, but the build quality is very poor with some manufacturing defects. Mousepad is finicky and doesn't always work well. On top of that the r and x key on the keyboard randomly stopped working (this is a common issue for the Omen 15).<br />Plugging in a monitor through the mini displayport caused the wifi router to stop working completely (also a known defect), and trying to fix it caused my copy of windows to become corrupted. I had to spend several hours to wipe my hard drive and reinstall windows.<br /><br />Good laptop, bad quality. | [] | B08G3T3G9X | B08G3T3G9X | AE42VD2OTEABVWVGOGFVVDE56BWQ | 1,641,689,224,631 | 1 | true |

3 | Abnormal graphic display issue. | I purchased my laptop from the U.S. Amazon shopping website. After booting it up, I opened the NVIDIA GeForce Experience software to update the display driver. However, I noticed that the graphics displayed on the screen were abnormal (see Abnormal 1). Subsequently, I installed several games and tried to optimize my game settings through the NVIDIA GeForce Experience software. Yet, I found the graphics on the game interface were also aberrant (see Abnormal 2 and 3). Initially, I assumed it was a system issue, so I connected the laptop to an external monitor. To my surprise, the previously abnormal graphics were normal on the external monitor (see Normal 1 and 2). So, I want to know, is this laptop defective? If so, what should I do? If not, will you be able to provide a fix for this issue? | [

4 | Beasty performance for a price | I will update over time. First impression is it’s a beast and screen is super bright and beautiful. Also big shoutout to Ted at HiD. I bungled my order and he rushed to get it to me before I flew. Great customer care and communication. Thank you!<br /><br />UPDATE AFTER 1 DAY: out of the box had terrible coil whine and mini led whine, but after updating bios to v 306 it went away almost completely. Timespy result 18759. Thermals are great. This was a big worry w gaming laptop, so hopefully low temps will help longevity. Will update over time.<br /><br />UPDATE AFTER 2 WEEKS: I mostly gave up using this thing on the go. Battery life is too short, even for web browsing/YT. I'm a programmer and it breaks my concentration after an hour warning about battery life. So now I treat this as a "portable desktop" -- it must always be plugged in. And no, USB-C is not a good solution because it reduces performance and battery life (the USB-C just charges the battery, which is then used to power the laptop). I knew battery life was bad on gaming laptops, but this really surprised me.<br /><br />Another issue is the software. As reported by many users on reddit (r/gaminglaptops shoutout), Nvidia drivers are causing constant black screen freezing. Seems related to iGPU/dGPU switching. I guess that will be fixed eventually, but for now I downgraded to 528.66 provided by ASUS directly which are stable no crashes.<br /><br />With BIOS 307 you are able to undervolt the CPU. I'm running stable at -100 now. Very nice. Combined with PL limit to 60W, my CPU stays 70-90 C temp range with no thermal throttle and still v good perf. Altho this laptop has a good cooling system, the 13th gen intel gets very hot in this smaller chassis so I found these steps necessary.<br /><br />Overall, I'm still satisfied w the system because of beast performance. I will update again, but hopefully ASUS and Nvidia sort out stability issues. For now lowered to 4 stars due to software issues, coil whine, and extremely short battery life.<br /><br />UPDATE AFTER 4 WEEKS: All good basically just waiting for software updates. Once you learn to work around the issues it's a beast. BTW, I registered this review to get a warranty extension. So disclosing that I am receiving a warranty extension from ASUS for this feedback. Will keep updating this review over time...<br /><br />UPDATE AFTER 3 MONTHS: New BIOS upgrades have brought stability and support for 5600mhz memory sticks. Also coil whine mostly went away. Not sure if it's from new BIOS or laptop finally "wearing in" as I read. I still hear it momentarily when loading stuff up, but it's 95% less than before. Feels great cuz this laptop is a beast. Rendering videos and reloading assemblies like a champ.<br /><br />HOWEVER, graphical problems still persist like flickering and black screen. ASUS recommended using 4 month-old Nvidia drivers to fix this. Those old drivers do solve some problems, but performance drops in some games (I get 45 FPS in C2077 Overdrive using old drivers vs 75 FPS w new). And if you use latest Nvidia drivers you get a perf boost but then screen flickers returns. Lastly, maybe related but I noticed some old games run hot as hell. My CPU hit 110 C (!!!) momentarily playing Phantom Doctrine. But most new games don't go above 95 C hmm...<br /><br />One big takeaway from this whole experience is that gaming laptops are still niche. # of users is prob 1/10 of desktops, so drivers and software are not tested as well and bugs not caught quickly and treat w urgency. And importantly there's less info out there to help you solve your problems. So if you don't like tinkering, stick w desktop for your workhorse. | [] | B0BS8HV64F | B0BY2V8GNG | AFT52BLKPUUT74OUPHV22WSJ5JDQ | 1,678,555,789,792 | 64 | true |

4 | A formidable gaming laptop at a fair price | I have had a black screen (a crash requiring a hard reset) issue a handful of times in the two weeks I have had this laptop, which is really my only reservation. This even though I have updated BIOS, and I had read that the latest BIOS updates fixed this. That aside, it's performing very well. The thermals seem good and the screen quality is magnificent. The chassis seems durable and I appreciate the simple, sleek design, all the while having the options to use the RGB to make it look like a trance party if I feel like it. It's not a cheap rig by any stretch of the imagination, but I think it's well-rpiced given the hardware it comes with. If it weren't for the couple of black screens, I'd give it 5 stars. | [] | B0BS8HV64F | B0BY2V8GNG | AHPYO7K3UYJFTE4ZJOCO3FRYDPMA | 1,686,552,799,937 | 1 | true |

1 | Razer | It was heaven on Earth… for like 6 months. After that it slowly started going downhill. First issue was staying on black screen every time I started it up. The second issue not being able to start via power alone(needed to be plugged in). The next issue was the laptop randomly getting the blue screen of death (power state driver failure) then shutting down. It happened once in a while then started happening back to back daily. Lastly, it now says critical processor has died. The laptop won’t restart either. Not sure if this is because the product was refurbished or because the negative rumors surrounding Razer are true | [] | B09RBH8GWG | B0974PN732 | AHMQZDZYZ6TTSP2T4HMA6YDWJE3A | 1,689,407,588,961 | 0 | false |
5 | A Great Laptop | I love this laptop. It took me weeks to choose a laptop to replace my dead one, and I am so glad I chose this one. The cons I saw on the other online reviews mostly talked about crappy speakers, that it's heavy, and the keys aren't backlit. I didn't care about any of these things, so I bought it anyway. The non-lit keys are not even an issue for me, so that ceased to be a con. The speakers are more then sufficient (and I paid extra for my first laptop to have superior speakers. So far these seem equal to those.) so that becomes a pro. Then as far as the weight goes, I don't think it's heavy at all. I carry it to class with me either in my backpack or my laptop case, and it is a non issue. Is it "light"? Probably not, but it's certainly not heavy. The most difficulty I have had is with the Windows 8 OS, but I'm getting used to it. It's not as different as it seems. The touch screen is a godsend with Windows 8, though. It's so intuitive, but it also works fine if you don't use it. You will have full operating capabilities either way, but it's way easier to have the touch screen there. The battery life is awesome too. It can easily last me through my classes. I'd been using it unplugged for about 3 or 4 hours, and it's been sleeping unplugged for about 9, and I still have over an hour left, while I'm multitasking. It's worth the money! | [] | B00COQGJSK | B00COQGJSK | AFGAAZ3IY6DXC7K7CIVNMEQL4TVQ | 1,396,794,921,000 | 23 | true |
5 | Great machine for great price | Great machine for the price, minimal bloatware, nice keyboard and spacing, runs games like a dream. Fan is very quiet, even on overdrive mode most people couldn't hear the fan over the running ac unit. Not super heavy either. Very please with this purchase. | [] | B07D7SRPBN | B07PFYMGB7 | AH5XNJIFVP2JTWXQ47MNSZJZH7SQ | 1,538,513,136,799 | 1 | true |

5 | Amazing | It has an amazing cooling system. I am not a benchmark specialist. Despite that, I can say it doesn't have any problem with PUBG on ultra mode. And the screen colors are amazing. | [] | B07D7P4SY1 | B07PFYMGB7 | AE4YIYXH62IZ5CBASRDU5DNFLXTQ | 1,553,117,169,045 | 0 | false |
5 | Extra quality,Fast shipment **** stars for the seller | First of all i want to thank for the fast shipment and this is the only seller who can ship this product to APO.From US to Afghanistan took 12 days.The laptop build quality is outstanding,the speakers are loud and the fans are quite.The only thing that annoying me on the keyboard is the Start button and Caps look button have a red light leaking...but its nothing compare to the performance that you get at the end. | [] | B07D7SRPBN | B07PFYMGB7 | AG2KYCPBNSJZETKSJDTKL7CYSEAQ | 1,566,705,105,889 | 2 | true |
5 | You wont Regret This Purchase | I normally use a laptop to handle all of my day to day necessities on the internet, however I've needed a gaming laptop that can handle playing games bc lets face it lol PC games just look and play better than console. The laptop is great for almost anything I need to throw at it. I play a few games like Fortnite, and or Fallout 4 with no issues.<br /><br />The laptop does fun but can a bit hot and the fans can get loud when running games on max settings, but when I through a cooling pad under it I don't see any performance issues. The fans are running and kicking out some heat, but nothing that raises any red flags for me. Overall this was a purchase for my gaming needs, the Screen is amazing, the smoothness of the keys on the keyboard are pretty nice, and I've yet to run into any major issues of hearing any noises that shouldn't be there or loss in framerate while playing games.<br /><br />I am receiving points in the ROG Elite Rewards loyalty program for my review | [] | B07D7SRPBN | B07PFYMGB7 | AEVCB2DVL7LVHHGNAOJWZZANU7EQ | 1,549,740,338,300 | 0 | false |

5 | Great gaming laptop with good aesthetics | The Asus ROG Strix SCAR II is a great gaming laptop with good looks.<br /><br />Options on the model I purchased:<br />Intel Core i7-8750H Processor<br />NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070<br />16GB DDR4<br />256GB PCIe SSD + 1TB SSHD (I replaced the !TB with a 2TB Firecuda SSHD before I even started it the first time)<br /><br />The top is brushed aluminum with 2 bush patterns and a fair bit of rigidity. My cal of 10 lbs has jumped on the lcosed laptop multiple times with no ill effect seen.<br />The ROG symbol that looks like chrome but can also be lit up with the RGB led, along with the light bar on the front. The light bar is not distracting at all when using it, contrary to my first thoughts when seeing it.<br />The keyboard has zones of lighting, it would have been nice if it were per key and with the way it changes color gradually it looks like it could have been with minimal trouble. With that said, it still looks great, and the key travel is enough to feel comfortable and solid. Typing on this is effortless.<br />The bottom was easy to open and the replaceable parts are all easy to get to. I replaced the hard drive with a 2 TB model in under 10 minutes. The only time consumer was the 11 or so screws, and slowly un-clipping the plastic base.<br />The screen looks and responds great, all the gaming I have done on it is smooth and tear free with the 1070. I have even connected it to an untrawide 2K 120 Hz monitor and the laptop had no issues driving both displays at the same time.<br />The SSD boots fast, and all the games I store on the 2TB version of the Firecuda SSHD that installed load quickly. While not SSD speeds the SSHD still is quick enough that you would probably only notice level loads. Possibly a 7200 HDD would be quicker, but would also produce more heat. I would expect the 1 TB that comes with the laptop normally to be just as quick as the 2 TB that I installed.<br />The laptop can get warm, but produces less heat under load that I expected; however the fans can get quite loud. Typically this is when I am playing games so I do not notice it, but when editing photos there is no background noise to mask the fans.<br />Battery life when just browsing and playing some videos is about 3 hours or so. Gaming will be less, and I am typically plugged in when using the laptop for games. I did not purchase this laptop for its battery life, so I was not expecting to get 5 hour runtimes with it and am very pleased with how long it lasts.<br /><br />I would recommend this laptop to anyone who is looking in this price range, or prehaps waiting for the new versions with the Nvidia 20xx cards coming out soon.<br /><br />Warning: If you get the model that only has a M.2 SSD drive in it (500 GB I believe), it does not have the cable for the secondary hard drive! This cost me a hefty restocking fee (other retailer) due to the fact that I wanted the bigger SSD and was going to put my on HDD in as the secondary drive. When I contracted Asus, they told me they did not have a hard drive cable to sell me. Even with this frustration, I went ahead and purchased another SCAR II after returning the first because I loved everything else about it. | [

1 | Worth the money, not worth the hastle trying to get it. | The laptop is fine, performs great, play most games at ultra settings, the 1060 is great.

Once it was shipped I had 2 day shipping, Then had to fight with UPS to try and get my package. | [] | B07D7SRPBN | B07PFYMGB7 | AGNVZ6D57OXY46EFKKRZHHDWNF7Q | 1,551,067,828,210 | 1 | true |

2 | It's a very disappointing headache! | If you have the money to spend on a bit higher end laptop, go for it.<br />I upgraded from ACER HELIOS 300 to This mess and to be honest, I've never struggled so far than with this. This was shipped International, or else I would've asked to refund this.<br /><br />1.Bloatware (way too much)<br />2. Some keys don't work<br />3. The backlit is not working, nor it's software.<br />4. ASUS doesn't do a good job on updating the drivers.<br /><br />Overall, if you intend to purchase this, do not. I'm trying to save your hard earned money.<br /><br />I'm deeply regret purchasing one. | [] | B07D7SRPBN | B07PFYMGB7 | AH2GHBGSI6QOAF26TKXNK4PJ4JQQ | 1,537,013,057,185 | 19 | true |
