Keyboard

The Enter key is SO soft and mushy and I've noticed many of the keys, like the pair of Space bars, are also soft and don't register contact multiple times. VERY frustrating as I can type around 50 wpm and I'm having to Backspace WAY too much! GRR!. I want to send this POS back and try another brand, but I've found no other alternatives in my searches.

Smooth plan and simple to open top. Great keyboard with fair travel, clicky input, and a discretionary RGB backlighting.

Battery Life

Good but with some disappointments.

It might be marginally but use it for a couple hours and it's going to need a charge. I wouldn't recommend this for students. Having 2 classes in row will mean you're looking to sit near a plug in class to keep it charged. You can dim the screen down but that's not always possible when you're in a bright classroom

Best value for gaming laptop in this price range!

Battery life / runtime is solid for a gaming laptop, compared to others in the market. After running Windows Update to pull the latest patches and exercise multiple reboots, went to Nvidia and downloaded the latest GPU drivers, rebooted, and then started adding games. So far, so good!!! If this laptop presents any problems, I intend to come back and update this review. But, I'm hopeful this laptop will turn out to be a long term success, in spite of the random negative reviews some others posted
