    Pros

    • Decent build and design
    • Excellent price/performance ratio thanks to the latest generation Intel CPU and NVIDIA Pascal GPU
    • Above average battery life for an entry-level gaming notebook
    • Supports M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD

    • Unsatisfactory TN panel
    • The display uses PWM from 0 to 99% screen brightness (the Health-Guard profile fixes that)
    • There's noticeable heat dispersion across some parts of the interior during heavy load
