Good machine, reasonably slim and light for a 15incher. Bought one in an earlier sale. Screen listed as 220nits but turned out to be 280nits IPS (BOE nv15n3d). Flicker on this panel can be obvious to some when in lower brightness settings.
Single channel RAM but with only one of the two RAM slots occupied. Would recommend adding another 8GB RAM module for dual channel operation. Amount of memory dedicated to graphics is fixed to 512MB and doesn't seem to budge despite the extra RAM installed. This might cause issue on some games.
Came with SSD bracket for second nvme slot. Top lid and keyboard deck made out of aluminium, but bottom panel is made out of plastic.
Fan can be audible but not excessively loud under load. Keyboard deck and bottom of the machine can get warm under load as well but processor temperature is generally in check. There is no obvious way to adjust the cooling policy on the device, however, so you are left to the mercy of the system.
Battery life is okay with the 3 cell but could use a larger battery. The laptop can be charged over USB-C PD (using a 45W adapter).
