      @@RyanYu you should considered distnacne from heat source and how thick is the plastic cover (very fragile) and placed on sharp objects can "stab" the 🔋 true the ventilation holes... And once again if you calculate the price invested in 10 000 or 100 000 produced laptops... First metal cost money and second it takes time for workers to put it (production - manufacturing time / money). Better just keep it. BTW in the warranty is written that removing the warranty sticker by not authorized people/service... No longer warranty.. I checked the documentation of mine.

    I worked for a computer store and I've had one for 2 months already, the only problem I have to say is that the cpu heats up near the critical limit. For the price it is worth it and runs the majority of good games worth playing though.

      True, but I don't use it only for games, but for work. It passes clean without errors. If you play in a cold environment it doesn't give any error. As soon as it arrived, I called the call off duty at the limit and my room was very hot. Stayed all day connected to the game and no error. Extremely hot plus no errors. I am super happy with this machine.

      I'm sure a liquid metal application, or some other thermal paste that's aftermarket would decrease temperatures quite a bit. Thermal paste that manufacturers use leaves much to be desired.

Works with photogrammetry programs and on this machine it was almost a hundred times faster than my tenth generation xeon. For the price I paid, it was worth every penny. I was going to buy an inferior alienware for twice the price to say that it had a good and slow brand.
