Hello and thanks for your input,
I am extremely interested in the Recoil 2 as it seems like the best value laptop at the moment. I will be using it for video editing (and rendering), content creation, a lot of movies, some programming and casual gaming. Thus it is important for me to have a good screen and also perform well over a variety of tasks without overheating (I want to use it for 4-5 years hopefully). These are my questions:
1. How is the screen? I was thinking of getting the 60Hz, is the 144 is worth it? From my understanding it should only make games
smoother but since I am casual gamer & in future it is easier to plug larger monitor to it does it make sense to get 144Hz?
2. For the 1st hard disk I am wandering between the Seagate HDD(7200 rpm) or the SSHD?
3. For the M.2 from my understanding the Intel 760p should be much better than the WD black??
4. 120 or 180 W AC adapter?
5. Some people say it is running hot, some say it is cool, do you have problems with temperatures going over 90c?
6. With the bottom being a mesh doesn't a lot of dust get into the system?
7. The keyboard everybody talk about? Is it cheap and "mushy"? Can the lighting be adjusted to white instead of rainbow, adjusting the
brightness?
8. What would you say about dual booting? My plan is to partition the SSD with 200GB for Win & 50GB for Ubuntu?
Thanks!
