Hi guys,
I recently bought this maxed out specced optimus ix laptop and after having used it for over two weeks here are my thoughts and experiences:
1. The drivers were not up to date so I updated the drivers.
2. The program called command center 2.0 that comes with the laptop is very glitchy. This software controls the fans and RGB keyboard. I believe it's because of this software I was having CPU heating problems. I've removed this software now and that is why you see the default blue light keyboard in the picture. So that's a huge bummer for me because I like the RGB lights but hesitant to use that software.
3. Keyboard is okay to type on and isn't very noisy
4. The power button isn't very clicky so you have to really push on it. It's a bit too soft and takes me a few tries to hit the power button. This is just me tho.
5. The battery pack is removable but it's got the rubber position thingy on it so if you use it without the battery, the laptop will wobble to one side. This is a dumb design decision to be honest. You are forced to charge the laptop and have battery in at the same time. I usually like to not have the battery in to prolong it's lifespan.
6. Trackpad is okay decent... At first I was having driver issues with it and had to reinstall the drivers to get it working.
7. Overall, it's a decent laptop with max specs but currently the windows OS has some faults. Like when you right click and choose new ... It takes 10-20 sec delay to show you further options. I'm not sure how to fix this yet.
8. It's generally quiet when not under pressure but sometimes when the fans kick in there is an annoying pitch sound I can't describe.
9. I would rate the laptop 8/10 and could recommend the laptop but you must know how to fix pc problems because you will get issues with the software.
Thanks for reading this review.
