Purchased the following laptop for Christmas in order to replace a 10 year old Vaio because of its size.

Heat
While being used as a work machine on a wooden desk there is no noticeable heat coming through the keyboard.
Speakers
You can listen to some music but I would advise you to get some external speakers since they aren't as loud as you might want to think
Connectivity
Pretty much everything you could ask for and a bit more as shown in the picture there is a power socket, USB-C, HDMI and 2 display ports on the rear.
For work
This thing is fast! The 6 cores of the i7 8750H processor is going to handle pretty much anything you throw at it while using it as a workstation. Compiling large and complex programs is going to happen much quicker than a lower powered laptop. The screen is good enough that my eyes don’t feel stressed even after a long day of work. Colour is reproduced well and 1080p on a 15.6 inch screen is enough for me. It boots in less than 10 secs with my NVME hard drive, and I really love sitting down to work on this thing.
The low key look of the laptop also means that I am very happy to take it with me into a meeting.
Windows 10 makes it very easy to limit CPU usage to make the laptop completely silent through the advanced power settings management, a really useful setting for when you aren’t doing anything taxing and would just like silence.
Battery life is roughly 2 hours using the laptop for browsing, light programming and word processing. Pretty abysmal but to be expected with a processor this powerful.
I get this annoying error when booting up in the Windows event log which after searching I found out that I need to upgrade the bios or that the pc has issues. If anyone has any ideas plz msg me cause I didn't find an upgrade to the bios so far.
The speed of processor XX in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 73982 seconds since the last report.
Other than that everything seems to work fine.
