Optimus 15.6" Laptop

Had to get a new laptop after my old one was dying a slow death (inverter died whenever I pushed the screen down, recurring wifi driver issues and the hdd coming to the end of its life). After spending to much time browsing laptops from major brand manufacturers that never had all the specs I was looking for within my budget, I was pleasantly surpised to find that you could (even if via third party) build your own custom laptop.

So far very pleased with this machine. Have currently used it for gaming and general daily use, though planning to make a linux dual boot for my informatics work. The build is lightweight yet sturdy. The webcam's position in the bottom of the screen is not great, but not the end of the world. The front of the chassis can get pretty hot while gaming, but I haven't noticed any thermal throttling. Fans can be loud, but I'm already used to wearing headphones so it's not noticeable in my case. keyboard is rather 'compressed' when compared to my old laptop depsite them being same size, and the shift keys are rather squashed so there'll be an adjustment period. Batery life is not the best, but knew that when I bought it so suprise there.

Thanks for sharing! How is the battery life when you're web browsing? I'm looking into this model too, the only thing that's frustrating is the location of the webcam as I do need to do video calls for work.
