I have been having my Recoil II Pro for 4 months and it is absolutely an incredible laptop.
My specs:
- Intel® Core™ i7 Six Core Processor 8750H
- 20GB Corsair 2400MHz SODIMM DDR4
- NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 - 6.0GB GDDR5 Video RAM
- Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2 SSD
- ADATA SU800 M.2 2280 256GB M.2 SSD
- Samsung 850 Pro 512GB 2.5'' SSD
- Cooler Master Mastergel Thermal Compound
- Killer Wireless 1550 M.2
Pros:
- stunning display; you'd be forgiven for thinking it is IPS (it is actually VA)
- amazingly thin bezzels
- amazingly thin laptop (no competitor as slim and as performant as this laptop in the same price range)
- very high performance
- lots of ventilation space, usually stays cool
- beautiful multi-colour backlit keyboard with a numeric keys pad
- no noisy cooling
- very good connectivity
- lots of storage options (I installed 3 SSDs in it)
- will work great with a multi-monitor setup (in my case: laptop monitor + 21:9 1080p monitor + 4K monitor)
- low price for a premium laptop
Cons:
- No Thunderbolt (I really hate this)
- No HDMI 2.0 (only 1.4)
- No DP1.4 (only 1.3 - not as important as getting an upgraded HDMI on this)
- Not sure what that USB2.0 is doing there
- I would have loved seeing some enhanced networking capabilities such as dual LAN ports or 10Gbpe Lan ports like that MSI laptop everyone talks about has
