You have to adjust a few settings, but battery life of 8-10 hours under non-gaming use is doable. It's also only 3.5 pounds which gives you loads of portability.

The G15 is on sale today, seems like a good buy. I'm very tempted.

All problems like these are model specific. You will find similar problems at any brand, depending on the model.

Prices are really steady even after a year. This is about what I paid for nearly the same system a year ago and it even had a larger 1TB SDD.

they have a warehouse deal at 1268$ if you want to bring it down an extra 100$... but it's risky to buy warehouse for sure

I got one. Only gripe is my F key. It doesn't always trigger if you hit it slightly off-centre.

Quite impressed. I rarely care about battery life; haven't even tested that yet. Haven't even noticed it heating up, and I played fortnite with my son for more than an hour.

The 4800H is a gem!

After living with a MacBook the touchpad feels horrid, but it's decent compared to other laptops I've had.

You need a USB-C dongle if you want to go up a 3rd screen. I got a cheapy ($25?) from Amazon and it runs the [email protected] over HDMI exactly like the HDMI port runs on the other screen.
Bonus points for also then having the option to hook my Android to an HDMI display and/or giving it a USB port.

512GB won't cut it for long with today's 80GB+ games, so I'll probably get a SATA SSD unless I can confirm that the 2nd NVMe works now.
