Pros:

Newegg got me the laptop after 2 days using the free shipping :)

Cons:

The boot time is incredibly sloe for an NVMe SSD, I am averaging 3 minutes per boot. Some people have recommended upgrading the BIOS which I did to the latest A05 build but that did not resolve the issue. Additionally I tried disabling the free fall sensor but that didn't resolve the issue either.

The bigger problem I have is that the system is intermittently recognizing the 1TB hdd in the Bios but never in Windows. THis appears to be a bad hard drive from the factory.

Overall Review:

I will follow up with more information as I troubleshoot this further, but so far I have to say it is a big disappointment.
