Question 1

A 144hz IPS Display, GTX 1070, Coffee lake i7 processor for such a low price?
Seems like an amazing value for buck. 
But come on, what's the catch here? The thermals? The 5400 rpm HDD? There has to be something preventing this from being the best selling laptop. There has be a few cons to this laptop. I'm curious about them.
