Great laptop with minor cons
Pros: Owned this laptop for 2 weeks, so far so good for gaming. Played battlefield V nice and smoothly on ultra setting. Temperature around 65-70c depending on room temperature.
Cons: No display port. Dont know how to use G-sync as most monitors need display port to run g-sync. Battery does seem to run out very fast, 1-2 hours of light browsing.
Overall Review: I would recommend this laptop to others but Ill not buy on Newegg again. Paid for 1day shipping on Thursday and tracking number was out in same day but didnt receive my laptop till following week Tuesday, and Newegg refuses to refund the shipping fee. This is not the Newegg few years back.
DOA
Pros: quiet fan
Cons: Tested once when it just arrived. after 10 days I put it into my new build computer but it wasnt working anymore. I tested again with wire and my old motherboard and it didn't work!. sigh. bad luck i guess?
great wifi extender
Pros: I set this little wifi extender with wired setting (connected to the original router) which it will give the extender max speed from the router. The extender is placed right next to the router. (btw my router is from verizon with plan 150mb/150mb). NOW, at same place in basement, before I get 4 bars signal from the router, now I get full 5 bars from the extender! and the speed from the router is max. 30mb download. now from the extender I get max 80mb!!!!!!!! can't be happier !~!!
Cons: none yet
Overall Review: I bought this product for boosting my wifi speed and signal strength which it works! I dont if this little extend would get disc randomly. I guess i will find it out. ~! if it gets disconnect randomly ill come back and write another review. Great product and very cheap price!
!!!great laptop
Pros: small, light, very nice looking. I haven't use it for anything yet. but i just love this laptop just by how it looks now. worth the money! I'm planing to buy another one after this review!
Cons: none yet
This is a update for "Physical damage"
Pros: NA
Cons: After Gigabyte showing me the "damage" that I done to the motherboard (which i didn't) I now know that the damage was on the corner of the motherboard. I received a completely new product. The siverplastic for the motherboard was all sealed! However, the corner of the MB was bended. And yes I thought this was the design for the mb with a bended corner since it was actually working at beginning. (this is my first time buildin a PC. who would ever done such dmg to mb? bend the whole corner of a mb? ). I blame gigabyte for having a product like this packed. Gigabyte told me my warranty was voided since there was "physical damage". Yet, I received a MB with bended corner right out of the box. There was nothing I can do. So I called Newegg for help. Apparently I can't return this MB to newegg since i've cut out the UPC tag. However After showing Newegg the pictures,Newegg was nice enough to give me a 50 dollars refund if I buy another mb from them.
Overall Review: I rated 5eggs only for Newegg, for having supper nice customer support. Newegg has never disappointed me! 1 Egg for Gigabyte customer support. As they didn't really care what happened to me. As I said I would not but any product from Gigabyte again. I don't want to received another item like this MB and have helpless customer support from Gigabyte. THANK YOU NEWEGG!!!!!!!NEWEGG ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! AS ALWAYS.
Physica damage?
Pros: it does overclocking.
Cons: Buyers be aware that you might not be able to get a replacement/fix when your motherboard is died. I bought this Motherboard 3 weeks ago, used it for a week and half. It stopped working after during a boot. I RMA it to Gigabyte cuz I did my mail in rebate. Yet, I got a reply that my Motherboard was Physically damaged. "Due to physical damage, the warranty on this gigabyte product is voided and the item is being returned as is. The PCB is damaged." thats all they replied in email. I couldn't believe that......I've only took out my MB once which was for installing the fan! I was very careful about every parts of my PC since its my first time building a PC. The motherboard was sitting in the case working for whole week! and it stopped working during a boot!!! and yet they said i did physical damage to the board......
Overall Review: If they return me this died MB, with no replacement or anything... I would never buy Gigabyte products again. NEVER!
