Pros: This laptop is sleek and sexy, even thinner and lighter than I thought, yet still running my games that I've tried so far with aplomb at maximum settings. I didn't know just how much I needed a 144 hz screen in my life. And I'm particularly glad that I waited for the rtx 30 series to become available before getting my next laptop, because now I'm even more convinced that this will be future proof for quite a while. It may seem silly but my favorite feature may actually be the keyboard. I use a steelseries keyboard on my desktop PC and this is the same deal - responsive, real keys, with individual, programmable lighting. I also particularly like the long power cord. Just the cord from the outlet to the brick is as long as the entire cord from outlet to brick to laptop of my last one.

Cons: As you might expect, especially from a thin laptop that is also a gaming laptop, it can run a bit warm. But it actually isn't getting anywhere near as hot as my previous laptop despite being much more powerful, and I already have a cooling pad anyway, so I don't consider it a real concern. Just get a cooling pad, which you should have for a gaming laptop anyway.

Overall Review: I haven't encountered any actual problems. It worked great out of the box, no dead screen pixels or anything. I'd happily recommend it.
