    I would like to buy the Aero 15x but what are these firmware issues everyone is talking about?

    So I like the size, the screen, the internals, the better keyboard but I hear lot of people saying "Aero is plagued by firmware" issues. What does that mean? like it has random blue-screen? Are these issues that I can ignore or is it something that prevents the laptop from being functional?

    I have a Aero 14 , the bluescreens I had where directly related to NVIDIA and Intel display drivers updated it via the vendors websites installation files and had none since.

    Depending on the GPU you have you may have heat issues as the chassis is small.

    I have a 1050ti and thermals are just in check an underclock helps. If you have a 1060 or more then I suspect there maybe some thermal issues which could add to bluescreens or under performance of the hardware. Not to mention the reducing the lifespan of the hardware.
