    It was a very positive experience for me.The staff is very friendly and attentive.
    Especially Jenny from sales department.
    All my questions was answered fast.So in one word i much satisfied.
    The only one thing i was disappointed when get it to home i was unable boot windows. It booted straight to troubleshooting options and no one from them worked. I was unable to fix it even from command prompt.
    But ok it was not a big deal. Windows iso>rufus + 15 min
    and i got this beast bring me to desktop.
    Ive checked everything, swapped HDD to Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SATA SSD,cleaned
    windows from bloatware. Now everything seems good but need more testing.
    My next laptop will from HIDEvolution with no doubt despite this Windows confusion.
    And sorry my bad english please.
    Peace all.

    congrats man! let me know if you want me to help you tweak it over TeamViewer, these are the Phoenix Tweaks:

    1- Uninstallation of all the Windows Store Garbage Apps like 3D Paint, Print 3D, Alarms & Clock, Feedback Hub, Maps, Groove Music, News, Weather, etc.
    2- Removing all Windows 10 Privacy Invasion stuff like Telemetry, sending your keystrokes to Microsoft, automatically installing suggested apps in the background, allowing Microsoft to conduct experiments on your laptop, disabling automatic driver updates through Windows updates, disabling Windows 10 ads, disabling Cortana, Cloud Search etc.
    3- Removal of nVIDIA and Intel Telemetry
    4- Adjusting a lot of options in PC Settings like disabling Windows Tablet Mode (you have a laptop not a tablet), disabling suggestions appearing in the start menu, disabling automatically connecting to Paid WiFi Hotspots, disabling Game DVR which reduced performance in games, and a lot more.
    5- Replacing Cortana with a much better search tool that finds results instantly called Everything which finds any file you want as soon as you start typing even a few letters of its name and it doesn't even rely on the Windows Indexing Service to do this!
    6- Restoring the classic Windows Photo Viewer
    7- Restoring the Classic Windows 7 Start Menu
    8- Removal of the new and useless 3D Objects Folder that appears when you open "Computer"
    9- Completely disabling Windows Defender from its roots (including all scheduled tasks and startup files) for those who want to install their own AV. ESET NOD32 Antivirus is highly recommended if you want the utmost security with the least system performance impact.

    Hey, nice buy m8, just wanna ask, that fhd display panel, is it 60hz or 120hz?
    And also how are the temps during hardcore gaming??
    Also is the prema bios installed, or they said to install it afterwards?

    Dont you think a 1070 is just too overkill for a 75hz 1080p? Just asking. Also is screen OCable? @Phoenix
