Our analyses and conclusions are based on the conditions of the notebook out-of-the-box. Since Xotic PC units come overclocked and ready to go, our measurements related to temperatures, fan noise, performance, and battery life may be different from a stoc...

Our first opinion on the notebook stays the same – it looks like a ROG device, but doesn't leave the same impression. The build quality isn't what we are used to seeing on a ASUS ROG notebook – the plastic feels cheap (except for the interior, the interio...
