another piece of poo poo that runs bizarrely hot and also has a power adapter that will draw more sustained power than its rated for under load which is obviously a fantastic thing.

i have a class colleague that has a ROC asus laptop, he once was smug about his win 10 upgrade and was showing me his virtual desktops while i worked on my linux, after showing me his virtual desktops and him tabbing back into ms word the laptop bluescreens with a gpu driver error. Same laptop burned itself a few weeks later and asus took a month to repair it lmao

I've seen reports of ghosting on the 1080p, my only issue with 4k is there is no 4k content. Netflix don't do 4k over web (yet), it seems like having the UI scaling is a must. It's like once you have 4k you need to end up making it act like 1080 all the time
