Wow, 4.4 kg! Do you carry your gaming laptop around much?

Just looking at the keyboard and size of this thing, seeing 4.4kg mentioned, it’s a bog NO NO to buy such thing.

LOL, under full load it overheats so much the CPU actually enters safe mode and throttles itself down to 1.2GHz to prevent burning out. That’s a big problem right there. The chips don’t do that without a damn good overheat reason.

Sorry folks, it was good while it lasted.
