Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Hello. Just recently acquired the new E5-576G-5762 (8th gen i5 with Nvidia 150mx) and have to say that this laptop is extremely decent. Thanks to its SSD, it boots Windows 10 pretty fast, bloatware is kept to a minimum (please uninstall Norton before doing anything else. :p), and the machine is definitely zippy. Haven't added more RAM nor extra HDD but planning to do so (and update the "review" when I do). Battery life is touted at 12 hours and I pretty much doubt it will reach that milestone (unless you are using the screen at 30% or less maybe) but it does give you at least 6 to 7 hours using it for browsing, writing, etc. Oh, and the Nvidia card is plenty capable for gaming at medium settings at least (Grid Autosport FPS avg is in the 80s/90s or so) Initial assessment: + Great and fast CPU and overall fast PC performance + Backlight KB and travel feels pretty nice on the keys. + Decent quantity of available ports + It has a DVD drive :o + Upgrade possibilities + Decent Full HD screen (might be the 'crappiest' thing on it and it is still good for the price) - Trackpad is too finicky and not my favorite - IT RUNS HOT!!!!! That is the major con for me. Running GRID benchmark, it got to a high 92/93 degrees C!!! Same thing when running 3DMark :o I think Intel CPUs limit is 100 C and it will probably start throttling to maintain a decent temperature. I guess we could probably undervolt (will look into that) or see if one of those rest 'things' with fans could help. (Do note that this is at room temp 60-something Fahrenheit. I live in the Caribbean were temps are usually 80+ so when I go back I need to retry the test and watch the temps. Other than that, haven't found any major problems, but it's been only 3 days... Need to play with it a bit more. As of now, for $600 or less, this is a nice buy. Thanks
