The plastics feel good. Especially the trackpad, the finish on it is perfect and doesn’t give you the feeling that your finger will burn off like cheap plastic touch pads do. Honestly the plastics kind of remind me of the back of the new Samsung S21, which makes sense since it’s the same type of plastic.

@@GadgetConquest awesome, thanks!

Fan noise isn't bad, but it can get pretty loud under load. For a computer science student I'd say focus most of your attention on keyboard, battery life, and cpu.

@@GadgetConquest do you recommend any laptop?

I don't have the laptop yet but other reviewers mentioned that in a quiet room you can hear the fans no matter what, even on low performance settings. Basically this laptop has excellent thermals with a cost of quiet fans

In my experience so far, I only really hear the fans when they ramp up. But when they do ramp up, prepare for takeoff.

If you’re on a budget, absolutely.

I think the 300hz is kinda dumb because you’d need to be able to hit 300fps to truly take advantage of it and that’s just unrealistic in most cases. And I’m not really a fan of the 10750H performance, it’s lack luster.

I'd go with a 144hz model. Unless you're super competitive 300hz won't be of much use like ever

I haven’t experienced it. But faults do happen, so I wouldn’t be surprised.
