So far, a solid performer
Loaded with features, running an 17-3820 without any trouble. Little weirdness when you go into the BIOS with a wireless keyboard attached, but could be the keyboard's going bad. Love the DualBIOS toggle on the back, great for testing out settings and having a backup to fall back on in case something goes wrong. Good purchase!
