Also you'll want to ask Xotic for a remote bios and vbios flash as Xotic is becoming a Prema partner. 

What are the benefits of Xotic being a Prema partner? I haven't been in the loop as of late, where laptops are concerned.

Peripherals - Corsair K70 Lux RGB | Corsair Scimitar RGB | Audio-technica ATH M50X + Antlion Modmic 5 |

CPU/GPU history: Athlon 6000+/HD4850 > i7 2600k/GTX 580, R9 390, R9 Fury > i7 7700K/R9 Fury, 1080TI > Ryzen 1700/1080TI > i7 9700K/1080TI.
