Despite the fact that it is rather large and heavy, finding a laptop with an 8GB 1060 and running a HQ processor is really expensive. For the price, I'd have to look at the performance per dollar just to see if I'd consider it, but I like what I'm seeing so far.

Bad screen, loud and very hot under load, Negative battery time, average keyboard

From the little reviews that i have seen on youtube i have heard it does run fairly quiet and thermals are fine however i do agree that the batter could be increased seeing that its only a 3200 mah. Where are you getting your information about bad thermals from?

I do think this is a good laptop for the price anyway

I think the thermal system is fine. I've seen better. Shit battery life is true. (Screen is replaceable聽#diy)
