[2020] AERO 15S OLED XB Thin+Light High Performance Laptop, 15.6" 4K UHD OLED Display w/ 100% DCI-P3, GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q, i7-10875H, 16GB DDR4

Let me be clear: this review is not due to the seller, who worked with me on the issues that they could solve. This review is solely about the product.Now, for the product. I actually liked it, honestly. The display was large and very bright, performance was decent, it feels very solid. I didnt have too many complaints. Wifi was a bit finicky, the software to control the rgb keyboard was hard to find, and this is actually a 2020 model sold as brand new. This is what ultimately bit me.This laptop is a 2020 model, which I bought in 2025. It is 16g with 1t of storage, but this is advertised as upgradable. Advice: dont.First issue i had was that the power brick that came with the laptop forgot how to power. It didn't provide any voltage at all, something I verified with a multimeter. I ordered another and the seller was kind enough to reimburse me, so far so good. It turns out, though, that this laptop has a battery protection mode that only gets turned off when its first plugged in. So... that actually doesn't work, believe it or not. It turned on anyway, after a while.So I was humming along, getting it set up the way I wanted (including an update to windows 11, which it supports, if barely) and i thought id upgrade to 64g and add another terabyte of storage.The terabyte of storage arrived, I popped off the back (which popped off easily to its credit), disconnected the battery, installed the storage.. and poof. Bricked.Not just bricked, super ultra mega amazing hontouni hontouni mechakucha AMAZINGLY bricked. Like, it looks like the PCH shorted. Which is an amazingly expensive repair. There's no solution to this at all that won't cost a LOT of money. And I can't even find a replacement motherboard.Installing an SSD (i was a good boy and even disconnected the battery) should not cause this kind of damage.So now I have an $1100, chonky and well built, very pretty, paperweight.Because of this, I have no choice but to give it one star.You might have better luck than I did, but if you dont need the admittedly AMAZING screen, get something a little more recent and better supported. You'll thank me later.
