### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ CHANGE FACTORY SETTINGS!!!!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 4 March 2025*

LISTEN UP!You MUST go into the hidden bios and turn down the power limit from P1 and P2 to 80w and 120w. Also, you need to enable overclocking so it will actually get benefits from these power limits.It was factory set to disable overclocking AND maintain a power draw of 200w???? This laptop got EXTREMELY hot, and i understand why because of these settings, but the average Joe isn’t gonna know to deep dive into a bunch of settings to fix things.Since I’ve made these changes, the laptop runs sooooooo much cooler, quieter, and faster! It was really sluggish at first because of thermal throttling, I legit started a return and packed it up to be sent back.But then I gave it another chance and deep dived into the intimidating settings and fixed the poor thing, and it’s sooooo snappy! It responds and loads applications wildly fast, I actually feel like I got this thing for an absolute STEAL at $1,000!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excelente
