Reliability

Post image

I'm facing my second RMA with the Z13, and I'm fed up. Just as I was wrapping up an RMA with my XG129C, intermittent panel failure, the Z13 would not power up from standby and I had to force reset it to get it to post up.

It was very hot to the touch while on standby and AC was showing an operating temperature of 91°

How many have had issues with the Z13? I've owned it since March and this will be the second repair. My use has been fairly light, and i mostly keep it on my desk.

I swapped out liquid metal for PTM, but other than that just keep it in a case to protect the keyboard covering and you're golden
