I preferred bare bone, if you put stickers later on when you want to peel off the surface which is covered by the sticker might have different color from other parts. Happen to my other laptop before.

I owned a Selenite more than about a week now, I can say that it is a nice gaming laptop. So I will just skip the good part of this laptop.

I will just mention noticeable problems straight away. After one week of using it, I noticed several problems as shown below:
1. Copying large files (normally more than 10 GB from SSD to ext. HDD most of the time will stuck at 99% forever.

2. I can hear a cracking/pop sound whenever I play a music or video or even game.

3. I feel that the left side speaker is slightly louder than right side speaker. Which means the output is unbalanced. Maybe due to the internal subwoofer location installed on the right side causing the unbalance of the audio.

4. When I plug in my earphone, there is no sound coming out from my earphone. The sound instead is produced from the speaker. So I have to replug several times only then I can get the sound from earphone.
These problems are rather irritating during daily use. Not sure if there is any tip from you guys. On the other hand, I am thinking to reset the laptop one time to see if everything is resolved or not.

1. I have no problem on my unit. I have done several back up to my external before, so far everything is good on my side

2. Mine still have the popping sound but its minimal after i did some tweaking.

3. Im not sure, so far i havent notice it cos i rarely use the speaker

4. Mine working flawlessly. Been using the earphone every day.

The only thing that bother me right now is the power button, I cant seem to turn it on once, usually need to press it 2 or 3 times even plug in with power brick.

2. Mind to share how you do it? Thanks.

I change the power management setting for the speaker. You could try it but there is no guarantees
you have to disable it through regedit > hkey_current_user > Software > Realtek > Audio > RtknguAudUService > enable > 0

Normally for plugged in, one time should be fine. Only when it runs with battery, need to hold for 2 seconds only it can on.
Yes, i already know that during my first purchase. But in my case ,single press doesn't usually turn on the laptop. Mostly have to try 2 times

Well Im using the 1st version of selenite so the newer selenite pro might be a better variation. To be honest, the selenite pro is still a great buy because the configuration option is better then mine was. I really like the additional TB3 and bigger 92Wh Battery. I dont think other brand offer such spec with that price.

Can you try these steps:

1. Install Realtek audio driver first.
2. Install SoundBlaster APPXBUNDLE file by double clink it. Do not run after installation.
3. Install CreativeAudioEffectsComponentInstaller.
4. Install SPKEQ_TF_PCAPP
5. Perform Windows update throughly.
6. Open Microsoft Store, select Downloads and Updates, click on SoundBlaster app. It would initiates update by itself momentarily.

Im trying to reinstall the soundblaster app on the laptop but I still cant manage to make it work properly. Is there other updates that i should know?
