Small nitpick, but it's important to be that the keyboard is back lit blue. I know that's pretty silly, but it's important to me that I love something that I'm investing a lot of money in. Otherwise, it would be nice if it had good fans (had overheating issues in the past) and good speakers.

The mothers day sale for the TRACER II 15 GTX 1070 from Cyberpower is pretty big, it's $400 off. How is this laptop? The keyboard says that it's RGB, does that mean it can change from the red displayed in the picture to blue?
