Amazing laptop. I had a 1050 gtx and changing to a 4050 rtx is breathtaking. Everything opens and runs really fast. I use it to develop 3D software using Blender and Unity and the laptop runs those programs without any problem. In fact, temperature is always below 65°C, but if you turn on the fan (max power) it goes down to 42°C. Talking about gaming, I can sum up like this: This laptop runs everything in Ultra without exceeding 65°C (using DLSS). There are 2 things that you may not like: size (because it has a 16in display, and it could be uncomfortable to carry the computer from one place to another) and the speakers (even though it uses DTS X, the speakers' sound could improve. However, since I use headphones it is not a big problem for me). Also!, battery life is not long lasting, of course it depends on the use, but overall, it lasts around 4 hours. In conclusion, this laptop is an amazing product, equipped with very good hardware. If you mainly use headphones/earphones, and you are willing to work with the charger connected, then I recommend it 100%. Excellent device!

This laptop has a perfect balance of computing power and budget. It has a 4050RTX graphics card and 16GB of RAM with a still relevant i5 processor which works well for all types of tasks, so running most games on max or very high settings will be no issue. Of the major downsides, I would name the unusual screen dimensions that make video recording and custom wallpapers difficult, HDMI and USB-C port placement on the back, the limited default HDD storage of 512GB (475 in actuality), and the somewhat cheesy GUI of the startup and system profile manager. The battery unplugged isn't really anything too special, but that's standard for gaming PCs. In fact, I would say its better than the usual, even if only by a slight margin. Overall, besides the display and at times tacky design choices, this is one of the best gaming laptops you can get at a budget of around 1,500.

I got it during Black Friday sales for $799. I really couldn't find any other Intel/Nvidia laptops with these specs and features at this price point. It has a 165Hz monitor at 400 nits which looks great. All the ports you need including Thunderbolt 4 that charges from a powerbank at 100W. A fully customizable RGB keyboard with a numpad. The included SSD is a top notch Gen4 drive that reaches around 7000MB/s reads which loads Windows and games really fast. The only downside is that it's 512GBs but that's remedied by an additional Gen4 M.2 slot. Runs everything I've throw at it max settings and over 60 FPS. You can dial back the setting for more FPS if you want. If you can catch this on sale I'll say go for it. You won't be disappointed.

For the price tag and a minor upgrade of a ssd for extra storage this is well worth the price and the preformance you get out of the box im able to run any game ultra settings the fan isnt very loud unless in turbo mode which i never have to use this laptop is overall a really great buy that doesnt break the bank and provides a long life span of use so it wont be out dated anytime soon

I have had this laptop for three to four weeks now, and I'm impressed. I wanted a beefy laptop so that I can make music alongside my everyday tasks, and this laptop is capable. For those of you who don't know, making music is an extremely cpu-intensive task. When I plug it in I have access to overclocking, and it runs whatever I throw at it just fine. I have also played some fairly light games on it, like Minecraft, and of course it ran that just fine. My only real complaint with this machine is that it's a real power sucker, even with more battery-friendly settings. In my experience, it lasts maybe three to four hours of constant use at most. Also, while I don't particularly mind owning a heavy laptop, if that's not for you, I would just be aware of it. Overall, I love it.
