We purchased this gaming computer during the July 4th sale and scored a fantastic deal. It’s fast, performs well, and my son is thrilled with his new setup. He mainly plays Fortnite and recently made the jump from an iPad to a PC—this system easily handles the game with smooth performance and no lag. As others have mentioned, the keyboard does feel a bit cheap in comparison to the rest of the build, which is otherwise high-quality aluminum. However, since we connected it to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, the onboard keyboard isn’t an issue for us. Considering the specs—RAM, storage, graphics card, and overall performance—it’s absolutely worth the price we paid. Great mid-level option for any gamer!

I think this is the best Laptop which comes with all the specifications for the Gamers as well as the Machine Learning Engineers. It has 2TB of storage and 32 gb of ram which allows me to run LLM on my local machine and it works superb. The thermal management is also so good that it handles the processes accordingly and runs the fan when needed. Also I have played many Games on highest fps. It works like a charm. I would say if anyone is looking for a good laptop which had good display, specs and a good memory management, this is a perfect fit. Also the built quality is so good that it feels premium.
