Product Manuals

Q: Can this 51M be delivered home?

A: Yes, these are deliverable, and Best Buy is fantastic in their processing times. The issue, however, is the product. Good luck if you throw your money away on the A51. Received a brand-new, factory-sealed box with a non-functional device. Disservice line wasted hours flipping through manuals (could hear it over the phone) and the only thing they could do was take it back, assess the problem and give me a quote for repairs. NEVER EVER again. If you buy "D" you are surely going to get D'd.

Q: Is it 1tb hdd + 256ssd or 1tb hybrid drive + 256ssd?

A: It has a 256gb solid state drive and a 1tb 5400 RPM Seagate hybrid drive. For the price it's a great configuration. I highly recommend for gaming, replacing that hybrid drive with a solid state.

Q: Where does it state that this model comes with a 144 Hertz display?

A: Under Specifications, but it does come with a 144 hertz screen.

Q: What’s the battery life?

A: This laptop comes with TWO full power bricks, you need to plug both of them if you want to experience full graphic experience. The CPU is desktop level 9700 and consider you have a full desktop RTX card, your battery is going to be drain out about 45min to 1 hour.

Q: Can it run Crysis?

A: I’ve been running destiny 2 on full specs for h9urs on end and haven’t had any issues.
