Excellent laptop all around for a slim gaming PC. This laptop has 16gb soldered ram and 512gb SSD already installed. I waited for prices to drop and when they did I seized the opportunity quick on one of these devices. I also upgraded the ram with an additional 32gb Crucial stick in the empty ram slot ($90 from $140) and an additional 4TB Crucial P310 NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 4x4 SSD in the empty SSD slot ($200 from $250) since deals were plenty. I bought this laptop as an open box excellent clearance sale for a total of around $1100. I plan on upgrading the original SSD and swapping it out for another crucial 2TB SSD when that goes on sale for about $100. After all the upgrades the total cost should be just under $1500. For $1500 I believe this is the best value slim gaming laptop on the market for its year due to its upgrade ability with the additional ram and SSD slots. Great screen and all around specs for gaming and light creative work. Speakers are on par with MacBooks. Fits in most regular sized backpacks. Feels about a light 7lbs with the charger in backpack. Holds performance with USB-C charging. Battery life and performance is great for about 2+ hrs continuous gaming with no charge, depending on the game. Doesn’t get too hot. If you play over 3+ hours nonstop I suggest a laptop fan cooler stand. I also recommend to set the charging capabilities to 80% to extend the life of the battery since this laptop is a keeper for the FHD resolution gamers alike. Lastly, my open box excellent device only had a small indentation on the top right of the screen side back plate but does not cause any issue with the screen itself.

Great laptop highly recommend, i take this to work all the time and its a beast. Gaming drains the battery fast while, doing basic stuff like homework it can remain on upwards to 8 hrs +without charging. Got no complaints with the fhd. I will say the fan can be a little loud and 512 gb is a little small. But upgrading the ram and ssd is surprisingly pretty cheap. Highly recommend.
