Beast mode and room to expand
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This is my second nitro 5 in 18 months. Bought this one for my DJ business. So far I’m impressed. I added 64gb of ram, a 4tb 2.5 and a 2tb nvme. If your needing a beast mode machine this is one to look at. Plenty of room for storage expansion inside. Plenty of power for almost any task. I constantly have 3-4 monitors running via hdmi and usbc dock. Drives them all in full 4k and renders live visuals while I dj, and runs the dj software, and records, and live streams. All at the same time.

Great!
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.So far this is a great machine. It stays relatively cool (for a laptop) and is fast. It’ll run Forza Horizon 5 at 100FPS in High or 45FPS in ultra. My only minor complaint is how much the material shows fingerprints. The red keyboard is also amazing to my inner nerd child

Review for the gamers
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.First gaming laptop ever and i love it! My 10 year old laptop crashed and i was using it to learn to code and needed a replacement. This one has all the specs and speed i wanted plus i can game on it! As far as speed and performance goes it boots up from off to on im seconds and opens apps and web pages faster than ive ever been used to. For the gamers out there i know this is what you are interested in as far as reviews on gaming laptops. Im not the biggest gamer and only play a few in all honesty. Going from the ps4 to this is night and day! Rainbow six seige on this machine is a total game changer! Im getting an average of 230fps on seige on ultra settings and it handles it! I did the benchmark test after hitting "auto detect" in graphics settings and it hit 107% ov vram used meaning it will borrow from the regularly ram of the computer since i taxed my graphics card out. And it plays just fine with no hiccups! I just added the crucial 32gb of ram and its just the same as when i had the stock 16gb of ram. Im murfin em on rb6 real talk at the 230fps ultra settings! As far as the 32 gb upgrade goes i followed a youtube video and it was a pice of cake! I never made a computer i just code and this was my forst time opening one up and it was really simple. This computer has the "nitro sence" button which opens the settings for the fans and power and when gaming i just hot max on the fans. You can in the nitre sence window click nvida and then go in and if you opt for it and click accept the disclamer nvida will auto overclock your graphics card for you so no need to download msi overclock. Yes its a conservative tune but its tuned by THE MAKERS OF THE CARD!! I feel its a safer option for those who want to overclock their graphics card. I got it on sale at the $899 price and couldn't be happier! The pic I posted is the rb6 results after the games benchmark test, at the stock 16gb of ram. I dont know the battery life as I've only used it plugged in.

Little Beast
Posted .This is awesome beauty a really really fast machine this is the best deal out there got it in just 1000 USD (sales & tax inclusive). I have worried a little bit about when I saw some reviews of getting the dead machine. And I also face a similar thing myself but to tackle this issue just push the charging cable as hard as possible until you listen to the "click" sound otherwise you will also think that it is Dead. The only draw back in the machine is that battery is draining little too quickly
