Good... But...
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Pros: Excellent keyboard, 120hz display, graphics capable of running Horizon: Zero Dawn and Outer Worlds at 60fps, expandable via 1 open m.2 slot and up to 32gb of RAM. Cons: weak ram (8gb) out of the gate, Display color accuracy could be much better, bottom case is difficult to open, plastic construction makes build quality feel cheap, heat can be an issue. Overall a favorable impression, given the price point and specs, but the build quality suffers one big issue for me: there's a noticeable bump or bulge (see photos) that's been there since I got it; I can't quite figure out where its coming from or why it's there, but it creates a small gap around that bubble (~1-2mm) between keyboard deck and display when closed. I don't THINK it's impacting the sleep/wake cycle.

Fast computer on a budget!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great computer for beginner gamers and fairly inexpensive. It starts up quickly; the graphics are terrific, and it even works well with multiple screens when you hook up more than one (I've got two 32inch monitors hooked up to it—one with HDMI and one with a USB Type C to HDMI cable). It also streams video like nobody's business (Youtube, Netflix, HBOMax, Hulu, etc.). And the wireless on this this laptop is better than I have experienced on any computer. It's cheaper to buy the 8GB RAM version of the laptop and then add the extra 8GB RAM yourself—it's cheaper that way. However, if you're going to add more RAM, I would make sure it's 3200 MHz and you might want to have someone at Best Buy help you get the back casing off to put the RAM in because the screws can be a pain to get out (it's easy to strip them). Also, be aware that the only USB 3.0 port is at the back of the laptop—none are on the side. All in all, terrific computer!!!

MUST BUY
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I may have a slightly biased review coming from a person who’s last computer was a 2013 MacBook, but this computer is fantastic. $800 for a computer with Ryzen 5 was more than enough to convince me to buy. The boot speed is insane, the GUI is beautiful, and the computer is very able to handle even the highest graphic games easily. Best purchase of the year. I love this machine.

Q: QuestionAre you able to upgrade ram, storage, etc.? What am I able to change in this laptop?
Asked by Landon.
- A:Answer There is an open M.2 slot so you can add one additional NVMe drive. Out of the box, the G15 comes with one stick of 8GB 3200MHz DDR4 RAM, there are two slots for RAM. I installed a second stick of 8GB RAM for some noticeable performance increases...the motherboard supposedly supports up to 64GB of dual-channel RAM.
