So far pretty good.
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Got this a few weeks ago. Played gta5, control,nioh, and the new halo multiplayer. Each game under recommend settings and it played each one nicely. Only gta dropped below 60 fps but i hear the pc port is kinda meh so it may be the game not the laptop. It does run hot so i would recommend a cooling stand. I have not come across any problems so far but in the two weeks I've owned it i haven't had much time. Will update by the end of the month cause i wanna see how it handles the campaign for halo.

Ok for an open box
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.I bought this for a gift but my son went and bought a new Alienware one so I have an extra computer. Its ok for an open box except it took forever to upgrade to windows 11. Also today it wouldn't turn on at all. I guess the battery went dead so calling support tomorrow. Plus it says 16gb memory but only has 12gb its possible that the first person who bought it changed the memory. Alao the box was torn up I'm amazed it got to me at all

Coincidence or Poor Laptop choice?
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Initially wanted to wait for about 2 weeks before giving a review but something just happened and I decided to write it anyway. This is my second G15 laptop, the first laptop blacked out and never came on after 10 days of purchase. My girlfriend and my cousin asked me to just get a Mac Book but I decided to get a second one. The current laptop just had a slight error with booting up when I got it but it's been fine so far till today (as I'm writing this review...7 days after my purchase). My display just flickered for about 5seconds for absolutely no reason. My girlfriend has been laughing her head off. I'm very close to taking this back and looking for a different laptop or just outrightly getting a MacBook, I'm getting tired of having to set up my laptop every two weeks.

Battery Life is the Only Downside I have found...
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I've had this for almost a month now. The laptop works great. I have no complaints with it's performance except that the battery life is subpar. If you are buying this to be mobile and need to rely on battery power for long periods of time, keep looking. This isn't for you. If you're like me and just like being able to move from the living room to the office with ease, this should work fine. I got more than what I paid for by buying this through their open box program. Couldn't give it 5 stars due to the battery issue, but that's all I could find wrong.

fast enough, little lag, WORST BATTERY LIFE
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Overall good laptop for playing the games I play on it. Haven’t experienced any overheating that has cause gaming issues(does get warm quickly though). Graphics card holds up decently. However for a laptop the battery life while game is less than 30 minutes unplugged. And this started as of day one out of the box after updating everything. Quite surprised but just know that this is a laptop that’ll need to be next to a plug if you plan to use it for gaming for more than 15 minutes.

Why you should get this laptop
||Posted .PROS 1. Great graphic card for gaming. 2. 16GB ram is plenty for whatever you need to do. 3. 120hz is great for gaming and basic web browsing. And you won't find the difference between a 144hz. 4. It's quiet, sturdy, lightweight compared to other gaming laptops. 5. 512GB storage isn't the best, but you can always upgrade to 1TB (if needed) CONS 1. You kind of have to press hard on the touchpad "click" p.s. I am a desktop analyst.

Q: QuestionI know this is a basic question that applies to all computers but what is the difference between storage and memory? I don't need to game on a computer but I DO transfer a lot of photos and videos from my phone. Which do I need more of? Thanks!
Asked by CAWeston01.
- A:Answer The memory(RAM) of a system refers to the location of short-term data and the storage(SSD/HDD) allows you to store and access data on a long-term basis. Another important difference between memory and storage is that memory clears when the computer is turned off.
