Fantastic for gaming and regular use
Pros: Great for high frame per second and build quality is great and temperature control is great.. Cons: loud fans when playing demanding games only usually and the laptop screen could be better like if it was UHD instead of Full HD+ and better black levels but you could always use a external monitor, the laptop has HDMI 2.1 and thunderbolt 4.. recommend: laptop cooler for better temperatures if needed
