    Works decent, I use it for my laser machines, YouTube, lightburn, photo editing. I upgraded the ram to 24 gigs vs the 16 it came with.. The battery life isn't all that great, even when just doing mediocre stuff. This laptop has randomly shut off on me several times, which is annoying. The processor temps aren't very good either, 60-90c at times just using youtube or using laser machine programs with the fan profile set too max speeds, when in my basement that isn't heated so its 40-50 degrees in my basement during the winter. Overall, it does things decent no real lag or studder issues, just gets hot and shuts off randomly...

    I would up it to 4 1/2 stars, if I were able to. The finger prints do get somewhat distracting but there's no escaping the fact that this laptop will accrue fingerprints. The battery life could be alittle bit longer but if screen saver is on and max brightness isn't used too much, it'll last 5 to 6 hours straight with ease. It's a dependable computer.

    Very bad battery life, other than that it runs Dispatch and steam. But can’t actually run games like Fortnite or valorant. So this is not a good budget gaming laptop. When I’m at school I get 3-5 hours of just doing school stuff before it dies. Don’t recommend.

    Amazing computer. Great storage space. Poor battery life. You have to keep it plugged in for longtime use. Aslo fingerprint lock is pointless so if yousing finger image then make sure you also have a pin set up as well so tou xan unlock your laptop. Other than that i would recommend this laptop for storage and HEAVY game use
