    This thing is an absolute monster for a lap top. Can pretty much run anything and good for gaming on the go.

    For the make and the parts this performed well. It could handle all the games I threw at it. It didn’t like having more than 20 Edge tabs and office word going without having some glitches and getting really warm. Battery life about 8 hours steady. The storage is a little small at 500GB and It was a little bulkier and slightly heavier than I like for a “15.6 gaming laptop” but overall if you don’t pay more than 700 before tax. Not bad still gives enough left to upgrade SSD and RAM

    Bought this for when I have work trips and it's a great laptop. It can run many games but don't expect anything past 60fps - have no issues with loading. However when I connected my external microphone my friends said it sounded crunchy; so be aware that external mics may sound a bit lesser quality than normal if you connect it. I had no performance issues (then again I play things like FFXIV and cozy games). Great for being on the go. Battery life is okay if you're not gaming.

    Nice gaming laptop. Only problem with it being a Windows OS is the short battery life. As it functions as both my gaming and work laptop, I need to bring my charger whenever I take it out to a coffee shop.

    Overall, if only care abour the game performance it is a really good laptop! Runs every game fine, like Elden rings, Black Myth Wukong. And the lap stays cool, it usually stays around 75, not warm. HOWEVER! The fan can get unacceptable loud. The fan has a very annoying high pitch, in balance mode, it can get easily to 60db, and when in performance, it can go to 70bd, even to 80bd on max fan. Unless you wear a headphone with good noise cancellation or isolation, otherwise it really affect your experience in gamming. Return to beatbuy at last due to noisy fan.

    For the price, the machine is unbeatable. A 13th gen 17 with a 4060 and 16 GB ram for under $1000? The screen is really nice as well. Heard some complaints in reviews that the color accuracy is not perfect but I don't care - looks good to me. I don't game, I podcast and this destroys even the most difficult video productions applications. Very happy with my purchase.

    Had to buy a new laptop cause my old one didn’t survive the storm. Decided to buy something better than what I had, and this laptop met all my requirements. I’ve been using for 2 weeks so far, and it didn’t let me down: it’s fast, no freezes, no glitches neither when just working on zoom no when playing games. Highly recommend.

    The fan is pretty loud especially when gaming, I am not a fan of the exaust for the fan being on the top facing toward the screen. Although im sure they have done research on it, it makes me worry for the monitor. The computer runs pretty very well unless you try to do any intensive games, the reason for this is the low amount of ram this comes with. Although that problem is easibly solved since it is upgradable, for the price i feel like 32 is not too much to ask. Valorant ran extremely well on medium settings while modded minecraft would see some lag here or there due to the shorage of ram.
