    Computer is very fast and reliable. Definitely a solid entry level gaming PC. My only gripe is the weight. I didn’t think it would be an issue but I have started travelling more than expected and it is quite heavy to travel with. When I am stationary, no qualms. I do school work and play Lord of the Rings online.

    THis is a great budget friendly gaming laptop. It is a little big, and the keyboard mouse feel a little less than a high end laptop or macbook, the other issue I have is that the graphics card cannot be fully utilized unless using an external display. All in all though it plays all the games and works very well for the class of device that it is.

    For the price, a good gaming laptop for light gaming. It will not handle the really big games at ultra resolution, but you will be able to play most games on it. For my wife, it's perfect because she plays casual games but needed the power it affords for audio, video and photos.

    I can play a modded fallout 4 run, dragon age inquisition and more on this. If it can handle those 2 with next to no stutter, it can be worth the $950. Battery life is a bit low but i wouldn't take it anywhere that i can't plug it into the wall for

    This laptop provides my spouse with everything he needs to game on the go and from the comfort of his lap when applicable. Battery life is low, but so are most gaming laptops, and it’s a worthwhile trade off for the specs.

    Plays Baldurs Gate beautifully for hours on end. Fans go wild, but keep the computer cool. Everything seems to be running smoothly. My last computer was an acer and I've liked having an acer. I do keep it plugged in for the most part so I haven't tested the battery life.

    I purchased this for my nephew while on sale and he seems to enjoy it. At the beginning we did habe some issues with the wifi disconnecting but doing all the updates we havent had that issue anymore. Great purchase for the buy. I like how the charging sections are in the back and the extra m.2 slot to upgrade the storage if necessary.

    I have been very pleased with the performance of this laptop. I have been strictly Dell for 20 years, but, based on the specs, this was the better buy. So far, it hasn't let me down. Minecraft is a new experience with this PC.
