    I purchased this for an engineering student. It has all the power and graphics that he needs to complete his work with auto cad and other graphics intensive applications. Does a great job of running streaming video content as well. Great picture with HD viewing. Light and thin too. Maybe too thin but it makes it easier to put into a backpack.

    Good cooling. If you need the CPU to preform as speck the laptop has to be plugged in. The battery can't supply the 90 watts the CPU needs. Screen is slow at 60 hz. There are a lot off good but I'm only saying the bad.

    I bought it for my son's 12 year old birthday, and he just loves it! So far, we haven't encountered anything that this laptop can't handle. My son uses it for gaming, online streaming and obviously for homework, most of the time he runs few apps simultaneously and it seems that this beautiful beast does it with no effort at all!

    Bought two of these for my children. They enjoy playing computer games. They could be happier with the performance. No more lagging. The design of the computer is visually striking. I'm more happy about the price.

    Bought this for $520. Decent gaming laptop. Desicated gpu. I just play isometric rpgs so this works well. I can't say for other high grapic games. If you want a decent gaming laptop this is a good one.

    Great value. Plays medium-high end games with no issues. I’ve had no problems with it. Perfect condition out of the box. I haven’t had any overheating or performance issues. I’ve played world of Warcraft and cod 4 beta on it. Normally a laptop with these specs and the “gamer” form factor will run you 1000-1100 ez.

    This is a great laptop. It handled most games with ease, and I was able to do some video editing with no problems. It is a powerful machine. My biggest complaint was when gaming or video editing, even low power consuming games would rev the fans up. With headphones on it didn't bother me, but it bothered my gaming friends who could hear it on my mic. The build quality also felt fairly cheap, I mean it holds up fine, but does feel inexpensive. Also the body easily smudges and gets finger prints. However it is still a good bang for buck deal.

    I’m into PCs a lot and decided to get this cause it could not be beat for the price and my current rig went out. Straight out of the box it’s ready for almost all medium to high graphics on almost any games! Highly recommend for people looking to play games right out of the box. Not much tweaking required to play

    I searched high and low for a gaming computer for my 11 yr old. This one is perfect, nice graphics. My only complaint are the dark keys on the keyboard but there is a backlight. Overall a great buy.

    My husband and I was looking for a good gaming computer for an 11 year old. Something not to expensive but still did what a gaming Laptop was built to do. This computer is everything we could have hoped for. It never lags, and the games play smooth and they look great. My daughter absolutely loves it.

    I was a little hesitant buying it at first but overall it is a nice laptop. I started computer gaming and game design with it and it has the space and speed I need to do that for a good price.

    The specs on this gaming laptop with discrete GPU is the best for the price range. So far, it is reliable, picture quality is acceptable and performance is as expected. The one that surprised me the most is the weight. Talk about mobility, very light and easy to travel with. Very satisfied.

    We bought this for my tween son to play games, oh yeah, and school work.... I was afraid the i5 wouldn't handle games like Fortnite but it does with no lag. We haven't changed the hard drive to a solid-state drive yet but it does great like it is. I highly recommend it.

    Works great for Arma 3 and Sims 4. Slower on the start up thank you HDD. Slap another 8 GB ram and an SSD this thing will cook and would still be cheaper than all the competition.
