    Was purchased for my 12 year olds birthday. Turns out he has to use it more for quarantine school than gaming.

    Solid (litterally) laptop

    First let’s start with the general physical appearance, this laptop is solid and looks good. The backlit keyboard has a good feel and the touchpad responsive. The keyboard adjusts in intensity and is an attractive red/orange color. In fact, the color reminded me of my old Pontiac Bonneville's instrument panel! The non-touch screen is solid (frankly did not miss the touch screen) as this one has a matte finish in comparison to the shiny, reflective look of the touch variety. The system has the usual ports, including (3) USB 3.1 ports (one an always power on version) and a high data transfer rate USB-C port. This system also has HDMI, Ethernet and standard audio out ports. A webcam, dual microphones and set of good sounding speakers in the front bottom corners round out this high value package. The guts of this system include some high-performance components including an Intel four Core i5-9300H CPU which runs @ 2.40GHz, 8 GB of RAM and a speedy 256GB SSD. Of all the improvements made in personal computers in recent years, SSD drives (which replace traditional spinning disks) offer the most performance bang for your buck. Two video adapters are included an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 GPU. What does all this yield, a high performing, reasonably priced gaming laptop which frankly is great for all use cases. Benchmarks: 59.98 FPS at 1920x1080 SSD Write speed: 822.05 MB/s Copy speed: 591.76 MB/s Read speed: 904.08 MB/s Pros: - Solidly built - High performing for price - Expandability space for an additional M.2 SSD and traditional 2.5-inch spinning disk - Not much preinstalled bloatware - Good battery life - Gaming specific A W S D and arrow keys are framed for emphasis Cons: - Case is a fingerprint magnet - Keyboard layout is strange and takes time to get used to - Could use more preinstalled RAM - Power tip into laptop is recessed, seems robust but difficult to plug in

    The computer is overall good, but the battery has a very low life. I believe less than 2 hours.

    I bought this because it was on sale but it didn't live up to my expectations. The screen was too small and the storage on it is terrible, you have to install an HDD for it to even be worth it. Also, it continuously made sounds that were hard to drown out. If you're looking for a budget laptop it's not terrible but it wasn't for me.
