    Pretty good laptop

    This laptop is actually pretty good. All its hardware and specs provide a very versatile and cohesive package made perfect for gaming geared more to the mid-demand side of things. WHat I mean by that is this PC is capable of running some the year old goodies such as Fallout New Vegas on ultra 60fps as well as the newest low demand games (Realm Royale, Smite, LoL) at high settings 60+fps. I was skeptical about GTX 1050 TI's capabilites but was shocked to see MGSV: The Phantom Pain ran on max 1080p setting at a 55-60fps. As far as internet browsing and such goes, this laptop has no issues. The specs are their, near all stuff is tackled by them. There are two issues holding this laptop back from being 5 stars: 1) The screen is TOO dark. Even after clicking through caliberations/settings it just does not get bright enough. It isn't so bad that its hindering games, but it definitely is noticable. 2) It runs a little too hot for me to be comfortable. Just casual web surfing is pushing 85-95f and then all the way up to about 130-140f when playing games. The cooling system in it is pretty good though. Hope this helps!

    This budget pc runs games surprisingly well for the price and worth looking into.It seems to handle every game I’ve thrown at it very smoothly.Build quality isn’t too bad.But I wouldn’t expect to get more than 60fps or so for demanding titles that a more expensive pc could offer you.I personally don’t think that is necessary to get much more than 60fps if you aren’t super competitive in games but figured it’s worth mentioning.

    OK, I made this my choice for watching videos and web surfing. To make visit to review sites (like Tom's hardware), a regular laptop struggled a lot with all additional videos and flashes on the site. With this one, there's nothing lagging but deals with almost anything comes on. Haven't played any game with it so no comment on that side. Beside the little bit off-lined stickers on the body, I'm all happy with this purchase.

    I did a lot of research & I read the majority of reviews on here and on other sites. I chose this laptop because of it's specs, and because of the price. Very happy with it so far. Of course, something bad could happen tomorrow, but I seriously doubt it! It's very much been a worthwhile purchase. I think the only thing I would change is to maybe make the battery last a little longer, before it needs to be charged.

    I bought this gaming laptop in September 2019. It is now May 2020 and the fan has already broken. That is really disappointing. The hard drive is a bit clunky at times but otherwise I have no real issues with this computer. It does everything I need it to do fairly well, with only minor difficulties. Overall it's not a bad machine if you're on a budget and can't build your own gaming rig.

    I purchased this computer for my son. For gaming this computer has relatively low specifications. You can easily play fortnite at medium to low settings. I cannot comment on other games. We ended up returning this for a higher spec model. With that said, this computer is well made for the price point. We paid $599.00 plus tax for it. At that price point, if it meets your needs it is a fantastic value.
