    I only use gaming laptops for gaming. After I sold my last one to get MacBook for school. I picked this up to use for a few games. It was reasonably priced but the build quality felt very bad and was quite oversized for being so underpowered. I would recommend this only for someone to get their kids that want to play a couple games due to low storage and poor ram. But good entry level if need a laptop for gaming. Upgrade the ram though to at least 16gb. It is easy to do.

    Best value for this notebook. I would add to keyboard the capslock, numlock indicators (lights). You never know if they are activated or not until you begins to type.

    This laptop was purchased to stream a church service using fairly taxing software with multiple cameras. This handles it with ease. It is more than just a gaming laptop.

    The computer performs just as good as the internal hardware should. Speakers are not as loud as I would have liked, but I use headphones most of the time anyway.

    When I purchased this item I asked if there was anything that the Geek Squad needed to do to set this laptop up. I was told no, it was ready to go, just do the updates. Everything seemed fine until I tried to load Office Home & Student. There was an error message and a phone number to call. Well, 5 hours later and unable to pay for the tech service through Microsoft the laptop was up to date. I don't know for how long though. This laptop is for my job with a postal union and I purchased it for it's 1T hard drive. I needed it for Quickbooks 2020.

    Love this computer. It edits 4K footage just fine. Haven't had any issues running my games either. I can always at the very least at medium settings.

    I bought this laptop on sale, as it wasnt much more expensive than the student focused option I was considering, and this gave me more options. I like the size of the laptop. While it is made of plastic, is not great, but since I am using it as a mobile desktop rather than as a more traditional laptop, means it just sits on a desk away from any harmful drops. I have only moved it once since I got it. I am hard on things in my life, but so far this laptop has been spared an accidents. Laptop seems to have decent power

    I am very impressed with the quality and performance of this laptop. It is a little heavy but I added additional memory and the inside components are very well made and there is additional room for storage such as an additional M.2 drive. The keys press really smoothly and the backlight is very bright but easily adjusted. It is wicked fast (less than 5 sec startup and immediate shutdown). Video is exceptional and fan speed control is a nice feature for gaming. Battery life is actually pretty good for a gaming laptop. Mousepad operates very smoothly. I highly recommend.

    The only thing I don't like about this laptop is that the back-light on the keyboard turns off after x amount of time (about 1 minute) without use.

    Have used it for more than 1 year now and it is very fast and strong still. With GTX1650 you can run prettty much all games published in the past 10 years. The material is not so fancy but it's not a big issue coz it's lower 700 bucks. The only flaw is probably the SSD it comes with. The 128GB SSD is a Kingston 2nd Gen M.2 NVMe SSD, which has a very short lifespan for a gaming level device. That's why I upgraded to a WD Black SN750. To sum up,, with some little upgrades, this laptop is perfect.
