    I bought this for my relative. I don’t see him very often but I saw him use a laptop that doesn’t allow him to do his school work very well. He’s also wanting to get into pc gaming. Now he can do his schoolwork with ease and game. Thanks!

    Have had this computer for a couple months now and I really like it. Has handled most things I have thrown at it. From photoshop to rocket League. Wish it had a little more ram but luckily I can upgrade that for under $150. Solid intro gaming laptop.

    Bought this because my Alienware was interfering with my work program. The Nitro works great with work and after work I use it to play games on and it handles them perfectly. I would recommend this laptop to anyone who wants one for gaming or otherwise.

    Solid gaming laptop for its price point. Amazing that they can cram all the toys that they do unto this laptop. Screen looks sharp and it just works fir so much more than gaming.

    Replaced laptop that was about 6-7 years old and on it's way out. Very powerful, but ventilation can be an issue if the laptop isn't on a flat surface. No problems so far, I have have noticed quite a bit of heat when using it on a lap pad versus a desk.

    Was wary because price was so low. But this computer has done well for me. Plenty of power and it's put together really well. Solid build at a good price point. Battery is lasting good too. Love the light up keyboard. Had it a month so far.

    Internet is fast. Streaming videos buffers quickly, and I'm able to play any video games I have come across. FYI- the keyboard keys are colored red on the side, in addition to there being a red LED in the keyboard tray.

    Hey Y'all, Your best friend Big Dawn Here. Let me tell you. This laptop is a hoot! It has lots of snazzy features. I love this thing. The one and only complaint I can make is, The key board sure is hard for my weary weather beaten eyes to see unless the backlighting is on. But hot dang this is one nice piece of new fangled technology.

    This is my first big laptop, and so far I am very happy with it. Never had a keyboard that could light up before, so it's awesome that I can work late now. It runs well, and it hasn't done anything without my permission, so that's nice.

    Good Laptop Has To Be Upgraded Though

    This is a good laptop but they only include 8GB of ram. Laptop was continually shuting down due to running out of memory until I upgraded the RAM with another 8GB memory module. The other issue is the included touch pad is the worst I have ever had on a laptop ( this is my 14th laptop purchase ). Had to add external mouse as the touch pad is very slow to respond to touch and has terrible sensitivity. If you have no probelm upgrading a laptop I would recommend this laptop but if you have issues upgrading computer items I would suggest a differnet laptop as this one is not really functional out of the box. If you do buy this laptop keep in mind to upgrade this laptop the whole bottom has to come off a bunch of screws and then you need a pry tool to finish openeing up the tabs that hold the bottom to the laptop.

    Although there are more expensive gaming laptops, my need is more towards online role playing. This computer has the recommended set up for Twitch. Fast and easy to use, this should be my go to for a long time.

    For the money, this is a beast of a machine. I bought it for my son who is 13, so he could stop playing games on my wife’s MacBook Pro. Holy smokes this thing is fast! It blows the MacBook away!!! Seriously a great buy.

    Ourchsed as a dual purpose laptop for my son when he goes off to college. He prefers this laptop over his desktop gaming computer by far. So far it’s also worked for him to use for other uses as he prepares for college.
