    Works perfectly fine, but please don’t expect to play too many hardcore games on it. Plays games like FFXIV, League of Legends and Apex Legends perfectly fine at high settings. Definitely worth it.

    I pleasantly surprised by the quality and features this laptop has. I realize it a gaming laptop but that’s not how I use it. It is quick and easy to use. I really like the back lite keyboard.

    Good laptop, just screen sometimes is a little dim even when brightness turned up to 100%. But not dark that you can’t see. It’s decently powerful, runs smoothly, and I think it’s definitely worth the buy.

    I bought this for my 11 year older son. He is a true gamer. He has enjoyed the laptop so far. He says it moves fast but he would like to upgraded more! But it runs pretty well so far.

    Been great so far. Added another 8GB of RAM and another 1TB SSD - really simple despite this model not having an easy access hatch in the bottom. Paid $699 and would recommend at that price!

    Great gaming laptop. Easily brats the new PS5 & new Xbox, why be stuck with dull boring vanilla versions that look exactly the same as last gen consoles when you can have it all.

    Very convenient laptop. Will play 4k videos despite having a 1080p display. Video editing is a bit slower than my desktop PC but is perfect for on the go video editing and gaming

    Great value for the money, very fast and powerful machine. The only downfall is the battery life, it runs down very quickly but it could be because of the games I am running.

    Great everyday value for 799.00

    I'll start off by saying that I'm no pro when it comes to knowledge of computers but I feel that for this price you are getting a pretty good machine. Thermals have been really good for me and have had no issues with powering on. I will say that the screen is a little darker than I would like while playing certain games but overall it has performed well. For an everyday price of 799.00 I'm very happy. If this goes on sale I think it would be an excellent buy.
