    One of the best low-end gaming laptops you can put your money towards. This is the 3rd we've bought (slowly outfitted my family as they got older). In the 6 years we've bought them, we've replaced one power cord. The two older machines are still running properly. The most recent purchase was probably the most streamlined install / smallest amount of bloatware of the bunch.

    This is a good product however the laptop does not keep a good charge. You get maybe 2/3 hours before you have to charge it again and the cord gets really hot

    I’ve been using the laptop almost everyday for the past 3 weeks and haven’t had any issues. It runs AAA games pretty good with close to 90 FPS in every game. The only downsides are the ram as it only comes with one stick of 8 gig DDR4, and the storage. It has a lot of slots to upgrade the ram in the future if you want. And room for an extra SSD

    Great laptop! Bought for school and casual gaming. Games like apex are in the high 120 FPS and valorant in the high 150s. Lots of room for upgrades as far as storage and ram. Battery life if great if you’re doing school work but if you’re gaming I suggest having it plugged in.

    We were allowed to look around with no pressure from the sales associate. When we were read to compare and get more information, it was easy to find someone. The associate was knowledgeable, friendly with no presser to buy a higher priced item.

    This is a great laptop for the price range. I'm able to play new games on high setting with a great refresh rate. It is also strong enough to work on graphics projects in Blender 3D and video editing. It just needs a RAM upgrade.
