    Great for the price you're paying. Battery life is average, but that is just the price you pay to have a gaming laptop. Runs large games like Baulders Gate 3 smoothly without too many problems.

    No SD reader, can't expand storage, good performer

    This was purchased less than a year ago. Within days after buying it, I added a second m.2 card and it stopped loading Windows. Removing the card didn't solve the problem. Several calls to support got it fixed but a laptop with a tiny 512gb drive is useless to me. I purchased this laptop for light gaming and video editing while we are traveling, so I needed the storage. Without being able to expand the drives it won't work for what I bought it for. To expand on that- and this is partially my fault for not checking specs thoroughly- the laptop doesn't have an SD (or micro SD) reader! This means having to carry an adapter to use for video transfers. I couldn't imagine why a laptop wouldn't have a reader...even my phone has one! I had to purchase a USB microSD card reader for video transfers, file transfers to my 3d printer, and moving files between other devices. While not an expensive laptop, I would still assume it would have a functioning SSD slot and a microSD slot. With that said, the laptop works well otherwise. Performance is good enough for moderate gaming and video editing.

    It's a really good laptop. I play helldiver's 2 on high settings. It has low space at start but it's cheap and performance well. Only is super loud, but that's usually not a problem!

    This might go down as my favorite purchase ever from best buy. Absolute workhorse and plays all the games id want for it flawlessly. Got a laptop cooling fan for it and its perfect. Love this more than anything and its an insanely good price.

    This laptop turned out to be better than I expected. No problems except for Bluetooth freaking out a couple times. Recent update fixed it. Wish it had a bigger screen though. This machine was critical to deal with several issues and crapping out was not an option. It passed. I'd recommend

    It is a great laptop to play and do heavy stuff but it’s very noisy, and it heats very quickly so if you are using it at home it’s good.

    I purchased this specifically to play games and it does that well. I am not a gamer. I do not play all day any day. I may play for 2-3hrs at most at any given time but during that period I have had no problems with video quality, data processing, data storage, overheating or anything. Nothing but smooth sailing. I do only play fighting games like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct and all of their spinoffs and modifications so my satisfaction is based on those types of games. I somehow lucked up and got it on a deep discount it seems but I probably would've also bought it at the current sale price. I did make 2 upgrades. I added a fingerprint reader (USB fob) and a 1TB M.2 which was almost as easy to install as the fingerprint reader.
