This was purchased for my 14 year old for High School and some gaming. He absolutely loves it, very happy with this purchase and the young man that helped us at Best Buy in Westland, MI, he really knew his stuff!!

This laptop can handle almost all that I can throw at it but tends to run hotter than I would like. If you have a cooling pad then this shouldn't be much of an issue.

The gaming laptop is a great laptop for fps and quality in games. Although I tried installing a SAMSUNG 980 SSD 1TB PCle 3.0x4, NVMe M.2 2280 into the m.2 slot and when I go to disk management it doesn’t show up
