This is exactly what my daughter wanted AND it was $500 less than normal price. A person can’t ask for more.

This is a really good computer and an affordable price! I hate to say it, but my favorite part of the computer is just the rainbow colored keyboard. Sometimes before I even do anything on the computer I have to sit there and admire it for a good 5 minutes. The graphics are top notch for a computer in this price range, even though I wish they had at least a 4K display which would be great. The one thing I really hate about this computer, is the fact that you can't skip the part of setup that you have to add an email and it has to be a Microsoft email. To me, that is really irritating and you should be able to skip over that part and come back to it later, but other than that I really enjoyed it. I have many other computers that cost a lot more, but I'll find myself enjoying this one almost as much as the other higher price models. This gaming computer also doubles as a work computer, which I use almost daily and is super fast when surfing the web looking for different information. And don't forget about that keyboard. For this price, and everything that you get for it, I would definitely recommend this.

The first thing I need to say about this laptop is the RIDICULOUS startup noise that it plays every time you boot it up. It’s like a jet plane taking off which in some circumstances might be cool but holy cow is it loud. You have to know how to get into the bios to shut it off which thankfully I figured out right away but man is it unnecessary.
As for the actual performance of the laptop, it’s great for basic 1080p gaming. The 165hz refresh rate Is buttery smooth and the 3060 chugs among just fine for most games at or above 60fps. The SSD loads games a little slower than I like, but I’m a high performance machine snob so my expectations are skewed. It’s still faster than any spinning disk hard drive. The 3ms response time is negligible.
I love that this keyboard has a built in ten-key! It makes the keys a little offset for gaming which is a minor adjustment, but it dramatically increases the usability of this laptop for basic work tasks in addition to gaming. There are also a lot of fun RGB options for the keys and they include a cool strip in the front which is better than the back like I normally see.
The casing has a sleek brushed metal look to it and the predator logo fits in well. It also came with a soft zip up carrying case which is very cool, though it becomes a bit bulky with the power supply.
