    It's awesome. It's very fast with a very clear picture on my 47 inch tv. And it runs Boarderlands 3 with no slow down. Excellent computer.

    In-store pick-up is quick and easy. The expert answered all our questions and introduced the additional return and warranty options. Already using the laptop for a week, this is a great gaming laptop and worth the price! Running games smoothly but very occasionally the screen turns black and the laptop restarted itself. Will continue to see how it performed in the future.

    I knew nothing about gaming laptops or pc that matter. Just saw the highest reviews and notice 18 month financing available. Figured to build my credit own my first ever gaming laptop!! Defiantly worth checking GeekSquad certificate for open box. Saves a couple of bills. I know the battery life isn't great considering 2 hour life after power cord. But c'mon its "gaming laptop" what do you expect lol. Another thing it's pretty loud but there's a "quiet mode". Other than that. This thing is a beauty.
