    works great and better customer service when I walked into the store to pick it up. They didn't have it on the floor but the warehouse employee was super chill and went and grabbed it for me. I've played anything as little as hearthstone and as big as Helldivers 2, and the finals and it works great.

    It is a really good laptop, but a brick. Very heavy to lug around as a laptop. GPU is great, 12VRAM, upgradable RAM and SSD, screen is also really great, but IPS. The keyboard is good, but the backlight is kind of a lot and sometimes you cannot see. Specs are really good for a price point on sale. Personally ended up returning because I felt it was to much to lug around, the battery life is not good at all for non gamming, and constantly felt like I was searching for a outlet to add on top of that the charger is heavy so its like heavy laptop heavy charger always trying to lug around defeated the portability purpose for me with a laptop, and I already have a nice desktop. Main takeaway.. IF you are looking to use this as your primary setup, as in docking it on your desk to your monitors, this laptop is solid for specs, reliability, and price point among the competition.

    I really enjoy this laptop, I wasn’t a fan of laptops considering that you can just buy a pc. The performance is really good considering it has laptop version parts. Highly recommend

    I have had this laptop for about a month now. And it is a really powerful machine. Many wrote about the weak screen, but in my opinion everything is in comparison, for me it is not bad. Recently increased the amount of RAM to 32. I play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 on maximum graphics settings

    This laptop may leave a bit to be desired in the screen department. It's an IPS 1920x1200 screen at 165hz. Is it an OLED? Nope, 240hz? Nope, but you've got one of the best laptop GPU's on the market that can keep most games just glued at 165 fps instead of of a 5060 struggling and using AI frame gen to get decent frame rates. At an open box excellent price of $1250 it truly is a no brainer.

    I give this 5 stars because the only problem was user error. My 10 (who the computer was for) and I downloaded the wrong game app version. It took my daughter 10 minutes to delete the wrong version, install the windows one and get everything working great. We've had no problem since then.

    Awesome laptop. Punched thru every game I played at very high FPS. Yet it only has 300 nits which using great for outdoor use. Also paying over 2k for a gaming laptop and receiving such a weak screen just doesn't cut it so I returned. Such a shame. But if you can ignore the screen you have a solid gannv laptop

    Premium quality all around. From unboxing to gaming, you really feel like there’s no better portable option, and I’m positive this is the best. The 5070ti in this thing is the perfect reasonable GPU to both game on the go and hook up to an external monitor. You won’t break the bank with this price point as it’s fair and performs

    Powerful but so heavy. Its a very great looking device and runs everything i want. I dont like the screen and its too bulky in my bag and on my desk. Hook it up to a nice monitor youre okay though. I ended up getting the g14 and like it way more but you'll also pay a lot more. Get this and you'll be just fine for years with a monitor hook up. I think this laptop will be good for many people.

    Bought an open box and it was dirty and scratched

    I bought this as an open box .. opened it up super excited and it was supposed to be in excellent condition but it was very dirty and covered in dust and fingerprints there was a big scratch on the screen the power supply looked like they drug it through gravel and threw it in the mud .. so I thought of well and tried to turn it on and when I did the start up it had no wifi either the card was damaged or when they wiped it clean they wiped off the drivers so I figured oh well I will just load the drivers on a USB and bypass the startup stuff but I got frustrated by it being dirty and scratched and not having wifi functional and returned it an hour later .. I paid 40 dollars for express shipping .. they refunded the computer and the tax but not the extra I paid for shipping .. wasn't happy to spend 40 dollars for faster shipping just to return it within an hour and the closest best buy is an hour away so I had to leave work early to make it to ups store before they closed so lost that money for not working also

    The laptop feels very fast and smooth in everyday use. It handles demanding tasks nicely and the build quality feels solid. Though, I do miss the numeric keypad in my daily use. Overall, it delivers a great experience.

    For the moment the laptop is really good without issues, 4 stars cause the screen could be better. But, the Ram is 2x8, It could be just one of 16gb to upgrade it with another 16gb then, now, I have to buy 2x16gb to have 32gb what is not good.
