    A solid machine and worth the price.

    The machine is solid. I personally didn't need the power of this device for the jobs I'm doing with it, but having that wiggle room, with regard to specs, is very nice. It boots quickly and and programs start promptly.

    This laptop exceeds my expectations. I had low expectations of the 3050ti BUT this laptop has a 144hz refresh rate, 1080p and 17.3" which is perfect for this laptop and size. I'm able to play all my games at over 60fps on ultra and high settings. This should last me several years and if you buy it, take good care of it. Temps are good but sometimes heat dissipation gets a bit hot but I rarely see the laptop go over 80c. Extreme gaming sessions, Temps are between 55-75c. Which is awesome but expected for a gaming laptop. Other gaming laptops cool better than this TUF laptop but I'll take what I have because it suits my needs. Make sure when gaming That the laptop sits on a flat solid surface to keep the bottom panel to breathe and keep the intake air flow well ventilated. If it's not ventilated, your laptop will 100% overheat and you will melt your motherboard. That, it will just shutdown. And overheat components that you don't want to get too much heat. Overall, this was a good investment and ideal for gaming on the go wherever your body veggies. Only con is 8GB RAM. You can upgrade easily.

    It's complex enough it really should have an instruction manual or guide book. - How do I turn off the color changing lights on the key board?

    Wonderful laptop, but terrible battery life! Dies in like 20 minutes even when it was brand new. The only way to use the laptop is to plug it in. Should’ve taken it back but missed the opportunity window.

    I have a gaming PC, but wanted something that I could bring with me when I'm traveling. This is a pretty decent gaming laptop, and buying it on sale for $850 made it well worth the money. I gave it an extra 8GB RAM for a total of 16, and it plays my games very well - but I don't typically play anything more demanding than FFXIV, so results will vary. It gets hot, but never dangerously so. The monitor refresh rate is fantastic, but the display is a bit dim and the colours are not very rich, so it's not the best if you're looking for something to do any image/video editing. Overall, I'd say it's worth the price on sale, especially if you're willing to at least double the RAM.

    Good laptop but not optimized for Oculus

    This was the second laptop my son purchased to go with the Oculus Quest VR headset. Even though I was told during a "chat" that it was "VR ready" it didn't work well with the Oculus Quest VR headset. My son purchased the Oculus cable to connect this laptop to the VR headset but the game was still jerky when he tried to play it on the headset. It is a large laptop and the games that he downloaded from STEAM worked well on the laptop but not on the headset. We returned it to Best Buy.

    Great laptop for the money. Pretty light for its size, awesome specs! I got this for my daughter to game on as her first actual gaming laptop. I am so pleased, I wish that they would bring it back, I would buy a few more of these to flip on facebook market place.
