I bought this laptop because of a few reasons. First, it is MSI, second is because of its specs. The boot up time is amazing fast. The graphics are really good. I never knew how good things looked in my game until I cranked it to high and was blown away. I did add an M.2 hard drive to it giving me more storage. I still want to replace the RAM with 32 gigs versus the 16 it came with. I am really impressed with this thing. Now for the bad. The Touch pad (I just turned mine off) is a little firm and the two lower push points feel a little off. It could be me since I really do not like them. The flowing colored keyboard with is cool, just a little bit annoying. I tried to watch videos on how to make it just one solid color and I have downloaded some things from MSI but I still haven’t found out how to do it. With that said, in the game I play, the keyboard will light up a color for where my base is, turn a different color when I am out of its range, when getting attacked it goes red, so it is cool, I just wish they made it easier on how to turn the darn thing to 1 color all of the time. Bottom line. This laptop will do everything I need it to and more for the games I play. I would buy it again in a heart beat. The price was on sale, that also helped in making my purchase. The battery I read somewhere said that it was ok.. I haven’t had an issue at all… one more thing, this unit does get warm. The power brick could cook an egg at times. You can turn the fans up to help keep the unit cooler, it just makes more noise. Currently my wife can’t even hear it while watching TV. Win win.

Excellent and actually surprised for the amount of laptop you can buy for the money today. Now take in mind there’s always drawbacks. However you can’t argue the price. Screen is backlit and does have bleed on darker scenes. No big deal Storage is far from adequate but is expandable via an m.2 SSD and prices are in your favor these days as they’re not much more from your standard 2.5” SSD Battery is good on light titles and great to get through a couple of school classes. Definitely a must plug in for any intensive Triple A titles if you plan for more than an hour of gaming. But the plus side is proper ram size and speeds which most others in this price range neglect. Surprisingly a Ryzen 7 in the price range and the 7600s is substantial enough to make this actually be a sufficient PC for some time.

I put this gaming computer to the ultimate test- A 10 year old gamer. He takes his gaming very seriously. The set up was very quick as long as you have an existing Microsoft account. Just a few clicks, enter your email and off you go! The pros he noticed right away- 1. Really good graphics. 2. Quick- no lagging (a big no-no in the gaming world!) 3. It doesn't get hot while on his lap. Other laptops he's used have gotten very warm and uncomfortable. This laptop stayed nice and cool. 4. You can easily run multiple tabs so you can multi-task (perhaps homework on one tab and a game on another?) 5. The keyboard was very comfortable for his smaller hands. He can position his left hand to maneuver the character and there was no stretching to reach keys. Only two cons (most noted by me) 1. There is no mute button that we could see. There is a volume down but no direct mute. Most laptops I have had have three volume keys- up, down and mute. 2. The camera does not have a cover. The gamer wasn't concerned but as a parent/adult, I worry about hackers getting access to the camera. Overall, this is a very good gaming computer. We have not loaded any programs or other things that may slow it down but right now we are very pleased with the speed and comfort.

Really impressive battery life. Can handle most games. Solid body. Good display. Brightness is decent. Low fan noise. Looks professional. Ram can be upgraded. Gets little hot but OK...Satisfied for the price.

The price of Gaming Laptops still hasn't returned to pre-covid status  in regards to the ratio of cost per performance. However, it is nice that  we are able to get newer laptops with newer and better hardware. The ASUS Tuf A16 FA617NS with AMD Advantage is a perfect example  of improved gaming hardware with a relative mid range price point. This version of the A16 comes with a Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU (up to 4.7Ghz max boost). Some of the other A16s come with the Ryzen 9 7940HS, but that adds a heftier price tag to the unit. All versions of A16 come with the same GPU, the new AMD Radeon™ RX 7600S. The RX 7600S is very comparable to the RTX 3060. However the A16 has a unique  type of architecture and programming in which the GPU and CPU can automatically  allocate power on the fly, providing up to 95W to the GPU. This power swapping and allocation is called " AMD Smartshift Max ". The A16 has other Smart features which give it that additional "Advantage" over similar laptops in its class. AMD Smart Access Memory - gives the CPU access to the entirety of the GPU's VRAM rather than small chunks, reducing latency and improving performance. MUX Switch AMD Smartacccess Graphics - makes it so you can have full manual control over switching between the integrated and discrete GPUs with a dedicated MUX switch. If you are not too technical and don't care to meddle with these setting, don't worry,  the SmartAccess Graphics will automatically switch between the two GPUs to get the  most out of every frame possible. The A16 like most ASUS gaming laptops comes with the "Armoury Crate" app. This app can be launched with the dedicated button above the "F4" button.  In this app you can customize the look and performance of your laptop with  easy presets for all your gaming needs and visual preferences. You can either  choose 1 layout for everything, and or set specific options to change automatically based upon which game is launched through the app.  You can also change the lighting options on the keyboard and set dynamic wallpapers for whatever preset design you like, or create your own. User Benchmarks for this laptop claim it to be outstanding for normal home or  business use, and above the middle mark for most PC games. I was able to play several hardware demanding games with very favorable results. Most everything ran at 60 to 100+ FPS with in game visuals set to max. The only game that I played that had lower than 60 was Forza Horizon 5, which ran at 41FPS. All the games even Forza still looked great and played smoothly without glitching, freezing or crashing. Of course I did have the Fan and GPU set to their highest  possible setting and the laptop was plugged into an AC outlet. I would like to say that the new fan architecture and design has a much quieter  level of operation than previous models. I have an ASUS gaming laptop from 2 years ago that sounds like a plane trying to take off when the fans are on high. The A16 fans are more efficient and create about 50% less noise. I played Death Stranding for a few hours the other day without the laptop overheating or running into any issues.  I did try running some games out of the box without adjusting any settings on  battery power, and you could see some glitching and frame rate drops for the  higher end games. But that is what the additional settings are for. I have included some screenshots of benchmarks and in-game FPSs. The A16 FA617NS comes with 16GB of RAM but can be upgraded to 32GB. If you can afford the upgrades, I would definitely get them, it will just make  everything run a little smoother. Most games alone were easily consuming over 50% of the available RAM. Make sure you get compatible RAM, look for at least DDR5 4800MHz. As newer stuff comes out, it is usually backwards compatible, but older stuff typically will not work at all. You might want to definitely upgrade the SSD, the installed 500GB gets full very quick. The max storage capacity is 2TB with the 2 available PCIe Gen 4x4 slots. At only 500GB, I had to uninstall virtually every high quality game before I could download  and install another one.  The battery life is also pretty impressive offering up to 13.6 hours of video playback. Gaming results will vary depending on the load each game puts on the CPU and GPU and fans. However, the USB C port does offer  up to 100W fast charging, within 30 minutes you can reach 50% capacity on the battery. Overall this laptop has been a huge surprise at how good the gameplay is, despite what a few of the other benchmark results indicate. The combination of hardware and features work great together to make a nice lightweight (for a gaming laptop) gaming machine.

The ASUS TUF A16 has the best screen I've seen at this price point. If you're used to purchasing budget gaming laptops you probably are familiar with the low quality screens they ship with, so I was surprised to see how bright and colorful this screen is. There is a bit of backlight bleeding on my model, but nothing terrible. The build quality itself is sturdy as well. No screen jiggle, keyboard is firm, and it has strong hinges that don't seem like they'll break, another issue budget gaming laptops seem to suffer from. The glass trackpad is a nice touch and unusual to see in cheaper laptops. Upgrading the RAM and storage was a simple process, and I can tell that cleaning my fans in the future won't be a hassle. My only complaint about this laptop is that it comes with ASUS Armoury Crate. It's an overly complicated eye sore that is extremely buggy. Feels like bloatware if I'm being honest, so I uninstalled it and just installed a simple program to control my fan speeds instead. Headache resolved. It's easy enough to do, but I found it so odd that ASUS can build wonderful computers and then develop such terrible software. This is also my first time going full AMD, and so far I'm not disappointed. I've been able to play titles like Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield without any issue at high settings. My laptop doesn't seem to run any hotter or cooler than my other laptop that is an Intel CPU and NVIDIA GPU. The fan noise is much quieter though.

The new ASUS TUF Gaming FA617 laptop is a good laptop for gaming on the go! This laptop is stacked with the new Radeon 7600s Graphics chip and AMD Ryzen 7 Rembrandt series. With the combo of 16 Gb of DDR5 RAM this thing will handle just about anything you throw at it. Escape from Tarkov runs like a top and with the 165hz screen, it is sure to look good. By today's standards though a 1TB SSD drive should be the minimum size for an SSD. This laptop comes with a M.2 512GB SSD which other models in this line DO include a 1TB SSD. The keyboard is nicely laid out, but it seems ASUS ditched the RGB keyboard for a solid white backlight. The outer shell is aluminum and seems very sturdy, though easily prone to skin oils showing up. Overheating shouldn’t be much of a problem with the 4 exhaust fans and 84 blade cooling fans to pull the heat out. This laptop has USB C 100w charging which is a great feature. This laptop also features USB 4.0 Type-C which is a neat touch. As with a gaming laptop should include, this laptop comes with a NIC port which is great for speed any old schoolers that LAN party. The overall weight for the power and materials isn't bad at all in my opinion. The included “Armoury Crate” software is a nice status monitor for the laptop and allows for plenty of customization options. Fan speeds, backlighting and screen settings are great features to be able to customize. The mouse pad is smooth and nice and precise to use for strategy games. Playing Civilization VI on a huge map with plenty of AI roaming around is no issue for this laptop and with the nice screen, it looks great. Talking about the new Radeon 7600s graphics, it features 8GB of GDDR6 RAM. For NVIDIA users, this video card is about on par with a 3060, which is great for gaming on the go. The new Ryzen 7 7735HS features 8 cores, 16 Threads. AMD has really gotten the processor game figured out. This laptop will use the processor for basic visuals and switch to the video chip for the heavy stuff. This will keep the heat down until it is ready to be pushed to its limits. With Bluetooth 5.2 on it, the laptop has seamless connectivity. The battery wasn’t skipped out on either. At 90Wh, you can’t go wrong. AMD Advantage designed which means all the bells and whistles. Smartshift, Smart Access memory, Freesync and all the other goodies that come along with it. With this laptop though and the form factor, for long gaming sessions and anything that heats it up fast, I would recommend a raiser stand for sure to keep those exhaust vents clear to keep the heat going out properly. The built-in speakers on this laptop are not very big so I wouldn’t expect a lot of loud sound out of them. The built-in webcam seems like just a standard 720P webcam. Pretty much the basic standard. The overall weight of the laptop is 4.9 pounds. A wide array of games has been tested on this laptop. As I said before, Escape from Tarkov, Civ VI, Age of Empires 4, Starcraft 2, Cities Skylines and the casual RS3 skill grind while on the couch. Overall, I am very impressed with this laptop and the power it brings to the table for the form factor. This alone would be a great deciding factor to purchase and use this laptop in the gaming world. The complaints are the SSD size and ditching the RGB keyboard lighting. Gaming laptops should come minimum with 1TB of SSD space. As far as RGB goes, that’s just a personal preference but it is nice to be able to set your own keyboard color. Inside the box is basic. The laptop, charger, power cord and the usual paperwork. Though I do like the design of the box and the looks of the visuals on it. The charger is the usual brick for a laptop and battery of this size and power. I would highly recommend this laptop for anyone who is looking for a gaming laptop.

I bought this Open Box from Best Buy for $550. I think it was the greatest purchase of my life. This laptop handles everything i throw at it with EASE! the build quality is much sturdier than the HP Omen and Victus models as the screen flex and hinges are very wobbly. This one is firm and the size is PERFECT! its not too thick like most gaming laptops especially for the price i paid!! Handles Warzone at 110+ fps at medium settings which is more than enough for me for smooth gameplay! Handles multiplayer close to 200 fps. Screen is 165 hz which is also more than enough and it has ddr5 ram! what more can you ask for? oh wait, STORAGE! just threw in a 1tb M.2. Enough to download the games I need and want to play!!! If you get this laptop, I recommend you do a clean install of windows and DONT USE Asus Armoury Crate.. its full of bloatware and uses so much cpu resources. Use G-Helper!!!! Best TOOL for the Asus TUF laptops!!!!

Let me get this out the way, you really need to update windows and then install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition. Simply opening the laptop and just playing a game will not give you an idea of what this laptop is capable of. Once you are done its time to change some settings. Plenty of info out there but if you already waited long enough ans just want to get started then the AMD software has presets. Try them out and see which one fits your needs. Graphics or Higher Refresh Rate. You can even change the CPU voltage witn some presets. Down the road maybe even upgrade the RAM if you do play some more visually detailed games. With all that said i come from years of using a Mac and really had to relearn everything i could when it comes to PC and gaming. Ive always been a fan of AMD and maybe its not true but it sure does feel different using and AMD equipped CPU and GPU. The specs on this laptop hit a sweet spot along with cost. In my opinion it gets pretty close to maxing out your value without handcuffing performance. The look and feel is slick and clean. Others out there feel like cheap plastic but not this laptop. Im very happy with my purchase and look forward to seeing how far AMD can push this GPU with futuree software updates like Adrenalin Edition.

Impressive Performance and Design I recently purchased the ASUS gaming laptop, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. From its sleek and stylish design to its outstanding performance, this laptop has quickly become my go-to for both work and entertainment, Powered by a powerful processor and ample RAM, this ASUS laptop handles multitasking with ease. Whether I'm running demanding applications or streaming high-definition videos, it never lags or stutters. The vibrant display delivers crisp and vibrant visuals, making movies and photos, The battery life is another standout feature. I can use it for a full workday without needing to recharge, which is a significant advantage when I'm traveling or working remotely, The audio quality is impressive, thanks to the built-in ASUS SonicMaster technology. It provides clear and immersive sound whether I'm watching a movie or video conferencing with colleagues, The laptop offers a range of connectivity options, including multiple USB ports, HDMI, and a lightning-fast Wi-Fi connection. This versatility is essential for my work, as I often need to connect various devices, The laptop runs on the latest version of Windows, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of software and apps, the ASUS laptop is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a blend of performance, style, and portability. It's become an indispensable tool in my daily life, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and stylish laptop. I hope this review helps many for buying

Battery life is excellent—best of any gaming laptop I've used. That being said, I don't really like the placement of the charging port (in the middle of the left side), but that's a very minor concern. There is also a USB-C charging option which I have not used yet but I appreciate the functionality. Build quality is very solid, as is the case with the rest of the TUF line. Runs quickly and no real performance issues so far. Have been playing Counter-Strike and Siege and a few other games and they have been running beautifully. I feel there are two minor issues which is why I am bringing it down to four stars: - Sometimes, after going to sleep, it won't open properly. I will press keys, mouse, even power button, nope. Light is on, but screen won't start up. I have to force shut down by holding down the power button and restart it. Then the login page makes me enter A1B2C3 or something bizarre like that which has never occurred to me on any previous Windows device. - There are only two USB-A ports and I feel their location isn't very convenient. One on the right middle, one left forward. Can be awkward especially because whatever is plugged in on the right can interfere with the mouse movement.

Bought this laptop as a combo work and gaming laptop, as (thankfully) my career usually comes with downtime between actual work. I watched a coulle reputable YTers review the laptop and noted that they sometimes suggested going for something with a competitor gpu, but highlighted three important caveats: This is the most VRAM you can get at this price segment for current-gen gpus, the all-AMD specs means it has AMD Smart Access Graphics and WILD power efficiency (meaning unbeatable battery life at this price segment for gaming laptops), and… the 7600S turns out to be no slouch. No, really, go look for yourself in reviews; it wipes the floor against every competitor gpu in its price segment, reaching and achieving fps - even sometimes with ray-tracing! - that you can’t get with competition unless you pay significantly more. 1080p is a solid high-framerate experience with most current AAA titles, and even can do 4k (which I use with my OLED TV sometimes) with the help of the top three FSR 2 settings - I’ve never once had to go down to FSR Ultra Performance. All of this on top of around 8hrs of battery life in my experience when just working with documents and occasional videos (crazy!) and, thus far for me, solid reliability with no quirky bugs - at least if you let AMD Smart Access Graphics do its thing or commit to only using Armoury Crate’s ultimate gpu mode, as switching occasionally between the two caused me some headaches trying to diagnose stuttering in RDR2 and CP77. The fans are also very quiet for a gaming laptop in general, and they’re not as shrill as some I’ve heard; I’m really sensitive to high-pitched, shrill sounds, and I’ve been just fine playing for a couple hours at full tilt with the laptop blasting its fans right next to me. The monitor is really decent too at this price - definitely lacking in contrast, but the blacks are pretty good, the colors great, and the responsiveness right on par with some true non-laptop IPS gaming monitors. The speakers are even tolerable! And it all comes wrapped in an inconspicuous, svelte matte black finish that looks right at home in my office. I really did NOT expect to get so much out of this laptop, but it really is excellent. Give it serious consideration, I sure have been happy with it!

I was in the market looking for an upgraded gaming laptop so I would be able to game while being on the road. I travel so much that the only true way to game is through portable devices. However I would still need a laptop to perform work duties as well. I came across this TUF gaming machine and so glad I did. This by far is the best gaming machine out on the market right now. Package / Setup Software was very impressive. I love how much attention ASUS gives to ensure the laptop is properly packaged. Everything is very snug to ensure safe travels and easy to unpackage out of the box. Setup was a breeze as ASUS has an easy to understand walkthrough. Unfortunately this laptop comes with Windows 11 however its not Asus fault and wont let that impact my review. My Asus and Armory Crate is great software that you will be using a lot to really maximize the performance of the laptop. Screen / Resolution is amazing! I did not want a small 15in laptop and the 17in ones are too large for my laptop carrying case. This TUF laptop is the perfect 16in size that fits my laptop carrying case perfectly! I am also impressed with the resolution and clarity of the screen. The 165hz refresh rate is awesome to prevent eye exhaustion on long spreadsheet days as well as very smooth gameplay. Gaming / Graphics that comes in this laptop is the AMD Ryzen 7 Series. It is NOT top of the line as the NVIDIA graphics chip however it does come very close and only the hardcore enthusiast would notice a difference. Running graphics benchmarks the TUF AMD laptop achieved a very high score that is comparable to NVIDIAs. for high-end gamers this will work perfectly and able to max out almost all the current 2023 games out there. The only complaint is the "AMD Adrenalin Edition" software its not user friendly and limited to what it can do to maximize your game settings. Also the drive space is super small, 500 would only get you a few games so strongly recommend buying an SSD to upgrade. The RAM is 15gig and at most have only used 8gig running high end games so no real need to upgrade RAM unless thinking of transforming this to a video editing rig. Battery Life is amazing on this laptop as long as you properly set them within Windows 11. I do not recommend gaming while on battery as it will drain it and does have a performance it. However as long as you customize your settings in Windows 11 to maximize battery life while not on AC power it can last up to 4 hours! I currently have it set to max battery life while on battery then on AC max power settings. The best software to use is the Asus Armory Crate, you can set GPU mode to "Ultimate" which basically unleashes it which is awesome to see. Windows 11 tries to hide the battery / AC settings under "Environmental Impact" which is a huge pain. However once you get past that you can customize those power settings to really take advantage to battery saving and AC plug settings. Sound / Speakers are located under the laptop which does place it at a small disadvantage versus other laptops. However this laptop comes with Dolby Access which makes the sounds crystal clear. It was really great hearing the games , music play on this laptop. I would recommend going into Dolby Access to really take advantage of the sound system. I just wish they placed the speakers on the top front area of the laptop like other TUF laptops. Overall this is an amazing laptop that you can use for business and gaming. The laptop itself is very durable to withstand all that travel in laptop carrying cases yet still lightweight to not become so heavy over time. The light keyboard and graphics is great and saves you a few extra 100 for only marginal difference with the NVIDIA TUF version. I strongly recommend this laptop for anyone looking for an awesome gaming machine, work machine and sound system.

No way at $1100; but at the sale price of $800 it works because I needed to spend $230 to bump the RAM to 32GB (both slots are already filled, so you have to replace instead of add) as well as add a 2TB M.2 (into an empty slot!). Now it's formidable for that price range. Handles gaming on ultra with minimal lag (but a hiccup or two occasionally). Screen is crisp. I think I will really like this comp. Three dings: 1) battery life: gaming on ultra gives it less than 2 hours. 2) heat: holy hot-lap Batman...much of that battery life is ultimately turned into heat. 3) touchpad: I use a mouse most of the time, but need the touchpad from time to time and this thing is just meh. the very lower left corner doesn't work well so needs to double tap pad for that function. Overall, nothing unsurvivable, but annoyances.

I have played video games for seemingly my entire life -- from Atari in the early 80s all the way through to my Xbox, it's nearly always been console based. I played some old puzzle based games back in the 90s, but due to my career, I have seen computers as work-necessary devices for most of the last 20 years. What I didn't realize is that the specs really improved the fun my kids have while playing. Throughout the pandemic, my kids started to watch more and more YouTube. This led to a mild, but growing interest in games like Minecraft and Rocket League as they became the subject of more YouTube videos. We would watch these videos as a family, and so I bought them a computer to play games and use for school. However, it was soon after this purchase that I learned that even moderately priced computers are not sufficient for today's games. Apex Legends relies on high frames per second (fps) and low lag. He would try to play these types of games with friends and was increasingly frustrated. It wasn't until he showed me the requirements of todays games that I realized my mistake. This Asus TUF A16 Gaming Laptop is a top tier laptop. These games now runs at a consistent 165 fps with nearly no lag. He offered to show me the stats while playing (see pictures), but it was evident that online gaming on his old computer was not nearly as responsive. For these games that require lightning fast reaction speed, it was surprisingly important to me that his friends could actually tell he was playing much better. Even though his friends didn't give him too hard of a time while playing previously, they wanted to play with him even more. I could see a big difference in his enjoyment -- because he was actually having fun and not playing just to get better (a chore that wasn't happening because the equipment he was playing on wasn't capable). He had me take a few turns to test out some of the differences, and it was alarming as a rather technologically inclined person, that you can't play these games on a "Regular" computer. This Asus gaming laptop is built to... well... game. But you can also use it as a regular computer and browsing with many tabs is a seamless experience. And personally, the large mouse area is a quality I wish my work laptop had -- not to mention the 10-key number setup on the right side. The screen is also nice and bright, but most of all, it's BEAUTIFUL. Crystal clear picture with minimal bezel -- and the sound is better than other laptops that I've used. I haven't had a chance to plug in a second SSD, but apparently, I can easily add another full TB of hard drive space -- I need to buy one and insteall, but the directions looked very easy. The only downside that we've seen is that you really need to keep it plugged in at all times. Once unplugged, the fps and lag worsen, and the batter was dead within an hour. So be prepared to setup near a wall. It's possible this is all on purpose, because the computer stays even cooler than my work laptop -- my suspicion is because there are several fans that are constantly keeping it from getting hot. I've had several laptops that get so hot they literally start to burn my legs -- I feel that also adds some longer-term protection as well. So while I'm not a "gamer" dad, I would strongly recommend a machine like this -- if your kids are going to play computer games (while also having the benefit of a Windows machine) it's a good idea to get them something that they can really enjoy. Games should be fun, not frustrating, right?

Received one which will not display anything at power-on although lights kept showing activity. After reset it came on but dead pixel (a horizontal like across screen). It's flimsy and doesn't have feel of prime laptop. Keyboard is just white backlit (come'on it's a gaming laptop), also the arrow keys are way to small (??). Display is bright but not enough for any outdoor work. Fan can get noisy and laptop gets warm pretty fast. On plus, this has the 90Whr battery which not offered at this price range. Processor and GPU are standard and will be obsolete in a year or so.

I bought this computer because I needed something for work and just one game. I liked the specs and the screen that has a thin bezel. It's light weight enough to carry around and it doesn't have a gamer's computer look which it's great. I played call of duty for a few days and I get great performance, no glitches, no lagging. The screen is amazing though I have 2 complaints overall. 1) Some applications looks a little blurry, because of the 125% recommended scale. 2) The plastic body is a magnet for finger prints. If your hands are oily in the slightest it will turn the computer into a magnet for marks. Overall I am very pleased, I bought this open item so it had a further discount which makes this purchase even better.

The ASUS TUF Gaming A16 16" 165Hz Gaming Laptop has truly exceeded my expectations. Its blazing fast speed and seamless performance make gaming, especially EA Sports/FIFA, an absolute delight for a casual gamer like me. As a software developer, I appreciate its power and efficiency, and I wholeheartedly recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a reliable and high-performance machine. The AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor, 16GB DDR5 memory, and Radeon RX7600S GPU ensure smooth multitasking and excellent graphics, while the 512GB PCIe SSD provides ample storage space. Plus, the sleek OFF BLACK design adds a touch of sophistication to its overall appeal. This laptop is a winning combination of power, speed, and style

I did a lot of research and this laptop seemed like a great buy for my gaming needs. I caught it on sale which was great!!!! I did the pick up at the store it was available the next day. I didn’t trust delivery bc they might damage my laptop. I play sims with heavy mods and this laptop can handle it all!!!! This Laptop loads very fast very fast speed , that was my main concern! No lagging waiting on the computer those days are over. The storage is not that much but thats ok I already have a 1tb SSD card. The keys light up I do wish the lights were color but the sale price I paid I’m not complaining. Over all very nice laptop so far it runs smooth.
