    I researched several budget-friendly gaming laptop options. This was a great price ($679 Black Friday deal) and had high marks. Fast delivery. Great laptop. Exactly what my teen son wanted for gaming.

    This has been a good laptop so far. I use it for light gaming, but it's handled everything I've thrown at it so far on at least decent settings. It's fast and quiet. I bought a laptop cooler as well, which helps keep the heat off my legs, because it does put out a lot of heat. I've minitored temps and framerates and have been happy so far with what I get. I personally capped the frame rate at 60 fps, which keeps the temps and the noise down overall.

    Purchased as an additional pc to my desktop. If it was primary, storage would be an issue, but that is easily upgradable. For the money, a great deal.

    Love this gaming laptop. Though this is not top of the line I think it has really good medium specs and it works really well for me. The one thing I did opt to do was install higher ram. Overall I’ve been loving the performance and I feel like it’s a good price.

    so far its been an awesome laptop, i love the fact that i can change via 100w pd, when just browsing the internet or watching videos, i don't have to lug around the 200w power brick, speaking of charging, when not doing heavy work or playing games, I've gotten about 2hrs on battery on silent mode

    Great Budget Gaming PC

    This is a very good laptop. You can run any game on ultra settings in 1080p and most games at 2k can run on high and sometimes ultra. All the games I tested was with Ray tracing off because on a small 16in screen is does not make a difference. To get the most out of it you do have to put windows 11 in game mode and also put the power settings to performance. Make sure you have all the latest drivers for windows and the AMD Adrenalin software. I updated everything today 10-2-2024 with the latest Adrenalin software and ran timespy and the pc comes in just above a RTX 4060 and below the 4070 in the compare portion of other people that used timespy. This is truly a great budget pc that can game. Just remember to change a few windows settings and update all the drivers in the AMD Adrenalin and My Asus software first.

    This was a gift for my husband, so he could have a laptop to himself. Especially to game. My laptop is not up to snuff for games even like Skyrim. I've used this one just a bit, mainly in that I set it up. He loves it though! He's been able to use it with ease, not having any tech issues. And, it plays all the games he has without any lag or performance issues. It has a little heft to it, but he doesn't mind that. It is also lovely to look at!

    Works perfectly outside of heating up really fast even when idle or doing small simple tasks like web browsing. Also occasionally freezes the mousepad for a split second and then goes back to normal. But other than those hiccups, it’s the dream mid range laptop for me

    My old laptop died, and it couldn't be repaired, and i found this laptop on sale, and i have heard that Asus laptops are reliable, and start at a great price point. So i bought this one. I have been pleased with my purchase. It has taken everything that my school work and hobbies have thrown at it, and it hasn't had a problem yet. It handles coding and other IT tasks with ease!
