    I know it's impossible to get $400 gift card but I still gonna right the review about this laptop. You don't need to be a rocket science to figure out that this laptop belongs to another dimension. When you press start button dreams come true. I was sceptical about this little monster but my scepticism disappointed when l pressed the start button. If you really want to go to another dimension you have to bay this alien.

    New to gaming laptops/pc but even I can tell this thing is no joke! Upgradeable ram is nice as well. Battery life is not a thing though, i play it plugged in so that isnt a huge deal for me personally!

    Awesome laptop for the price. Got it on a sale for around 750. It runs every game and program I want it to without problem. I will upgrade it later but it would have been nice to have more storage, USB ports or SD card ports. There wasn't as much bloat to uninstall as I expected there to be, either. But, there still was some.

    The problem is gaming laptops run hot and slower... it will work, and it can do a decent job. But if ypu are looking to game, get a desktop. Far more life in those.

    For the price I paid ($829.99) it's completely worth it. The performance of the RX7700s is in between the RTX 4050 and 4060. Big downside is the lack of DLSS-like technology, its FSR is only supported in a handful of games.

    Extremely happy with the post-Christmas purchase. The sale price was in my range and the unit acts well beyond what I need. The processor and GPU are top notch, especially for the price I got them at. The capabilities of the laptop will allow me to expand what I do now.

    With the included specification, just by default, I consider this to be a very strong mid tier piece of hardware. As a gaming enthusiest and AMD nerd, I take this with me when I travel and so far I've had nothing but good things to say about it. It was excellent purchase for the price. I picked mine up while it was on sale and I couldn't be happier with it. With the direction of computer hardware these days, I intend to have this laptop for a very long time.

    First gaming laptop, very impressed by price to performance. Currently stuck on bed rest and cant use my pc. Loaded up helldivers 2 changed some gpu settings in amd, changed power mode to full in the asus app, after changes fps hit a low of 55, didnt notice a bit of stutter. Mafia 3 albiet an older game was running between 80 and 115. This is all at settings of mostly high and 1920 by 1200 in both games.
