For the price, it had really good specs and performed really well. If you can get it on sale, it’s a really good deal. The thermals were really good and you can play AAA titles no problem so if you can find it on sale, I recommend it.

Runs great. I have played Minecraft with over 200 mods installed and it works great.
I have also played heavily modded GTAV with about 20 plugins and 4 mods installed and still get around 70 FPS.
The only problem is that is doesn’t last too long while playing high end games, but you can just plug it up and you can play it for hours.

I have had the laptop for 5 months now and have not been disappointed. I can play the games i want and do my schoolwork. Having a bigger screen and full keyboard is awesome as well. The only complaint is the laptop is pretty powerful so the battery is very limited in life if not plugged in.

It’s a great laptop. I use it for gaming and school. Battery life is decent. It does drain when playing, but that’s expected. However for school you can use it for several hours without needing to plug it in.

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.

Great computer with fast start up and nice hardware tools with the armory app. mostly use for Second life which it runs fantasticly, even have to limit frame rate to keep it from running so fast. has nice keyboard feel thats good for typing. case is more durable in this and other TUF Gaming units I have had.
