    Overall pleased with the laptop for the price i got it at! The only thing is, that it definitely needs more storage and more external outlets on the laptop. I can run most newer games and a high quality graphic.

    Ever i since i brought gaming laptop its incredible. There no reason anyone would buy a gaming laptop. I get it, not anyone is a gaming person which totally understandable. Im a gamer myself, but there's a lot of things you do on this laptop besides gaming. I love it. I can't complain it, this laptop helps me improves my typing skills.

    Honestly such a great laptop, i can’t say much since I haven’t played very many games on it but bo6 high graphics runs so smooth and I can barely hear the fans running. there’s only been two issues i’ve had with this laptop 1- takes a minute and freezes the screen whenever the graphics card changes to gaming, just a slight annoyance though 2- sometimes just doesn’t turn back on after closed and I have to completely power off the whole system to get it started back up again, this is probably the worst issue but mostly because it scares me into thinking the laptop broke. battery life is insanely bad, keep it plugged it

    Great laptop at a discount but with a few flaws

    For transparency I bought the laptop for around $750 on sale and my review will be based on this price. The laptop comes with great specs for a brand new laptop in this price range. With a powerful CPU and GPU and decent base RAM, the only component leaving more to be desired is the storage. With a base storage of around 500GB an upgrade is definitely needed for anyone wanting to do the max with this laptop. However, this is where the laptop continues to shine. It is modular so you can upgrade the RAM (2 slots up to 32GB but reported to work with 64GB as well) and the storage (2 slots). Upgrading the components is not too difficult but definitely not beginner friendly. Make sure to watch the guides fully through before attempting anything as the inside of a laptop is fragile and one wrong scratch could brick components. Regarding setup and additional things I noticed. 1. Setup took much longer than expected with multiple updates needed. It took about a day to get the laptop ready to use and it definitely was not an out of the box experience. For gaming and other optimizations I had to tinker around in the settings quite a bit as well as enter the BIOS. 2. There is a decently loud fan startup noise that occurs every 5-10 minutes which is not an indicator of anything wrong but is still incredibly annoying. There is no way to stop the noise from my two days of research and experimentation. 3. The laptop "hangs" when opening programs that are intensive for longer than expected. Therefore while, without the annoyances and with a greater storage capacity, I would give it a 4 star... I have to give it a 3 star.

    It's a pretty decent-budget gaming laptop. Gets quite noisy. No complaints other than that. You can check Rtings score and see its value.
