Many also appreciate its reasonable price, exceptional speed, sufficient RAM, and great graphics. However, some customers have noted that the laptop can get hot during demanding games and that the fan noise can be loud. Additionally, a few users feel that the storage could be larger, the laptop is a bit heavy, and the screen brightness could be improved.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t know if I got a defective product or not, but I bought this gaming laptop brand new, sealed, in the box for $1,100 so my girlfriend can play Roblox on it. The battery life is insanely disappointing. She played Roblox for one hour, and from a full charge it went down to 16% battery. No apps running in the background, nothing. Will be returning in the morning. I’m sorry but $1,100 for a battery that lasts 1-2 hours is not cool.

Bad Build Quality, Appealing Internals
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great internals, but terrible build quality. Do yourself a favour and spend the money for a metal case (even if the internals are worse). The hinges separated from the plastic case within 2 weeks. Also, super heavy, there's better options if you want a decent graphics card in a laptop you can travel with. If you're gonna use it docked, maybe a 3.5 or 4.
