    This is a decent gaming laptop. I do have a couple of gripes with it, though. One, I did have to completely reinstall the operating system once (which erased the hard drive). Fortunately, my important files were backed up to OneDrive. My bigger gripe is that the battery life on this laptop is horrible. I can probably get about two hours of unplugged use out of this laptop before the battery dies. Also, it seems to consume quite a bit of battery power even in sleep mode. For instance, I used it for about 15 minutes unplugged, let it go to sleep, and then opened it back up a few hours later. I was then able to use it for another 20 minutes before it died. Most of the time I use this plugged in, so it's not usually an issue for me personally, but I thought I should mention it for people who like to use their laptops unplugged.

      ohster,

      We're sorry to hear about the battery performance issues that you're experiencing on your new computer. We'd recommend the following tips to help with your computer's battery management:

      Change the Power Plan:

      1. On the notification area of the taskbar, right-click the Battery icon.
      2. On the options list, click Power Options.
      3. Select a power plan on the battery meter, such as Power Saver or Balanced. Windows 10 has a built in 'Battery Saver' mode that can be activated to extend your system's battery life. The Battery Saver mode will monitor and limit background activity and other features such as push notifications. You do have the option to enable or disable this mode within settings or within advanced Battery Saver settings, you can customize the mode to best suit your needs.

      a) Click on the Action Center icon in the taskbar and select the tile for Battery Saver.
      b) If running Cortana then type Battery Saver into the search box and select from the results.
      Within the Battery Saver settings page, you will be able to turn on and off the feature and customize the feature to best meet your needs.
      c) Turn Battery Saver On or Off.
      d) Additional settings available via the Battery use and Battery saver settings links.
      e) Battery use shows further info on apps and their power usage.
      f) Battery Saver Settings screen allows you to customize further Battery Saver feature.

    This laptop has much more power than I anticipated. The max Q graphics card is good enough for all the modern titles in full HD1080. And blender usability isn't bad due to the number pad. Though the cooling fan is a little on the loud side under light use. Overall is a good product

    I got this laptop for school, but given the specs it has, I was able to enjoy much more out of it. If you compare the specs on this laptop with other products at the same price range, you will never find anything remotely close. I am fully in love with it. The only downside is that it is heavy, but that is acceptable when you are packing that much punch!

    I got this computer on sale for 999.99 I think it should be at this price range. If it was then it would be 5 stars. Great computer I play world of Warcraft and classic. Runs both games good! Especially classic because less graphic required, but Good computer!

    Haven't had this computer long. Just a month So far it's been great. I got it just for simple school work, email, internet, and that type of stuff. I watch webinars quite frequently also. My son is a gamer and he is impressed with the speed and graphics. I love how quiet the fan is. You can barely hear it.

    I purchased this computer for live-streaming with two Canon camcorders for church services. We needed the extra graphic power to handle the video processing and streaming. It works like a charm and have no gripes. Our tech person says that it is the fastest computer he's ever used, and he works in IT. So far, it has been a great computer with an quick start-up time.

    We got this laptop for our 12 year old son. He is very in to gaming and needed one for school as we will be mostly online for the foreseeable future. He loves it! He has been able to do all of his gaming including programming and video creation without lag or problems. Great laptop so far. We have had it for about a month and a half and it is working as we hoped.

    I like the computer But it is heavy. Reminds me of laptops from 15 years ago. The power transformer is also a brick with the thickest power cord I've seen in a while. You need to think of this as a portable desktop computer

    Did some serious research before purchasing this laptop- and I have been incredibly pleased. Always a bit scary taking a leap with technology for the first time but the quality is amazing, and I have had a great introduction to the PC gaming world! I use this for school as well so it’s versatile and efficient for all my needs. Highly recommended!

    I haven't gotten a chance to really stress test this yet, I'm using it as a vfx station and not a gaming rig, so the true test will come in rendering. So far though the machine is responsive and handles the many programs I have open at once. I also like that I can upgrade the ram on this meaning I'll be able to adjust it a bit if it starts to underperform for my needs.
