Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the G5 15.6" FHD Gaming Laptop's performance, especially considering its price, and also appreciate its graphics capabilities and relatively easy upgrade options for RAM and SSD. However, customers are negative about the laptop's tendency to overheat and generate significant fan noise, along with its shorter-than-expected battery life and limited storage capacity. Some also found the laptop to be heavier than expected.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Dont even bother spending your hard earn money on this laptop. You be using it and out of no where you drop frames rate seem like it was a lag at first but it keep happening. So I updated everything to the latest drive and seem to continue to have the problem. I had read comments about related to this laptop but thought was a bad review or something. I very strongly not to get this laptop not worth your $915

    Crappy Laptop

    It is asking for a mandatory Win update and after update it enables the SmartShift. Then it steals power from the graphic card and transfers it to the processor. As a result the performance of the graphic card goes down very badly. DONOT buy this crappy laptop. There is no way that you could disable the SmartShift. Windows enables the SmarthShift after a month of using it so my return period which was 15 days has expired I wish I knew this before 15 days. DONOT BUY THIS.

    Worked well for five months, but last night it started making strange noises and running really warm, so I powered it down and taking to store today, hoping for an exchange/return/store credit as I expected it to last more than 5 months!
