Overall I'm really happy with this purchase. I purchased this to replace a desktop CAD workstation to have something portable and to play some occasional games. As a CAD workstation I can't complain, it really is a workhorse. I may purchase some extra RAM to support larger assemblies, but as-is it has met all my needs and I've had no issues. The included hard drive is large and very fast which is very nice. As a gaming laptop, it performs above my expectations. I only play Flight Simulators and when running it at 4k, i can easily get about 20fps out of it (which is perfect for a non-combat simulator!). I tried out Tomb Raider at the 1080p ultimate settings and it gives really good performance, as i remember getting around 60+ fps. The addition of the number pad is lovely... i honestly cant live without one. Complaints: Built-in speakers are not great. Fine for mobile gaming and travel use cases, but if listening to classical background music... I'll rate them as terrible... i use an external speaker which is great. Generally I like larger screens, but when considering the size weight for portability it's a good compromise. The keyboard seems crammed because of the numberpad addition... but honestly that trade is worth it

I got this laptop on sale for gaming purposes 1 week ago. So far everything is perfect. I am using it on a cooling pad and it runs God of war and elden ring in max settings easily, stable, and with no lag at all. The GPU and CPU temperatures in GOW are at around 80C-85C which is fine for a laptop and I can drop them by using some programs without missing out on performance at all and in elden ring around 70C. I have also tried some AC games and they seem to run perfectly in acceptable temps as well. The screen is not the best screen I have ever seen but there is nothing wrong with it, but also I mainly play on an external screen. The battery looks great and the quality of the laptop looks decent enough. The weakest spot so far on the laptop would be the speakers which are kind of weak but I am always playing on headphones or external speakers so no problem with that either. So, in general, it's a powerhouse of a laptop, with a great price/performance ratio, which makes its weak points irrelevant since they are easy to overcome (by using external speakers does it easy and cheap) for what it offers. Would definetly recomment.

Pros: - runs every game I play REALLY well - has built in fan controls and 16 keyboard rgb controls - makes noise but not noticeable if you have a fan running in the room Cons: - the screen was very washed out when I got it, the colors were muted and it wasn't sharp. I fixed this by just going into the Radeon settings for color and adjusting the contrast hue and brightness and its now great - the power cord is huge and you need to force it in a bit so it'll stay snug when connecting to the laptop

Power-wise, a great laptop for the money that I spent on it (i.e. $900, during a tax-free weekend). Packing a very capable R5 5600H, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, RTX 3060 (mobile GPU) with 6GB VRAM, a solid 1TB SSD, and Windows 11 - this PC is a gaming laptop beast. Fast, efficient, and powerful for the money. This laptop has absolutely no problems running certain titles at 1080p60fps with Medium or better settings in most games; and this includes even games w/ RT (Ray-Tracing, a really accurate & very demanding lighting, shadowing & reflections technique). Demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Deathloop & The Ascent, which all support RT - yes, all of these ran very well on the system. And yes, you're likely going to need all 6GB of that VRAM for these games, especially when tossing RT on & either DLSS or FSR also. Games without RT such as Final Fantasy 15 run really here on this PC too at my usual 1080p60fps standard. Older titles like Bioshock 1 (2007) and Tokyo Xanadu eX+ and Mass Effect: Legendary Edition run like a dream at 1080p60fps maxed-out...and I can even be enhanced a bit via the NVidia Panel, since these all run so well...and often still not even getting temperatures much different than when you're not running anything of much (i.e. not running games). For demanding games: while heat & temps might be a little bit of an issue - yes, which is also going to be the case w/ most powerful gaming laptops that likely will run hot - as the CPU or GPU might be in the 70's to mid-80's here on demanding titles - it's still nothing that running a KLIM+ Cooler vacuum-like device on at least one of the vents, a regular fan places right behind the main vent & can't good solve Laptop Fan cooler that goes underneath the laptop just can't solve. Most gaming laptop owners should be cooling PC's like this anyways, to be honest. Simply put: this laptop's a beast and performs very well. Cool it properly and throw whatever you can at it; it'll run well, even demanding games. This laptop's all kinds of awesome and is a beast.

This laptop has great specs but the backlight bleed is way too intense. I ran movies with dark scenes and it was blaringly obvious. Also, the power supply is nearly 2x the weight of my previous gaming laptop’s supply and is a bit awkward to handle. I would skip this one unless you only plan yo yse it with external monitors and dont plan on using it as a portable laptop.
