    For the price, it's an okay purchase. The speakers are not ideal, but I knew that going into it. Definitely want to listen to things through headphones. The computer can have performance issues. The 1st one was defective and the 2nd one feels a little slow. All in all, I probably would have spent more with the price point I was paying for already.

    Pros: half off, 3 usb ports, mid level gaming laptop it can run 120 fps on fortnite with everything turned to high but not the epic settings. Looks great compared to what the xbox is putting out. High rpm fans. Numeric pad nice keyboard. Nice looking very bright colorful screen Cons: battery life is 2 hours, the darkness of the black screen could be a little more darker. Not touch screen.

    Gigabyte G5 MD I like!

    For the 1st time I was able to buy 2 similarly on-sale Laptops and compare them side-by-side. The Gigabyte G5 won for better Display, Keyboard and ruggedness. If you use it for gaming with optimized settings for that the battery will drain very quickly, but I bought mine for everyday home use and it has not disappointed me one byte. Memory and SSD storage are simple to expand too.

    So I don’t usually do reviews, but man this laptop is absolutely amazing I got on Black Friday, and it’s just amazing only thing is I recommend adding extra storage and getting another 8gb of Ram but even with just 8gb it runs every on high max settings definitely recommend looking into specially if you can get it on sale this the definition of bang for your buck
