    Good gaming laptop overall, I got it when it was 550 so for that price this laptop is amazing. The only bad things about it are the battery life, which does not matter much because most games require a charger to be plugged in for higher FPS, and the fan noise that I can easily deal with. The rest is amazing and I'm very happy with my purchase.

    So far this computer has been great! Speed is amazing. The only downside is the battery dies within the hour.

    This computer is amazing if you’re using for hard tasks as gaming and 3D designing. However, the battery (as in every gamer laptop) is bad. Just make sure to have the charger and the power outlet close to you at all times. If you want this computer thinking is going to last all-day-long then I don’t reccomend this to you.

    This is a great laptop for anyone who is looking to do somewhat inexpensive gaming. I play call of duty farming, simulator, Fortnite, Fortnite, Minecraft, Minecraft, and other games that demand good graphics and high stress gameplay. I would definitely recommend this laptop to anyone that is looking for an affordable computer.

    I bought this computer on a Preblack Friday deal. It was a great deal. The computer is fast and does exactly what I wanted. The only knock is that the battery life is not very good. I realized it is a gaming laptop, but I expected a longer battery. I would recommend this machine for the money. It runs all the games that I have put on it.

    Initial software issues but excellent computer. Had to download some drivers overdue updates and such but the computer works well. Upgrading the RAM to at least 16 gigabytes feels like a must for this computer. When I upgraded to 32 gigs I immediately had a much better experience with this computer. Does die stupidly fast not plugged in.

    Its a great laptop if you are worried about the fan noise its not that bad on silent mode and if you have a laptop cooler you wont really need to worry about the fan noise. I would also suggest upgrading the ram to 32gb so you can basically do anything, also this laptop once over 8gb can run vr things cery well

    Obviously needs more RAM, but that's a cheap fix. Very fast boot time. Refresh rate is great. Shocked at what it can run, Doom Eternal runs pretty great. Biggest gripe is battery life, which is why it loses a star. Even on battery saver, just doing emails and bills, this thing CHEWS battery. But other than that, great pick.

    Hello, avid gamer here. This laptop seems to be one of the better beginner to mid range laptops. Runs all the games I need them too but at the cost of being a little toasty. 86c on the gpu and 83c on the cpu. (With cooling pad) BUT…for the price I got it for, it’s one of the best deals I’ve experienced.

    Very good computer, especially for beginner to intermediate gamers. Noticed very little lag, if any. Also use it for schoolwork and general browsing and never had any issues. My only complaint is the battery drains pretty quick compared to other laptops I've had in the past, so make sure to take your charger with.

    I was hoping for a fast computer that looked good and performed well. I found it in this unit. I am not a game player, but it had the hardware I was looking for. Supports multiple monitors with connectors at the rear of unit. It may not need it, but I did add an additional 8GB ram
