    Good laptop, great space( could use a little more) other than that it can play most games pretty good, it has everything you need for a basic gaming laptop. Worth the price I would say.

    This was a nice find for a cheaper gaming laptop during Black Friday. I like Gigabyte products and this one is no exception. With a 512GB SSD I am not complaining at all about the device. For what I needed this for, this works perfectly.

    I bought this because i have been travelling a lot and its a perfect fit. First of all, i did not expect a lot from it with 8 gb of ram and a 3050 ti that can handle almost anything medium to high (mostly medium) . As long as you know what your getting and your expectations are reasonable then this is perfect forgaming on the go. I mostly play withcher valorant RL AND CSGO and horizon zero dawn.

    Good value Laptop when on special. I recommend an extra 8GB of ram and upgraded storage (both second NVMe and Sata SSD) for best use.

    Nice gaming laptop great graphics and pretty beefy design. It’s a lot lighter than I anticipated but no one has ever said I want a heavier laptop. Battery is pretty decent, played a couple hours of Stardew Valley before I needed to recharge. I’ve found it better to just take the battery out if I’m going to play any games.

    Great Gaming Laptop At A Great Price

    Don't let the low price tag fool you, this is a very good laptop that works well at more than just gaming. The unboxing is just like any other laptop, no frills. Paperwork, charger etc etc. Once unboxed and the laptop is ready to go is when the fun starts. Build quality of the laptop is what you would expect in this price range. The plastics used don't feel cheap and it feels well made. I'm not noticing and seam's larger than others or any major flexing outside of anything typical. Over all it's very well built. The screen is also pretty good with decent viewing angles and a high refresh rate of 144hz. I didn't expect the higher refresh rate so this was a welcome surprise. It's an IPS 1080p display so you get the best response times. Overall I think the display is good. The keyboard is backlit and is quite nice to type on, keys are clicky and light up adequately for when you're using in a darker room. No complaints. It's the same with the trackpad, typical at this price point and does the job. Performance is also quite good, 8gb is a little low but fortunately you can upgrade the ram yourself but for lighter tasks 8gb will work ok. The i5 seems to be pretty powerful and the 3050Ti allows me to play games at around medium to high. Overall gaming performance is pretty good. It also does well on video editing as Davinci Resolve takes full advantage of the 3050ti, it render so much faster thank you the graphics and makes editing much quicker. Overall I love this laptop, it's at a good price point with good features.
