    Excellent gaming laptop, excellent price

    This is a solid, budget gaming laptop. I didn’t want to spend too much money on my daughter for a gaming laptop, but I also didn’t want to get her something that wouldn’t run the games she likes to run. Generally, she plays games like Stardew Valley, Honkai:Starrail, and Genshin Impact. On the older gaming laptop she used, which had an AMD process and an older Nvidia card, these games would lag considerably. The G6 has no such issues. Gameplay is snappy; on normal settings, there is no lagging with any of the games that she plays. The fans definitely kick on often, and they do make some noise. That being said, the top of the laptop remains nice and cool, signaling excellent cooling capabilities. I’m sure the smooth gameplay has to do with the i7 processor, 32 gigs of RAM, and the RTX 4060 card. The 16” screen is gorgeous, even if it is ‘just’ FHD+ WXUGA screen. Colors are bright and resolute, and the screen gets plenty bright. If there was one thing I could nitpick, it would be the internal speakers. They are weak on bass, but do get plenty loud. Most times my daughter is using headphones anyways, so that is just a small criticism compared to the overall value to performance ratio. I can’t say enough good about this laptop. If you’re looking for a mid-level, budget laptop that performs well above its price point, the G6 KF 2024 is a good one to drop some money on. Other high points: NVIDIA RTX4060 8 gig video card 32 gigs of DDR5 RAM 1 gig solid state hard drive. Ethernet connection as well as WiFI HDMI output 2 USB connections 2 USB-C connections Micro SD slot

    I only play one PC game - the Cities: Skylines series. My previous laptop had 32GB of RAM but no graphics card, so the game began glitching when my city hit a population of 100,000. I’m currently working on a city with a population of 220,000, and this computer runs smoothly. The sound seems off, but I need to see if I need to make adjustments.

    After about a week of having this affordable laptop monster, I can only say the real drawback is the loud fan. but you can customize the speed which kills the sound the keyboard feel nice and the RGB is very cool, the speed is nice, could use more USBs as well, Two just isn't enough

    Great performing laptop for a staggeringly good price. Runs any modern game currently out and does it well. Only downside is that battery life is quite small so keep it plugged in.

    This laptop runs fairly well. Graphics are smooth, gaming works well on it. My primary use for it is home design software. It runs Chief Architect flawlessly. The only drawback is the loud fans, but it is a gaming laptop so you'll have that. I honestly am not bothered by it, even in my office at work it isn't overbearing at all. Battery is ok when not plugged in. I use it on the smart charge anyways so that isn't a problem for me.

    Honestly for the price and specs this thing is powerful, i do recommened atleast having a coolling fan on it since it does get warm, so far i have not had any problems, using Ray Tracing on portal 1 was maxing up to 60 FPS, and up to 190 without ray tracing, i'd day its worth it for the price

    It's a gamming laptop. So it's got a lot of fan noise while gaming but you use headphones anyway and it's good the rest of the time. Seems better than the 4 year old Legion laptop I replaced that had a failing hybrid hard drive.

    If you are looking for not only a gaming computer, but for school, work, and business computer, this does all three! I have never had such an efficient computer. I was going to purchase a Samsung Book 4 360, but it was 300 dollars more and less capable of this computer. It is priced way below its capabilities! I use this for business, school, and for gaming. It links seamlessly for my 3 different google profiles and to my microsoft outlook on the computer. If you are worried about phone compatability, this computer is fantastic! You can manage messages and calls all via your laptop! Truly an amazing computer! I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

    Overall this is an incredible laptop. You do have to modify it and know what you’re doing to get the most out of it but it luckily worked out for me & I got it at a great price during their Black Friday deals. Highly recommend it.

    Been playing warcraft III Reforged and Diablo 2 Resurrection. My buddy has been playing Valorant. It runs the games nicely. The screen isn't bad for HD. It does tend to run hot when gaming. I have tried using a cooling pad to help. Even though it runs hot it hasn't shut off or had any errors with graphics card etc. I would def find a way to help keep it cooler. Not sure on battery life I play with it plugged in and charging. For the price the specs and performance are not bad.
