    Our 7 year old needed his own laptop for online schooling and this was a great gaming Laptop for the sale price. He loves it and especially that the keys light up in green because he loves Godzilla! It has great performance and what you would expect from HP.

    I play Rust and other multiplayer games. This computer is able to run them effectively. However, the game crashes occasionally, and I feel that this may be do to the 8 gb ram. Games like Rust perform best on 16gb ram. However, if you tweak your settings (lower RAM intensive settings), the crashing tends to stop. I will look into this issue more, because it may also be software related. Aside from that, this laptop runs games very well, and is not overly noisy.

    I bought this yesterday and I am loving it. I like the color green illumination that can be adjusted Off to semi bright to full brightness. The keys are easy and the screen monitor size is just right for me. The sound is amazing with a B&O superb sound. I am giving it a five stars because I already returned two laptops in a span of a few days because one the fan is noisy and the other one the keyboard are hard to see if you have a poor eyesight.

    Bought this to upgrade from a non-gaming computer. So far it has been awesome for all the games I play. Graphics live up to the write-up. The only issue is battery life. But a good buy and a recommended purchase.

    Solid Laptop

    I bought this laptop last year as a replacement for my 4-year old Lenovo laptop during Best Buy's Black Friday sale, and for around $450 for its specs, I think it's a pretty solid laptop to run some games and perform necessary office work. To get an idea of the games it can run, I used to play Fallout, Skyrim, and Assassin's Creed on this without too many issues. I had also used this laptop for work from home when the pandemic started and I was able to perform my work relatively pretty well during the first few months. However, due to the CADD work I heavily do, I don't think this laptop is very ideal when running programs for drafting. Other than that, if you're looking for a decent laptop that can get you through school/distance learning/etc, then this is the laptop for you.

    Works great, wish it had more battery life and wish I'd gotten something with more storage and ram, but for a budget gaming computer, it does play ARK Survival fine, but it barely fits on this computer..

    Got this while in sale and I think it’s well worth it. It’s an early x-mas gift for my wife so she can play a couple games. Ran a few of them and they can all run easily at 60fps on mid settings. Slick and clean look.

    3 kids use it for online games, mostly Roblox, some Steam. The lit keyboard is helpful! The games are much faster, less laggy on this compared with a different (not gaming) computer less than a year old).

    Backlit keyboard comes in handy during late night gaming in the dark. Only drawback is having to leave it plugged in if I want my games to run smoothly at high FPS

    I had to replace my 6-year-old HP Pavilion laptop after an external catastrophic event (my dog knocked over a soft drink into the keyboard and it bricked). On a limited budget, and having been pleased with my old HP, I opted for this one. I have been quite pleased with its performance to this point (I have had it for about a month). I know that there are fancier, pricier laptops out there, but the graphics are a massive upgrade from what I am used to seeing. I use this laptop for recreational gaming (Overwatch, WoW, etc.), podcast editing, and general use. It serves my purposes quite well, and I would recommend it.
