I got this laptop for my son, and he absolutely loves it. Here’s a quick breakdown of what works well, what could be better, and a few recommendations from our experience:
PROS
* Excellent build quality: Even though this laptop sits around the $500 range, it feels solid, well-built, and more premium than expected.
* Tasteful design: It has a gaming-laptop look without being overly flashy.
* Strong performance for the price: We’ve been running a number of AAA titles at 1080p, and it consistently delivers around 60 FPS in games like Halo Infinite, Minecraft, and Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Recommendation: Upgrade the RAM. Adding a 16GB stick (for a total of 24GB) makes a huge difference. With just the stock 8GB, the laptop felt sluggish at times, which held back both the CPU and GPU. After the upgrade, Windows and games ran significantly smoother.
144Hz display: Gameplay looks and feels very smooth thanks to the high refresh rate.
CONS:
* Limited stock RAM: 8GB is simply not enough for modern gaming. Fortunately, upgrading is easy and affordable (around $40). There are plenty of YouTube tutorials that walk you through it. Here’s the RAM we used:

On the heavier side: This isn’t an ultra-portable laptop. It’s not unbearably heavy, but it’s not the kind of machine you’ll want to carry everywhere.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking to play modern AAA games on a budget of around $500-$600, I don’t think you’ll find a better option than this. Just be sure to budget for the RAM upgrade—it’s well worth it.

I love it! For what your paying for its amazing! a steal honestly its great for work, its fast, great for playing the sims, dbd, pre ram upgrade, but now that I've upgraded to 16gb, i got the kit from Crucial but it can go up to 32gb. Everything runs likes water. It doesn't get hot after a 10 hr gaming sesh. I do have a cooling pad tho ngl. The only caveat to this is that its gonna live on the charger if your using it for gaming fr, but itll last about 3-4 hours if your just doing work and school stuff. It was easy to set up, it was delivered fast and with care. just dont get m*afee as protection!!! windows defender is just fine. but if u want that extra fluff id say get Bitdefender.

This is my very first laptop I've never purchased one before. I really enjoy this laptop I bought it for gaming purposes but I also use it for my personal use, I'm about to see if it's good for my schooling as well. I've had it for a couple months now it's excellent, I take good care of my stuff so you'll have to really persuade me to buy another brand Laptop if this one ever goes out on me.

This is great for older games that don’t require a lot of memory, since it only comes with 8gbs. You will struggle to play modern games on low settings. It overheats when downloading from steam for me. I got it open box for around $400 so it’s a steal, at the regular price, I would stay away and get something stronger.

I am very happy with this laptop. It runs very smoothly and I can play games such as league of legends or minecraft with no issue. The only thing I would like to mention is that I did add more ram to the device as 8gb would be considerably slow and it was a little difficult to remove the back of the laptop to insert the ram.

I just got this laptop, and I’m really happy with it! It’s fast, lightweight, and perfect for what I need. The screen looks great, and the battery lasts a long time. Setup was super easy too. I’m really glad I decided to get this one — totally worth it!

This is a great PC and a huge upgrade to my previous laptop. I searched for over a month, and this was by far the best deal out there, after adding another 8GB of RAM I have been able to play Battlefield6 with no issues.

could handle simple things pretty well, such as google or microsoft if you need a laptop for work. has backlights on keyboard but only white no rgb which is pretty annoying. not a powerful laptop personally i wouldnt classify it as a gaming laptop at all as even some small games cant handle well even on low settings. hinges arent great, gets dirty quickly, fans break easily. laptop guzzles battery if not left on charger, also made sort of cheaply. fans are crazy loud as well but laptop still gets really hot. looks nice and sleep, but kind of bulky and heavy. overall pretty good laptop just wouldn't recommend it if you want a gaming laptop.

This is great computer for someone looking to get into pc gaming for cheap. It runs the games I play perfectly fine. To get the most out of this laptop I would recommend upgrading the ram and getting a laptop cooler.
