    I will say that the computer is Great for beginners especially the 8GB Ram with half a terabytes. Some game stutters a bit but with 16gb of ram and 1TB of storage will be a fun experience and no need to worry about your game lagging or Crashing. Ive been using it for weeks, is fast, smooth and perfect for my study, and video game. I would be playing fortnite at around 120fps on creative and 70 on battle royale, the fan doesnt make much noise, device will get bit hot. but after finishing gaming, in 3 or 5 minutes the computer will be cool quickly. Batterry is great, but if its for gaming without a charger it'll drain immediately. If its for web search or watching videos, it'll be a decent battery life. It does last long, somewhere to 4 or 3 hours.

    Awesome laptop for the price I got it at during Black Friday. Ordered another 8gb stick of ram, (Samsung which is the OEM to my surprise) and now it’s really screaming. Will run any Esport game at maxed out specs if that’s your thing, and most AAA games are playable at medium-high settings. Running Witcher 3 on high settings at 1080p gets me an average of 68fps. Outside of that, it’s just a fantastic laptop for general computing, and the full size keyboard is easy to pickup within just a day or two. Very happy with my purchase.

    I bought it as a early Christmas gift for my daughter. The computer is great so far for gamer that are into Roblox and Minecraft. Also to play games from Xbox Game pass. I only speak of those games cause that is what my daughter plays. I can't talk for games with more graphics.

    I was able to pick this laptop up for $430 and as long as you can get it under $500 I think its a great value. The 6550M can handle most games decently well, the main compromise is the 4GB of VRAM but for casual gaming its fine. You wont be playing anything crazy on here with crazy settings but for casual gaming or even bigger games on lower to mid level seetings its great. My main areas of concern are the RAM, 8GB isn't nearly enough. I would HIGHLY recommend picking up at least another 8GB of RAM maybe even more depending on what you are using it for. 8GB of single channel RAM in 2024 is painful. My other main issue is the 512GB SSD, just like the RAM it isn't enough. Many laptops compromise on storage so this is to be expected but I would highly recommend expanding your storage. Overall for work and casual gaming this laptop can't be beat at a sub $500 price point. Just add some storage and a bit more RAM and this is a cheap yet solid machine.

    It would make it a 3.5 if I could because the battery only lasts like 3 hours of gaming and the performance is decent enough to play but I’d recommend building your own pc with the amount of money you were gonna waste with this product and buy better specs with the money

    Got it on sale plus with open box excellent. With an AMD 6550M 4 GB VRAM slightly better than the 3050 4 GB variant, it can handle 1080p low graphics settings games in 2024. You will want to buy more RAM, however, since it nearly always uses 90%+ of its 8 GB RAM simply by running a game like Valorant which uses 2.12 GB. There are some color backlit keyboard options, decent IPS 144 hz display, and so you're able to get a start into modern video games at a modest price, while still being able to have a laptop that can blend in as an office computer. For those reasons, it is good.

    Great laptop for gaming, although it could come with more RAM. That's okay because to upgrade the RAM doesn't cost any more than around 50 bucks, but with the upgraded ram it plays games flawlessly. The ram that it came with was a bit lackluster and had my games stuttering every now and then.

    bought it mainly for Fortnite and runs nicely even on high settings. wouldn't say its worth the regular price of $800 tho. i bought it on sale for $480 and thats what i think should be the regular price. theres definitely way better laptops for cheaper than $800. 8gb ram is manageable but gets annoying after a while so i recommend getting a 16gb ram laptop or just upgrading it once u get it

    I purchased this gaming laptop for my son and he loves it. The machine plays all of his games at +60 fps and has been averaging 100+ fps. The laptop runs cool for having an AMD processor. We added 16gb ram to bring the total ram to 24gb(8gb is pre installed). This I recommend.
