    Certainly one of the options. I purchased this product on sale for $550 (-$250) and I can certainly say that it is worth $600. It will run anything you throw at it until you decide to run Gunfire Reborn or Cyberpunk 2077 or some such. With the SSD included inside, loading times are cut down significantly even on games it can run fine. Overall, if you just need a computer for modern gaming and maybe emulation, you're here. If you want the cutting edge tech and ultra settings on C2077 or Infinite Memory, keep looking.

    Very good build quality, and it performs as advertized. Onbviously, you ant running 4K AAA games on here at 240fps, but for a laptop, nothing i play lagged in the 1440 display, constant 120hz never really got too hot.

    Nice starter gaming laptop. Serviceable processor and ram. Could use more storage though. Poor battery life though. But this is typical in the gaming laptop space.

    This laptop is ok for daily use. But if you want to use it for productive activities it will not give a satisfactory performance. The graphics is a primary series one. RAM is also needs to be upgraded.

    Nice Laptop - Flimsy Display

    This is actually a really nice laptop. I've had 1 issue with it that needs mentioning, the display, while looking excellent seems to be on the flimsy side. I closed the laptop, set some printer paper on it to load into my printer, BUT, when I opened the lid again and started the laptop, the display was cracked and UN-useable now so I have hooked to a spare HDMI monitor. Hopefully BB can repair it when I bring it to them. All in all, I did buy a 2nd one for family member, just need to warn them about display. Note: the display looked great when it worked.

    Great laptop. But not truly a gaming "laptop".

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If this was truly a gaming "laptop" there would be an option to use that 144 Hz display with built in discrete GPU. You have to have an external display connected & internal 144 Hz display turned off in order to use this laptop for true gaming which negates the idea of gaming on internal display. You need to be tethered to an external display to game with it. When you see that it has an internal 144Hz display it makes you think you can game on it & you just can not game on it. There is no option to use the discete GPU with internal display. The iGPU is handicapped by being cut down to half of the normal resources that most laptops get with most modern intel processors so not game friendly at all. Other than this very glaring fault it is a great laptop. It has a very fast processor that can give previous generation midrange desktop processors a solid run for the money. Having 8 real cores even if 4 are efficiency cores are better than 6 cores with hyperthreading of previous generations. Both have total 12 threads. This laptop comes with a very fast 500 GB PCIE-4 M.2 drive & this laptop is very responsive. Unfortunately there is no internal space to add more storage & only one of the internal memory slots is populated. This brings me to the upgradability of this laptop. In spite of what i have read it is upgradable but not easily. I managed to do it myself in spite of having had a stroke a few year ago for which makes my left hand very shaky. The 2 hard parts are removing the bottom cover & upgrading SSD as the SSD in encrypted which required special software tools to clone if you dont want to reinstall operating system. Once I reinstalled the operating system it is automatically re-encrypted. I recommend having a computer technician to do this. I also added an additional 8 GB of memory. That was the easy part. It is now running in 2 channel mode whereas stock was only 1 channel. There is no extra port internal to add even another M.2 drive so any added storage must be external. Fortunately we have an external dispay to attach it to at home & therefore could in fact use the discrete GPU so all is not lost. My recommendation to purchace is based on use case that as a gaming computer it be looked at as a desktop replacement. Not a laptop when gaming. Performance when gaming will still be on low end of gaming performance but usable with 1080P & max medium settings to get good frame rates & smooth game play.

    This laptop is a great machine for entry level gaming. My wife and I got one for my sister-in-law as her first gaming laptop and thus far it has been a great machine for all her gaming needs.
