So far no issue with this laptop, it isn't the fastest and NEEDS to be upgraded out the box. For the price this is perfect.

This is responsive but it is uncomfortable because the lid doesn't hinge far enough back/. I wish it had touchscreen.

I took this laptop back and exchanged it because the screen was glitching and blacking out. Got the new one home only to find it is doing the same thing…

Screen is very nice, keyboard is great, performance is there.... but the fans are very annoying when not under load. Sadly I couldn't stand the high pitch noise when when surfing the web.

This product is the perfect example of you get what you pay for. It’s acceptable which isn’t the highest quality graphic card you can buy. Intel CPU holds up great vs AMD. Best Buy is a great retailer because I personally wasn’t aware with gaming specs but the specification ratings are 100% accurate. For $500 this laptop is worth the price. If your looking for streamer quality specifications or a laptop that’ll be around 3 years from now I would go for a 16gb ram or higher , GeForce RTX 3050 ti or higher with a Intel CPU. If you’re looking for basic gaming at almost one of the lowest prices then this is the one. FiveM exceeds the graphic card capacity at ultra high/ highest settings so be prepared to run at medium settings. Battery life is very weak.

Battery Life is less than 2 hours without gaming. Can't change keyboard brightness, it's like a flash bomb.
