If you're trying to use this unplugged don't expect it to last very long. Obviously, it's not a top of the line gaming laptop but it plays all the games I've cared to try! RDR2, Borderlands, Bioshock, LoL, SC2, GTA 4/5, ETC

Works great. Right before the warranty was up I got a weird white area on the screen but the warranty covered it. Fast, does everything I need it to

I bought it to be able to use it in the university, enough for engineering programs and office.
It is also useful for basic gaming. Like Portal, bread and freed, GTA V.
The only drawback would be the battery life, in a combined use it lasts 2-3 hours.

Really great laptop. Love that I can flip it around and use it as a tablet as well. Very user friendly. Battery could last a bit longer. All and all a great purchase.

Great Laptop for Music Production

Best Decision I could’ve made, Great speeds, never lags, downloads big files and multiple at a time, runs great with FL Studio Literally No Underruns/ Crashin, Same for Ableton as well, Only thing I recommend is that you prepare yourself for having a small desktop because the battery life does suck badly especially if backlit keys are on but you get about an Hour & 30 Mins of use until battery has to be charged up 2 at best but I literally use at home or in spaces I can charge it. So overall a great product just wish it had more battery life but for Studio uses I highly recommended

The performance to price ratio is excellent. For this price range you get an awesome overall balanced laptop. Good screen, excellent GPU performance as well as CPU. Cooling is nice. The only downside is battery life, but it’s expected from a gaming laptop. Overall it’s an fantastic one.
I would rate it 8.5/10.

Good Value, Easy to upgrade

For the price this is an excellent value. You get a dedicated gpu with 4gb of vram which allows it to run most game’s decently. It is an older one though.
8gb of Ram isn’t great, but for $20 you can upgrade to 16gb and this laptop is really easy to open up and pop in the Ram.
Storage again isn’t amazing. But there’s an open NVME slot and you can easily pop in more storage.
I got the laptop for around $500. With $100 of parts and 20min of time, I now have a laptop that would have cost 2 or 3 times as much.
Battery life sucks but that’s to be expected with a dedicated gpu. Screen is 144hz which is nice, and looks good enough.

Excellent Entry-Level Gaming Laptop

It's an excellent choice for an entry-level gaming laptop. Great value. The GTX 1650 suffers a little because of its 4GB size in GPU-intense games, and CPU and memory are more than enough for everyday workloads. Although, I upgraded to 16 GB of RAM because 8 GB is not enough. Since I leave it constantly plugged in, I haven't tested the battery life. The screen is clear, and the 144Hz refresh rate is perfect! I waited until it was on sale for under $600. I highly recommend it.

A decent laptop for the price. I don't do gaming but still for a home PC it fits .
A little bit noisy fan. Apart from that I do not have any concerns for the price

Very satisfied. Only drawback is weight and the typeface of the keyboard. Didn’t buy it for gaming but for the price it has the primary things we wanted: 512GB SSD, 8GB Memory, and the numeric keypad.

Great starter gaming laptop

My 9 year old was begging for a gaming computer. With the Black Friday deal we got in 2022, it made it a doable.
Now this computer does not have a huge memory, so he can only have Fortnite or apex legends downloaded, but not both. That frustrates him and has him asking for a new gaming computer that has more space.
He is rough on electronics, so we had to make sure he was going to be responsible and not destroy something so expensive.
This laptop has held up well and has done a lot of traveling, overall I would recommend for a starter that is a low cost option.

It's a decent starter laptop. I would recommend saving a bit more money to buy a PC or a better laptop. However, if you do get it, it will likely get the job done.
