Needed a laptop to replace an older one I had, this thing, for the price is a powerhouse! Now, the battery lasts less than my old one but I haven't really messed with power settings. Great laptop at this price range.

I paid for an open box excellent, but after I picked and returned home, found out the laptop is all scratched up with a few very deep ones. The sides had pry marks on the edges and worn out screws on the back from being opened up many times. One of the screws is the wrong size and don't even fit. This is more like satisfactory grade but they charge excellent grade for it. Came with a small random non original old 2015 Lenovo charger that is underpowered and wouldn't charge the battery. Best Buy totally screwed me on this one. The battery drained unusually fast too.

This is Excellent.Exactly what is to be expected on a laptop, I was thinking of buying a 1200 pc but thank god I found this. I also plugged in a monitor to this and I’m getting above 120 in all the games I’ve played so far.

Straight to the point: this is most sloppy, cheap, weak electronic device I have ever purchased in my life. I have owned several gaming laptops throughout the years and this one is the worst in terms of build quality. Now I understand why the msrp is at $900. The casing, lid, almost everything is made of plastic. There is no form of frame reinforcement. Press lightly on any middle part of the laptop and your body part will sink easily. What youre paying for here are the specs. I also have problems with the hdmi port. My external monitor would lose signal during gaming sessions. Not too happy about it but thats what i get for not tuning my expectations right.

The best, and most affordable laptop for a gamer who wants to upgrade their specs along the way. Strongly recommended. I bought two! Would have bought three, but I didn't have space in my luggage.

While my son loves this laptop it plays the games he likes I do however have some minor gripes about it . The 1st Is the track pad, it is something about it's responsiveness I do not like about it and the 2nd is the battery life. It gets eaten up quickly without the AC adaptor plugged it and I mean it will last maybe 3 hours while gaming on the battery alone.
Other than that it's a impressive laptop for med level gaming on PC. Would have glady given 5 stars but the track pad gets my son frustrated sometimes lol.

A more than capable entry to mid level gaming laptop. Only downside is the low RAM, but it is easily upgradeable.
