Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a good laptop in general, especially considering the price. But after 2 years of use, I found two issues: 8gb of memory its not enough working together this processor and GPU, I had to make an upgrade for 16gb. Doing this, I'm experiencing issues with the battery, it's last just 1 hour without charging.

Bought this for my daughter as a reward for good grades but I end up being the one playing it non stop. I added 8 extra gigs of ram and a 1 terabyte hdd. Bought both from best buy for like an extra $100. Laptop is amazing for emulation and gaming. I run gamecube and ps2 games on it mostly, also games from steam. No slow down or lag on anything. Only downside is the battery drains very fast, so be prepared to just leave it on the charger at all times while gaming. On some high end games the fan gets sort a loud but nothing too noisy. Laptop runs ps2 games better than my ps2 lol. I use my ps5 controller with this computer. 5 stars, especially for the price !

For the $549 sale, I would recommend this pc, but not for $800+. As others have stated adding ram and storage brings this pc to another level. I’m able to play Destiny on high/medium at 85-95+ fps in most scenarios. Cooling seems to be pretty solid as it never goes above 75-80c while gpu is at 99% usage. The battery drain while plugged in has not been an issue for me either, however I would buy the 170 watt adapter if it does become one.

Best laptop I've ever owned. Took a chance because there was a decent sale and I'm am very impressed with the way it handles my games. I did add an additional 8 gigs of ram bringing it up to 16 and I would highly recommend doing the same if you purchase this. Well done, Lenovo!

Wow just looking at my history and seen i bought this 2 years ago already. This computer is great! Got it for my then 11yr old to plays games on. He used to play fortnight online and this was great for that. He still uses this for other games and just regular use. Nothing has gone wrong with it. Still works as it should!

its a excellent laptop for gaming for work and for school its have a excellent performance multitasking performance. its easy to use and its perfect for whatever you want to use

This laptop runs smooth and doesnt lag. The only cons about this laptop is a storage and battery life. The storage you can fix by buying a external storage but for the battery life, i am running with all high settings, it only gives me 2hrs. Im a electrical engineering student and so far its been great if you dont mind the battery life. Its able to run matlab, excel, adrunio at the same time without it lagging. Cant run xlinix due to it being windows 11 since its not supported but i am able to run a burtual desktop which also runs smooth. I can play gta 5 with the highest settings and fortnite too.

Let me start off by saying right after I received this laptop in the mail, before doing anything I immediately upgraded the ram to x2 8gb 3200Mhz Crucial ram sticks giving it dual channel and installed A 1tb Samsung 980 nvme ssd which I played both the following games on. I purchased this laptop as A Christmas present for my sister who only really plays The Sims, which this laptop plays flawlessly between 250 and 300 fps without overclocking. However before I wrapped it up and stuck it under the tree I just had to test it out for myself and put it through a little stress test so I downloaded Valorant and played it for A good 3 to 4 hours using the Lenovo Vantage overclocking system. The laptop handled the game surprising well hovering around 85 to 95 fps during gameplay, and the GPU temps never went over 85 degrees. The fans are quite impressive but are also quite noisy with the vantage overclocking turned on. However the one major issue I found during this gameplay is the charger can’t keep up with this type of gameplay for very long, it’s only a 135w charger. I started out playing the game with the laptop fully charged at 100% and plugged in charging, by the time I was done playing, not unplugging it once, the battery was down to 35%. I don’t know why Lenovo doesn’t give you the 170w or 230w charger that the legion uses, but it is what it is. So with that said, in my opinion if you’re going to use this laptop for light gaming like playing The Sims or other games of the sort to your hearts content, or playing high demanding eSports tittles for only a few hours at a time, this will be the perfect laptop for you. However if you plan on streaming or playing competitive eSports titles for hours on end, I would go with something like the Lenovo Legion 5.

Picked this up for some casual gaming. It exceeded my expecations. Can play AAA games at medium to high, which is amazing for the price.

The computer is as advertised. I agree with most of the other comments. Great for gaming, but needs additional memory. Battery is drains quickly when gaming, but does fine if plugged in. Overall I would recommend this computer.

I bought this lap top at best buy in Mankato Minnesota. I love it I can play games, check my email, go on social media accounts ect and do my home office work off it it. My screen resolution is amazing! It's very easy to use. It's highly durable which was a big deal for me in deciding my purchase. It has the desired amount of storage space which was a big factor in my decision as well. I have already transferred a ton of family photos and videos as well as my music which really means a lot to me. In all I am extremely happy with my purchase. On a side note the staff at best buy in Mankato was highly knowledgeable and helpful in helping me pick which lap top I wanted. I would definitely buy another one.

a good budget gaming laptop. battery life is poor but its need to be plugged in all the time while gaming anyway. screen brightness is low also hard to see when bring it out to sun light

Will run COD & Fortnite with no problem, Runs a little warm when gaming but nothing that affects performance. Upgraded a 1 tb SSD and 32gb ram and it a great little laptop.

This model was on sale for $500. Worth every penny, especially when I changed the RAM and added memory. Easily the best choice for a budget, and if you know how to take care of your equipment, this can last for 10 years.

Very good performance, value for money, I have been using it for 3 years to play and it is in perfect condition.

I bought this during a Black Friday sale for $550 with the intention of replacing the RAM and SSD with better ones. I upgraded the 8gb RAM to 16 gb and the 256 gb to 1 TB. In total I paid ~$700 including the new parts which feels like a steal. This laptop runs awesome; I bought it for both school and gaming and it handles both great. I normally play on my PS5 so this has been a great addition to occasional PC gaming. This truly is a fantastic pick for those looking at getting a budget friendly gaming laptop. I’m very impressed how well it has run my games so far. Keep reading if you’re looking to upgrade the parts like me: As far as the RAM, this laptop comes with a single 8gb RAM (not a x2 4gb), but it has the space for two, so I purchased 16 gb (8gb x2). If you wanted 32 gb you can, I felt 16 was adequate and spared me the extra $50. It was very easy to replace and the laptop automatically updated itself with the new RAM which was painless and seamless. The SSD storage: this laptop actually comes within 2 different SSD slots. The 256 gb is a SATA SSD but it also comes with an M.2 SSD slot. I thought I was going to have to replace it entirely which would have been a bit of a pain since it has all the windows software. So I easily added my 1TB M.2 PCle as an addition. I now have two separate drives but I have more space than I anticipated and didn’t have to deal with the pain of reinstalling windows software. All of this took about 30 min with no hassle so I was able to build a real solid school/gaming laptop for a great price.

This is a great budget gaming laptop. It runs multiple games at 1080p with high settings or 1440p connected to my monitor at medium settings. I use it to play my MMOs and havent had an issue with them running over 100fps.

Great deal at its discounted price, it can run spiderman miles morales at medium settings. Plus you can upgrade its ram for better performance and its internal storage for more space.

Great beginner laptop! While it's not top of the line by any means, it does a good job at handing today's games. I would definitely upgrade the memory on this laptop though.

Perfect startup gaming laptop for my son. Not only is it great for gaming with its amazing gfx cards … it’s also great for everyday tasks like his schoolwork. I recommend adding the extra 8 GB of RAM and install.
