However, some users point to shortcomings in battery life and storage capacity as areas for improvement. The screen brightness and potential overheating issues were also noted as concerns by a few customers.

    PC runs absolutely great for any game I have ran apex gets around 170 fps and flight sim the new one runs great. The fans are a bit loud but i got used to them and they adjust per load on the cards.

    Laptop is very good, I was able to run Star Wars Fallen Order at max settings no problem, for the people saying laptop dies while charging just put the laptop in Conservative mode in the lenovo vantage app, i used this setting while playing star wars and it played perfectly. I also upgraded the ram to 16 gbs. This laptop also comes with three months of game pass just go into the xbox app and you should see it. I am very happy with my purchase make sure to get this when its on sale.

    The computer overall is pretty solid in my opinion. It’s not the best option but it’s pretty good for gaming. I was able to run BeamNG, Assetto Corsa, ATS, and ETS2. Although, it has some downsides. The gigabyte storage is messed up. I currently have 236 GB and it’s saying I have used 197. I am using 153 GB on installed apps, other 7.85GB, and temporary files 592 MB. I should technically go up to 160, not 197. It is a pretty solid computer but has bad downsides to it.

    My main intention with this laptop was to edit basic 360 videos. I added 16gb ram. It works but it’s noisy - which is okay. I use it like a desktop. Otherwise, it’s a great value to have these specs at this price. One of the other very appealing part of this laptop is its upgradability. If you’re looking to upgrade in the future, there are many laptops out there that are good value - but they are not upgradable. Or at least, nit easily upgradable. I would easily recommend this laptop to a friend or family.

    Super cheap RTX 3050ti entry level gaming laptop. Nothing top tier here, but the price is very nice. The charger is under powered, which means that even while plugged in the laptop will not get enough power and will simultaneously drain the battery. I could play for several hours, though, and battery would still be above 60% plugged in. Maybe upgrade the power brick and you're fine--small extra cost, but optional.

    I originally purchase this similar laptop in 2021 but with the 1650ti GPU I do believe. After that laptop started having computer problems early 2023 I went to Castleton Bestbuy to purchase an used, like new model of my broken laptop. I purchase the one with the 3050ti GPU and upgraded to Max Ram, I installed several 2tb SSD for better performance, and a sandisk 512GB drive for the best mobile computer possible. Highly Recommend.

    This is a great gaming laptop at the discounted price I bought it at. The full capability is locked behind dual channeling the RAM, which isn't a deal breaker if you were already going to add some upgrades, but that may dissuade those who don't want to. I have mine dual channeled with 16GB RAM and added an extra 1TB NvME and have just been enjoying being able to take my gaming everywhere whether it be Baldur's Gate 3 or CoD.

    I got this when it was $599 for Black Friday sale and wow it is perfect! I do light gaming myself but figured I might as well spend the money on a laptop I could run anything on. My boyfriend used this for apex and valorant and ran it on the highest settings and it worked great! Doesn’t get too hot and just runs super well! :) only downside is the battery is short lived

    Great laptop! I immediately upgraded the RAM and added a 1 TB ssd. The only thing I don’t like is the battery life is pretty bad when running anything even moderately intensive, but I’d you want higher end gaming capabilities with portability, you have to sacrifice something. It seems to go on sale pretty frequently, so if you can pick it up then, I highly recommend it!
