    I purchased this laptop a while ago under the impression it has a 3050 GPU in it, per the name of the product. When you go into description, it stated 3050laptop. I would learn later that "3050 laptop" is a 4 gig GPU, compared to a normal 3050's 8 gig. Sadly i didnt notice till far after i purchased the laptop.

    The best. It runs games very well. The only thing I'd say it's lacking is in the 8 GB of RAM. But thankfully you can easily upgrade this laptop to add another stick of RAM. Other than that it runs very smoothly and a keeper for sure.

    Broken Screen on Arrival

    This laptop stated it was a new item and no reviews existed just yet, so I figured I'd give it a shot. The laptop was not flashy or over the top with rgb as you would expect with a budget gaming laptop. I waited 2 weeks for it to arrive and after digging it out of it's Fort Knox packaging it arrived with half the screen black. I called tech support which took about an hour and a half. They just said to return it no problem and exchange it and that all the best buys are carrying this laptop. I showed up and nope none at all carry it and can only be shipped. So I guess I'll see in a month how it works if the 2nd one doesn't come broken to then I can hopefully change the star rating.

    My son wanted this computer to do college work and gaming, but has had lots of issues with the college stuff. He went into Best Buy for help and they could not help and I was also told we could not return it after 15 days. (It was less then 30 days when we called)
