    The laptop is very good, its only drawback is that I wish the battery lasted a little longer. I expanded the storage and added more RAM, and now I can play almost anything.

    Great price for the performance you get. Clarity of display is good and snappy. Nice to include extra parts for upgrading. System comes with an empty hard drive slot and and SSD slot. Only thing I will say that sucks is the battery. I may have gotten unlucky with a bad one but my battery is doing good to last an hour. I'm not running anything intensive either. Otherwise a very good budget gaming laptop.

    I word recommend this computer it’s a good gaming computer and for some one going to school or college it comes with 8 gb of ram I would recommend putting 4 more gb of ram to have a total of 12gb of ram it has two slots for the ram. Comes with 256gb of ssd. You can add more memory I add another 1tb of ssd and I left the 256 gb but I world leave windows on the 256 gb and if you add more just to have more storage on your computer it’s your option.

    So far it has worked very well. I am not a huge gamer but when I do it holds up just fine other than battery life with full graphics running is rather short but that's to be expected. So far I have been quite satisfied with this machine.

    It came with some parts upgrade, HHD storage or something, thats pretty cool as its an free upgrade. One question i have about the laptop is that it’s a lot dimmer then the other laptops i’ve used before. Have to turn it up to 50% to see dark images, like when watching a horror movie. How do you fix that? Over all is good though, since I got it when its at an discount.

    Do NOT buy this computer under any circumstances

    I would give it zero if that was an option. I bought it for a class that required a specific video card. It worked long enough for me to load the software, get to the class, start it up, and then it failed loudly as the instructor started the class. By loudly I mean, the screen went blank, everything froze and there were audible commands to slide something but there is no slider on this computer. (The audio also did not make sense because of whatever was failing.) It finally shut up so we could start the class and I had to use another computer at the facility. Basically, after that, I would get the Lenovo screen, and then things would go black afterward. And, if you return it, BB will act like you have spilled something on your computer if this happens to you so even returning it is a pain. Anything will be construed as evidence of a spill so there is that too. I almost got stuck paying hundreds of dollars for a dead computer with a manufacturing problem. And this is the first time anything like this has happened to me.
