Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been through a ton of laptops as I am coming from a Macbook Pro 16 M3 and wanted a Windows machine that could try and keep up. Best Buy hates me as I have probably bought and returned about 25 laptops in the pasts 3 weeks as they just weren't cutting it. This laptop had a visual appeal to me as I wanted a white machine. Then I learned that I could upgrade it as the memory and SSD weren't soldered to the board. I started with the Intel Core 9 and actually returned it for the Intel Core 7 as the Geek Bench scores were higher in the Intel Core 7, they say less heat so less throttling. I then upgraded the memory to 64 gigs of DDR5 and added an addition al 2TB SSD. Then I tweaked the setting to make Windows even faster. Now I have the perfect laptop. I don't game but I do a ton of photo editing as I am a sport photographer by hobby. I am fine with the 4-5 hour battery life as I have the Sharkgeek 170w battery bank and it charges laptop to full from 60%, I still have 53% left in the battery bank. Cons for me are the speakers that are not that great and it will take some time for me to get used to the off centered trackpad as I have no idea why these companies now add a numeric pad on any laptop under 17". One last small inconvenience is that due to the weird lip on the back of the shell, it is hard to find a sleeve case that will fit this laptop.

This computer is very fun to use. The specs are good for playing open world games on steam with great detail. I bought it for casual gaming, but the quality of the computer may result in me playing more video games that I originally anticipated.

Best laptop in market if you are not going for crazy budget. Using it for 7 months no issue
