    I bought it for my nephew's birthday. My nephew said the graphics are amazing, and seems very easy to install more programs, etc. Now I probably have to buy more because my son and other nephew wants one. They love the laptop.

    It doesn't have any problems just inconveniences, such as how loud it is when gaming, reminds me of an old PS4 playing new games. Battery life is good considering it is a gaming laptop. The resolution is nothing to brag about it gets the job done. Other than that it is a good purchase.

    Works great, although it is a bit hard to upgrade the storage since the screws are rather cheap. It took a lot of work to get them out after they stripped. But by itself it is great.

    For the Black Friday price of $900, this laptop is a fantastic deal. The downsides are the battery longevity and 2 USB ports are supplemented by 2 USB-C. Otherwise, everything is lightning fast and smooth for the demanding architectural work I do.

    For my purposes, it works amazing. I got it at a great open box deal. I don’t run any games with crazy requirements, but for the games I play, it is absolutely perfect. This includes Ready or Not, PUBG, Starfield

    A good gaming laptop for a great sale price. Handles all the high end games I play. The battery life could be better but it’s for gaming so it should be plugged in anyway.

    This is a really great laptop for the price, especially when on sale. Both ram slots are available for upgrade, and there is an empty spot for adding an additional drive. It’s a great midrange option, I highly recommend it!
