Many appreciate its upgradability, especially regarding RAM and storage, and find the price reasonable for the performance offered.

    Mixed feelings on this laptop. Out of the box it was making a high piched whine sound. I didn't think much of it, but a month later it started making a sound like it was having an electrical short or some similar issue. Factory reset the computer and it didn't fix anything. Then the NVIDIA GeForce control panel stopped working intermittently. The Alt+Z command didn't do anything. That aside it's a great performing laptop. Screen/display quality 5/5 great color and refresh rate Performance 3.5/5 Good Frame rate even on higher settings. Nothing groundbreaking but it does pretty good on AAA games. Got about 145 on COD cold war, 86 on Far cry 6, 200 on CSGO. BUT once I hooked it up to a monitor the performance went down the drain, even lowered the settings, optimized everything updated the BIOS and graphics drivers it didn't get any better. Bad FPS drops and stutters. Battery N/A I always kept it plugged in Cons Extremely loud fans. High settings they were clocked at 75db, granted they worked, the laptop never overheated even when overclocked to 4.0 MHz Part of the reason I bought a desktop PC was fans annoyed me so much. It's not bad, but definitely has its flaws. Take this with a grain of salt because mine was most likely defective because of the whining and weird electrical short sounds. If it's on sale I'd buy it. I'd say it's worth ≈ $875

    Disappointment

    It started off well for the first few months, but my experience took a strange turn afterward. Specifically, about three to four months after purchase, I noticed it became sluggish whenever unplugged. This situation keeps happening even when just using Chrome for more than 3 tabs and pdf reader . By the way, I do not play any games. My sole purpose is to utilize engineering programs. This slowness makes practically the laptop no use. Also, laptop is so inconsistent in performance. This laptop is so unpredictable and is good at surprising you everytime. For instance, just 2 days ago USB C ports stopped working without any reason. So if you want to get surprised every moment, just buy the laptop and embark upon a very bad journey with it. Btw, its speakers are awful in terms of volume level. You cannot even hear when fans work.

    Is a really good laptop. You can play almost every game at 60 fps. The only downside is the ssd
