I think that 8GB VRAM is not enough. They even gave away game that you can play with low settings because of this limitation....
Other then that i guess it's ok, but not for long...

It's definitely a powerful laptop, the problem is the screen is terrible. It's super blurry and has a ton of ghosting, this laptop is SUPPOSED to support Display overdrive to reduce ghosting, but after recieving an update, I lost access to Display overdrive, and it's unbearable.

Do not trust Best Buy's advertising. They lie.

Best Buy's advertisement promised a $100 game as part of the bundle at the time I purchased this computer several weeks ago. Best Buy has failed to provide the code for the game. Fraudulent business practices like this are harmful to a company's reputation, and are illegal.
It's unfortunate that a company like this would lie in their advertising and basically steal money from their customers during a holiday season.

Someone needs to explain to me why I paid for a laptop with a RTX 4070 graphics card and Best Buy sent me one with a Radeon 780M card. That is not what the advertisement says and the 470 is better than a 780M.

This laptop has caused nothing but issues for me. I have taken it back to the geek squad three times in the past four months to figure out what is wrong with the computer and not working correctly, but they have been unable to identify the problem and just send me back home with the problem still continuing. I would highly recommend buying another brand laptop before wasting your money on trash.
