    "i still am confused as to why the model description of this item is different in the store, on the case and in the software….. anyway i may return it because i am not sure if the 3050 gpu is up to the job for gaming. but overall, it is really a nice laptop…..the screen is beautiful and bright ,the speakers are average, no reason laptops can’t have more base….and everything else is better then good. i rate this laptop a solid B…..for the price you can not go wrong...But I don't really care. It's not built as rugged as a Zenbook, that's for sure, however the laptop is very light weight for all of the beef it carries and the fan is super quiet even with graphics maxed out on Forza 5. ...Really nice laptop, I'm happy with the purchase...just a good laptop"
