I've had this laptop since December and I absolutely love it. It is the ap00097 and I got a great deal on it for black Friday. This thing runs so smooth, fortnite at 200 fps+ it just handles everything so well, the co pilot AI is a nice feature it helps answer any question I have. This laptop is a well made gaming laptop and can handle anything you throw at it. I recommend
so far I think it's broken and needs to be serviced. It blows very hot air. Hotter and longer and louder than any other laptop I've ever owned. Sometimes the fan is whirring away for no discernable reason whatsoever. I have been trying to process photos using PS and I think there is a damaged graphics card. The system freezes sometimes completely where the only option is to hard boot. Sometimes, I just get an error trying to open a photo where the error says something about a bad or incompatible graphics card. My camera is crap. Looks like I'm in low light even when I'm in a bright room with the light in front of me.
The WIFI is BAD - drops frequently on my not-ancient (but pre-WIFI-6) Google mesh WiFi. A few hours invested in researching and tweaking settings and updates helped a bit and now it gets 2/3 the speed of WIFI on my phone.
Its smooth. I thought the battery life was going to be worse bwcuase you knkw gaming laptops are not known for batter life buts it last a good bit. The screen is big enough to binge shows and play games. I dont gave a problem running any games. Its super responsive and i feel its not rhat heavy imo. All in all ita great for under 1000 i got a rtx 5060 with 16 gb dual channel ram. I dont think you can go wrong. I just hope it lasts long
The RealTEK Wifi6 card is trash and if you have the option to avoid it, I would do so. It will randomly just disappear and restart your system midgame or just doing nothing. Have updated all drivers and BIOS. Have scoured the web looking for a solution with none in sight. Everyone reports problems with the RealTEK cards with similar experiences of adapters just disappearing or having dialup speeds.
