[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Computer is solid. Fast, display is great. Only gripe is the location of the speakers is wonky so the sound is different than used to with other laptops.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does the trick for what is was purchased for, definitely cool looking and great "guts" for the price. Only issue would be the graphics not where I expected them to be, it could simply be the screen is not allowing the graphics card to output what its meant to - overall a great laptop.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for 797.99 and it is a STEAL. I can run Forza Horizon 5 at ultra settings at an average 90 fps, for reference, and I can play modded minecraft with Complementary Shaders on medium-high settings at a render distance of 20 and be at a stable 100 fps (as long as I have performance mods installed to fix Java Minecraft's notorious optimization problems). I can play Baldur's Gate 3 with mods at max settings with a consistent 60 fps. The keyboard feels good, especially for a laptop, and the screen is plenty bright enough for me. The 120 hz refresh rate is very nice. The build quality is nice and music sounds good on it, for it being a laptop. I just genuinely really like this laptop. That being said, the ryzen 7 CPU is the bottleneck here- I could run minecraft with ray tracing shaders if the CPU was a higher tier one. The GPU is good enough, it's just that the CPU can't process that well enough, and you start to dip into 40-30 FPS range. If they ever have a sale on a laptop with the same GPU, but a better CPU, get that one if you can. But, for the price I got this, it was a steal.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome gaming laptop at a reasonable price. Specs are good, everything runs well. My only complaint is the keyboard is not super responsive when playing games.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cpu/gpu/memory is great for the price. I wish the case was a bit sturdier, I'm a bit concerned with how it will hold up over the years travelling around school and such. I really don't like the touchpad (coming from a dell inspiron). It just bugs out sometimes. The full number pad seems a bit unnecessary and I rather have a centered touchpad. The keys are nice, I really like them. One of them was stuck a bit on arrival and I had to pry out a little piece of plastic... I'm a bit concerned what that was all about. I thought the ports in the back would be weird but I actually do like it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With these specs it should be able to run my games like Valorant, and it does no problem. I haven't noticed an issue with noise while playing and cooling very good. As with all gaming laptops the battery life is a bit short but it can easily be mitigated by putting it in power saving mode when not plugged in if I plan to use it for work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had it for about a month, runs everything great, Minecraft ray traced shaders? No problem, it does pretty good with cooling but I might get a cooling pad. Good investment for sure. 👌
