[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Picked this up on Presidents Day sale and I have to say I am very happy with the purchase. I replaced a desktop I build 8 years because as I have gotten older building PCs/using them is just not a priority anymore. I run the laptop as a desktop with 2 monitors hooked up and it runs everything I throw at it. I do recommend getting a quality cooling pad as it can put out some heat. As far as bloatware, it took around 10 minutes to remove everything I didn't want. I do have to say Lenovo Vantage is a pretty amazing piece of software for easy tweaking. If you are looking for a mid range gaming experience then I highly recommend this laptop, though I do have to say I would wait for a sale as they do happen frequently.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with the machine. Very fast, graphics are sharp, audio is fine. Small drawbacks: on the heavy side, power brick is massive, and battery life is poor. None of these are unexpected given the horsepower under the hood. Also, fan can be very loud when playing AAA games like BG3. Hey, it's a laptop, not a tower, right?
