Overheats like mad and died in under a year. You can find way better. It’s a known and very common issue that they don’t give a damn about.

For the price this is a very solid machine - I dont do a ton of really heavy gaming but do play some and it has preformed great. I also use it for solidworks and 3d printing and its been more than enough for my hobbyist requirements. I love the feel of the keyboard and it has a nice screen. Personally I think the look is terrible , it loos like a 12 year old designed it... its too angry and looks like its trying too hard... I also dont really care so its all good as I will not use this for business use and prefer my XPS15 in both size, looks and portability. The bloatware is also a pain for a minute until its all gone.

This laptop was my first jump into PC gaming. I wanted something to edit videos on and also game with, as well as be able to take with me wherever I want. Let me tell you, for $1000 this is one hell of a deal, despite some annoying issues that I will get into later. Im not gonna pretend like I know a whole lot about the technical details, this is just based on my knowledge and personal experience using this.

Chances are you know a bit about computers if youve made your way through all of the laptop options to this guy. If you are new to buying computers, I will break down some of the specs, what they mean, and what I feel their value is. If not, scroll to the end for my final thoughts.

when i recived it When I received it, there was a problem. It took two months for the refund. I also found the customer service many times, but the customer service did not accept it.

This thing is a beast straight out of the box, and with some upgrading will get even better! All gaming PCs as powerful as this one are going to get hot.. deal with it, or buy a less powerful machine

I planned to use this laptop for gaming, but the cooling in the laptop is not effective enough to cool all of the parts. I get frequent frame drops even in games like rocket league and counter strike go on modest settings. The specs at this price are too good to be true. Also, after a month of moderate use, one of the hinges used to open and close the laptop has come out of its framing, which wasn’t due to any dropping. I should’ve returned it when I could’ve.

Pros: Does all it claims to do. Highly advise buying a 1tb or higher sd drive as the 128 included fills very fast.

Love this laptop

Severe high temperatures do not recommend it and tighten
