Best deal for a gaming laptop super fast and there is turbo mode on it i love it . It even comes with a carrying case and screen protector. I love how they package it very professional. I like the brand new smell . Well designed gaming laptop with RGB and predator RGB software installed. Comes with upgrade ssd kits . The one i got just came out in August 2021 RTX 3060 11th gen i7 cpu . Over 100 FPS latest games GTA 5 and cyberpunk 4k settings

Heres what I like

The good: excellent gaming laptop. Handles anything ive thrown at it.

I had this computer for 1 week when the fan over the cpu stopped working. It currently in the shop. And this worries me. Is this an indicator of whats to come.

Pc is awesome! Only problem was the courier, Canada post doesn’t deliver as describe on the order, heads up. Other than thar, great pc, great packaging, arrived in great conditions.

Using mini dp to vr game star wars and Alyx at medium seems playable, 70+frames in boarderlands 3 hdmi out. Rtx stays below 80c. Although Ray tracing enable destroys this card in guardians of galaxy. Still pretty solid 1080p machine. With ray tracing enable I cannot get the card to max wattage for some reason it tops at 95w ): maybe driver issues. My screen does have bleed through but it’s not noticeable while watching movies or YouTube so it not to bad to me . The included 512 ssd is pcie gen 4. The aluminum is nice and keyboard is good too. Upgraded to win 11 easy. I like this laptop a lot, can be loud though.

I bought this with an intention to also use for pave, it works, although steam displays a message the stats don’t work, he steamvr test passes with flying colors. I use this daily, for work and for play. With games such as Skyrim, hitman and beatsaber, I am impressed. My only issue with this might be the heat, but this is normal for a laptop considered the right space. This can be helped by buying a good laptop cooler base. So far so good, I would also buy a laptop cleaning kit, keep those vents clean!

This laptop usually comes stock with Windows 10 but it seems someone decided to upgrade these to Windows 11. This means that you cant roll it back to 10 by the time you get it (because obviously the 10 days have expired) and if you try to do a clean install of Windows 11, the touchpad will stop working. What fixed this for me was going into optional updates and something being there that said to download if youre experiencing certain issues with devices and such. I hate what they did as the customer should have got to choose whether or not to do the free upgrade and not have this preinstalled.

First time buying a gaming laptop. 512gb isnt too much but luckily, theres a second sdd slot so just slap a 1tb sdd in and your set. 16gb of ram has been sufficient for my gaming. I usually just play warzone alot and it runs smoothly.
