Yes, its an expensive laptop. This isnt for someone who just wants to surf the internet. This baby is a beast. I play The Sims 4 on it with the highest quality graphics possible, and it runs like a dream. It also looks amazing compared to the 2-year-old MacBook Pro I was previously using. Its a great size - not super portable because its really heavy and large, but that wasnt much of a surprise. I just love this so, SO much. As for battery life, when Im using it for non-gaming, its really long-lasting, but it does use a lot of power when Im playing games, so I need to keep it plugged in.

Plugged in the adapter and pressed the power button. Nothing. Total DOA. This is not one of those things. Its a total lack of quality control. Before you put it in the box. Push the button and turn it on. I worked in IT for ten years and after hundreds of units ordered I never had a DOA Apple or Dell.

Excellent for school

Ive had this computer for about 6 months now and it has worked well for me. I havent run into any failures or nagging issues. Im not a heavy gamer but this device plays Cyberpunk and lately Elden Ring with no problems.

Its my first gaming laptop and is awesome. The screen quality is perfect, 144hz are amazing. Ryzen 7 5800H is so fast, rtx 3060 is perfect for all games in 1080p. Temps are ok. RGB keyboard is nice, sound is loud and clear. I love this laptop.

As a beginner gamer, I dont know all the details that makes a gaming computer good. Gaming on this device is a very distinct experience compared to regular PCs and laptops. From what Ive noticed there is no lag on most games, it handles graphics intensive games well, and the hard drive size makes it easy to download multiple games without running out of space. Compared to my everyday laptop (ASUS Chromebook), this handles games without struggling, lagging, or just outright crashing. Ive used this laptop to play most of the mainstream games (COD, Apex Legends, Destiny, etc) and had a great experience. The performance maintained the same smoothness even with adding a controller.

Purples appear blue, reds appear orange, greens more yellow-green. Ive attached pics that show my ~$450 Acer laptop from 4 yrs ago (left) outperforming it in color accuracy (right).

This thing is a work horse and can handle anything you throw at it. Its almost as powerful as my $4k PC!!

Easy to set up, except for the horrible windows 11 which forces you into certain decisions. Performance is phenomenal. Heat is jetted out the sides for the most part but would not recommend laying the computer on your lab but on a metal/wood laptop cooling pad. This is a very heavy laptop.

Definitely a great laptop for gaming. The price-performance ratio is guaranteed. The chassis materials are very plastic, but if you use it carefully there would be no problem.
