I dont know where to start. This last issue, the audio has stopped working. They have customer service reps but they are not always able to help with functionality.

Great for the money.

The computer works amazing for everything I use it for - running my works virtual desktop, streaming on discord, playing in roll20, running casual games like stardew valley and the sims 4. However, the fans are ridiculously loud, even when the computer is idling. I read in reviews that this unit has loud fans, and I thought, how loud could they really be? They are ASTOUNDINGLY loud, it will make you reevaluate your previously held notions of loudness. Any time its on, even if youre just looking at it from across the room and not asking anything of it, It sounds like an ancient desktop tower that has been baking in the sun for hours and is on its last breath from a lifetime of mining bitcoins.

500GB hd inadequate. Needed turbo mode to do VR, its just enough, but not enough to play games. Over priced at the time I bought it for what its made of. Ot enough memory, storage or processing. Its an easy pass, but heck its been almost 2 years,, it wasnt enough then, so why make the review? Moores law..should have been good enough..bottom line its just Amazons skewed ratings

It lasted a little over 2 years and began to malfunction. I looked online and this seems to be pretty common, a hardware failure. Random crashes and a black screen with no bootable device on it. Of course its 3 months past warranty...

Great machine, thank you!

Okay laptop but completely brined out after 2 years

At first I was not a fan of this laptop but actually it’s much better then I thought it would be. The fan is loud and some describe it as “a jet engine taking off” but it keeps the system cool so that is all that counts in reality. The keyboard does change colors if you find the setting in the Predator Sense under lighting. There is some light leakage to the screen but nothing that harms game play or anything. It’s worth it at the price that I got the system.

great

When it works its a pretty good gaming laptop, has a good battery life, runs games well and has beautiful picture. Problem is after a year its practically useless. I bought it in August of last year and now 1 week after the 1 year warranty expired the screen goes black and displays nothing, so if you do buy it at least be sure to get the extended warranty because it will stop functioning. Honestly itd be a much better option to sacrifice some of the performance for durability because 1 year of use is pretty pathetic.
