Genial

Not much hard drive space but was able to add on.

Were having problems with the equipment. My son called the manufacturer and they keep giving him instructions in order to fix the computer software problems, but it didnt work. They just told him to call the customer service line for latin people. This a gaming computer and the computer keep having problems. I want a new equipment because I paid $1,336.89 for this merchandise.

This Laptop gets hot as heck. Even with a high quality laptop cooler. I would suggest looking elsewhere if you want something that wont burn your lap when gaming. After all, it is called a LAPtop for a reason, right?

Right after 6 month of purchase, the machine cannot be booted with no bootable device issue all of sudden.

I disliked the cooling system, it cannot keep up with high graphic games such as Ark Survival Evolved and Riders of Icarus, I have a separate cooling system but it’s so far not working very well, I’m hoping to grab a high powered one soon. I recommend liquid cooling systems. As you can tell, I’m using the laptop for mostly gaming purposes. Everything else on the laptop is great! Haven’t tried out everything though.

This is an extremely high performance laptop with a few of the expected cons of being in this price range (battery life, limited storage out of the box, can get quite hot). Overall the pros far outweigh the cons and I feel great about the purchase. It runs newer games extremely well on high settings without any kinds of performance issues. If you want to get full use of the beautiful 144 hz screen you might need to turn a few graphical settings but its well worth it. I should point out that I did initially have some heat issues with this laptop where temperatures would consistently be above 90c on demanding games which caused throttling and massive frame drops. I fixed this by undervolting the CPU by 100 MV using throttlestop and running the fans at max speed during gameplay. This has completely solved the issue for me. If you wanted to you could also apply a quality thermal paste or buy a cooling pad but its probably not necessary.

Very happy of this purchase

The first one I purchased had major problems with the microphone. It happened rug hut away. In September I returned and got a new one. Yesterday I started experiencing blue screen. I did the updates and have had it got out to blue 11 times. I looked at returning again but was told my return window was up oct 5. Not a reliable computer! Do not buy

Works good at times but screen just started flickering.. its been about a month since I received the laptop.. could be a little better for gaming
