If it would have worked Im sure it would have been an amazing machine. It came in on a Friday. Set it up and started downloading stuff on a Saturday. Needless to say on sunday when I went to get on the labtop it was flashing a white screen and I couldnt do nothing. Maybe it was just me but be careful.

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.

Been handling beautifully, but the battery is disappointing - not only does it die quickly, it sometimes doesnt warn me when it is low.

For the money it is a really great machine. However if you are running mmorpgs you are almost definitely going to want to get a cooling pad otherwise the fans do get kinda loud. Its cool that you can adjust the fan speed when needed too. Also idk how this will affect anyone else and it may just be a me thing but i have a magnetic closure on a wristwatch that causes the screen to throw hissy fits when worn on my left wrist and making contact with the lower left corner of the laptop (magnets and computers dont mix well lol).

This laptop is a beast when it comes to photo editing. I can run PS, Luminar AI, and Lightroom at the same time and it doesnt seem to even bother this laptop. I suspect it would be great at gaming too. Starts up fast, stays fast, and is an overall great machine.

This laptop was fantastic except it’s GPU died after only 2 years of use. Pathetic quality.

Received this product yesterday, its a GREAT laptop for the price, funs all games Ive thrown at it at max settings and doesnt overheat. Speakers are kind of meh but I hook up a pair of external ones anyway. My one complaint is the laptop I received has the tiniest sliver of dead pixels at the bottom of the screen right along the bezzle (only maybe a 1/2 inch in length). Its not noticeable unless whatevers on the screen is black.

Pro: Great screen, NVME drive, good graphics card and great aesthetics. Easy to take apart to add an SSD or replace parts in. Honestly a good price for the specs.

The value of this laptop cant be understated. There are no real weaknesses here. The only notable problems people may have with it are the fan noise while gaming and the lack of silent fan operation when not gaming. You wont notice the idle whirl of fans unless you are in a completely silent room with no music or headphones in play.

Only had it for a day. Havent done much but set up and install some apps. I will be using this to make videos. And the program seems to run great. I have been using this for about 2 weeks. I have a driver issue and I tried everything to fix but it still isnt fixed. It doesnt seem to be a hinder. After having it for a few weeks, I noticed I have a low battery life. Not a bid deal since I only use it at home, but could be if used somewhere with no plug in available.
