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.

Use it for gaming, university work and programming. This laptop can run triple A titles on the high settings

Works great as a gaming computer. The only concern is the price is expensive.

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.

I love this laptop. Its great right out the box plays bfV at 120fps average maybe a little higher. Great value got it on sale. The screen is really bright and vivid.

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.

GAMING:

I bought this to replace my Dell XPS and I love it. Its so fast and I dont have any 100% disk usage problems that plagued me for years despite tons of troubleshooting. Im a moderate PC gamer but I also use Adobe CC a lot and this computer handles everything. Ill have multiple Adobe apps open and this thing runs with no issues. I spent so much time trying to choose between a surface device, a Lenovo legion, or an hp zbook. Im so glad I saved myself the money and went with this laptop, it does everything I need and more!

Ive had this computer for almost 4 years now, it works as great as ever. I dont know much about computers really, but, its still quite fast for a little laptop and works great! It is OK for gaming, a good first gaming or casual gaming computer, but you are at a disadvantage without the builds that other people have. it has virtually no battery life whatsoever, so dont plan on using this without a charger because it will die in under an hour. Other than that, I seriously love this thing, it was totally worth it. It is very portable, and honestly, there are chargers everywhere nowadays so the battery life is really not a big deal and never really bothered me.

after 12 months the fan keeps making lots of noise. I think the build quality is terrible. The fan is literally hitting the the laptop and is making very load noise. Cleaning the fans and laptop did not fix the issue. The issue is its build quality.
