Battery is a little mediocre when unplugged

It is my first laptop I ever purchased and I am impressed. I do music recordings and play videogames and all works well.

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.

Love! My games look great on here and I love how silent the keyboard is. I only just got it in today so I will be doing an update after a few weeks! So far definitely would recommend!!

I upgraded from having an Asus flip book from 2014 to this. I am very pleased with it so far. I play the Sims 4 with all expansion/game/stuff packs including mods and cc. No lag. Game starts up instantly, move worlds instantly. The screen quality is pretty nice.

Excellent product! And very goods condition! I recommend it!

This has been the perfect solution for my 15 year old as a gaming laptop. The screen is crisp and it is a great entry level gaming machine. It plays everything on Steam, which is where he plays most of his games. Ive had it for over a year now and wanted to wait on the review. It is still running strong. Im very happy with it.

Okay laptop but completely brined out after 2 years

I took the best care of my laptop, making sure that it was always secure, never dropped, not even scratched, and I only downloaded software that was from verified corporations such as Steam. After only running this computer for 7 days and over-clocking it when it was tanking on frames, the computer would just freak out and shut down permanently. If you try to turn it back on, it simply just restarts over and over again within a 1-3 second time-frame without giving you any chance at all to change anything or modify it. I can assure you that I didnt leave this laptop on for long periods of time, and at most gamed for 6 hours in one day. This has happened to me on multiple occasions and now I have to get the laptop fixed because it wont even start up anymore. Please if youre looking for a good computer, I beg you not to buy this version. Its horrible and it tanks to run good games like COD B03 Zombies. I suggest buying the $1450 version of this computer, as it has a better graphics card, more RAM, and just overall a better computer. Do not waste your money on this, because I promise you its an extremely mid-tier computer that will tank to run a lot of good games. If youre looking only to run games like L4D2 and other low-graphics games like that, then I can assure you that this computer is for you. Other than that, I highly advise you get an upgrade because itll save you from wasting your money. I hope this helped, and let me know if other buyers have encountered the same issue.

I got this for my fiancee for fathers day as a gift from me and my daughter (his soon to be step daughter) and his daughter (my soon to be step daughter).
