> 24 hourSuper fast and runs my high process games without effort. For my not-as-resource-hogging games, I love that I can run Minecraft full tilt and it doesnt even require my external fan to be active.

> 24 hourGreat laptop overall the 144Hz refresh rate is straight fire but it overheats way too easily if I want to run big games like fortnite note I am a competitive player I would have to run it at everything on low or off and at 50% graphics if I want 144fps with an extra cooling pad may I add.

> 24 hourThe first one I got was a dud but I was helped by customer service promptly and received a brand new one within a week of finding out the one shipped to me was a dud, excellent customer service on their end. The only thing I have issues with is the battery life but I leave it plugged in mostly anyways so it doesnt really affect me. It can get very hot so if you plan on using this on your lap or where the bottom of it will be covered be sure to by a cooling pad for it, theyre very cheap and basically a must have for gaming with it if youre using it on a poorly ventilated surface.

> 24 hourOverall, great laptop. Start with the bad then Ill go to the good, cause there is very little bad so lets get it out of the way. The screen is flimsy, it has a flimsy plastic case, and with a HUGE 1 inch bezel all the way around they could have sprung for stiffer plastic, so be careful, do not set anything on top of it, any pressure could be disastrous. As many reviews will tell you, this thing gets HOT when overclocking even with fans set to max, I will be investing in a very nice cooling pad for it and update once I see how that helps. Lastly the touch pad, the thing is very poorly made. Its not the least responsive, but the buttons underneath it for clicking are trash, they dont work all the time, and they creak and groan every time you touch the touchpad on the ride side, hoping it doesnt break and is simply annoying. Now for the good. This thing looks downright sick, on top of aesthetics the screen quality is great. Its a great size for 1080p, and with 144hz refresh rate it can run games like Overwatch and the Borderlands series on medium settings with 144 frame rate which is way more important to me than graphics quality, (when overclocked and fans all the way up) with minimal issues. I also run galactic civilizaton 3 on high settings, with large galaxies and fast pacing which is strenuous on a computer as well and this thing handles it phenomenally. The keyboard actually is very nice to type on, feels comfortable when writing essays. The spare storage bay was easy to use, I put a firefox 2tb sshd in it and it works great. Overall it is a great laptop and I have recommended it to several friends and two bought it and love it as well. I do wish that the touch pad was better and the screen was sturdier, but youll probably not find a better laptop for the price or even a couple hundred dollars more.

> 24 hourRespecto al envío y el producto muy bien, me llegó todo en muy buenas condiciones. No doy 5 estrellas porque NO VIENE CON DISCO DURO y hay que comprarlo aparte, sólo trae disco sólido. Además hay que actualizar los drivers de la máquina si no te aparece el molesto pantallazo de No boot device.

> 24 hourEverything is good minus one major issue. After 10 minutes of gameplay there is major heat throttling making it useless for gaming. The specs are great but you cant use them due to the horrible thermal issues this laptop has. I even tried some stuff I read from forums and nothing worked. I even bought a cooler for it and it did nothing. I will be returning this laptop and trying my luck with a different brand.
