Great reliable

Glorious ! A truely epic machine that doesn't disappoint. The battery life could be longer tbh.

While I did have issues booting it due to Windows 11 updater, (Not the computer's fault), once I fixed the windows 11 issue it worked just fine. Now it runs fast and its exactly what I need in a laptop.

Good computer. Comes with a ton of BS preloaded programs. Computer runs much better after it’s cleaned up a bit. Also, and this is a must: buy a cooling dock for under the laptop. The fans kick into high gear with the smallest program. We put a cooling dock under it and it’s definitely helped a ton.

I needed a laptop that could/would run Windows 11 and was cheap. I have 1 count them 1 program that HAS to have windows 11 (cough cough intuit cough cough) because it's more "secure". So this showed up in the Amazon suggestions and it's a good collection of hardware (small hard drive but it's not embarrassed). It's called a "gaming" laptop and with a 4050 gpu you could use it for one, but a 15" screen? This laptop however, in my opinion, is a little on the "plastic" side. I have several MSI laptops, all gaming laptops (I buy gaming laptops because they come with Ethernet ports), and they are solid hefty laptops, I wouldn't have a second thought about putting on in a backpack. This laptop, I would use lots of padding, the case feels like it would shatter on the first drop. I won't be hauling this around, and this was a good deal. I did upgrade the hard drive to a 1tb. It's working fine. I'm happy with the laptop. It does what I needed.

Good performance. Remember to use the provided power cord, this won't work with a USB-C.

The bad: The case has some sharp edges and feels cheap. It’s so lightweight that I had to buy an additional case to put it in so I don’t break it when taking it to work. This gets really warm, even just using excel with nothing else running. I can’t imagine how hot it gets running a game. Battery life appears to be 2-2.5 hours so far. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but my last laptop could go twice as long and it’s 8 years old. Probably not a good choice if you’re using it for school work and don’t have access to an outlet for an extended period of time. The backlit keyboard is nice, but it’s only one color. That’s a big bummer. No keypad which really sucks. I don’t really game anymore, I just use excel for work. The picture depicts this and I missed it, so that one’s on me. The good: Quick to boot, great monitor and overall it’s pretty fast. It’s lightweight for traveling. The 144hz refresh rate is nice.

Laptop is great, prefer it to my gaming desktop at times. I plug it into my widescreen monitor w the usb to hdmi cable, more for work and school and games. As far as gaming goes I don't do much, played a few games CS, madden, Ready or Not and never had any issues with anything. I think I got a great deal for this thing, speedy, lightweight, sound is about a 7/10 but hey my $700 Oled doesn't even include speakers so whose complaining.
