5.0 out of 5 stars Great machine with a few flaws
By Vlad Kurtev
I bought this computer for home use and that is primarily for internet browsing, documents, simple gaming and occasional picture editing. Here are my observation after about a week of use:Pros: Computer is fast, with excellent non-glare screen, nice and responsive keyboard and touchpad, plenty of space and the laptop is very light. Heating exchange is done well, so it is not overheating while on any surface. Power supply is only 65W as it has dedicated intel videocard only so it is not power demanding. Especially love the thunderbolt port which was the main reason I've got this, where I can connect 3 monitors at the same time and really do multitasking when using for business purposes.Cons: That said I spent quite some time resurfacing the software loaded in this machine. Let's start with Windows 11 which I hate dealing with even this is the pro version. From basic menus hidden under multiple clicking until you get where you want to be, extremely slow networking, main icons and functions complete changed from where they were in Win 10 and some older games which I couldn't get to run because Windows 11 no longer support some functions. Luckily Microsoft still gives you the option to downgrade to Windows 10 for free if you have licensed Win 11 pro. The transition is available only from Win 11 pro to Win 10 pro. If you have a computer with Win 11 home, it will not be allowed. So after installing Win 10 everything magically started working better and all the difficulties setting Win 11 to my liking were gone. Also on the left side there are two USB-C ports. The one marked as Thunderbolt wasn't working as such, but the one next to it was acting like one. Once Win 10 was installed, things went the way they should be. So for people like me who highly dislike Win 11 I recommend downgrading to Win 10. One small minus is that the keyboard is not lightened. The other one is that the function keys are not F1-F12 by default but they have their secondary functions on by default, but that can be easily changed.Overall it is a great piece of equipment with the wish it had originally installed Win 10 instead of Win 11.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate product description.
By B Brown
This product is not accurately listed. The "Additional Details" specifically states that it has a backlit keyboard, which was a primary requirement for me, but it does not have one. Extremely frustrated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Runs my Sims perfectly!

This computer is amazing. Definitely worth it. This is the first real gaming laptop I’ve had and it makes a huge difference. Zero lag on my sims and I have almost all the add ons. I played the sims for like 3 hours straight and it barely got warm. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gaming laptop

Excellent laptop. Runs much quieter and cooler then my Helios. Very fast. Works well for what I use it for mainly World of Warcraft but handles other games quite well. Very pleased with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's good, but it could be better

I've been using this computer for a while now, it works very well, but there are times when it stutters, the FPS drops to 0, which usually takes less than 1 second, but it's still very annoying. The screen's 165Hz refresh rate is spectacular, but I did an online test and I'm almost certain it has ghosting, which is also quite annoying. Also it's a bit slow when performing various tasks, such as opening the browser or simply changing categories on Steam.I'm going to add more RAM since the 8GB it has doesn't seem enough to me; I even think that might be the root of the problem I mentioned. So, I'll try to upgrade to 32GB of RAM.But despite all of the above, it's still a very good computer. I like that it comes with the Nitro Sense application and also with Intel's graphics software, since it allows for some customization. The camera looks good and works smoothly in good lighting, but the computer doesn't have anything to cover the camera.You have 3 fan options: silent, balanced, and performance. Expect a lot of noise from the fan in performance mode. Also, another bad thing is that when I connected my headphones with a built-in microphone, the computer only recognized it as audio output, not as both audio input and output, so I had a lot of problems with that. I even had to restart my PC in safe mode to reset everything because I had no sound anymore, so be careful with that, If you experience the same issue, simply open the Realtek Audio Console application, then go to advanced device settings and program it as an input and output.So I think it's a very good computer. You have to do a couple of things beforehand to be ready to use it for gaming or anything like that, but I don't think I'll be changing it for a long time. Just add more RAM and you'll probably be good to go. I'll update this review when I add more RAM to let you know if there are any changes to the stuttering.So my final thoughts on this laptop are that I wish it were more of a turn-on, ready-to-use thing, but I guess you can't expect that at this price. Despite that, I give it 5 stars

5.0 out of 5 stars Best deal on a gaming laptop

Performance: This thing eases through all the games you practically throw at it UNLESS you want highest quality on the LATEST AAA game. You also get frame generation with the nice gpu inside there(4050).Quality, Speed, Brightness: The quality of a laptop at this price point is not something you find everyday, I also love the glossy look on the front panel. The brightness is really really high so no issues here. The speed , well you really need to upgrade this thing to 16gb for 100% usage. It’s absolutely worth it to do it yourself, you will feel incredible for the amount of money you save. Just buy another DDR5 8gb 5200MHZ and install it and you are set for everything really.Issues: Not so much of big issues, just new computer stuff like Driver issues where a usb might bug or something similar. Just update the laptop as soon as you get it.Battery: battery on a gaming laptop has never been good so always carry your charger.All in all, good investment for your gaming hobbies. Just install your ram and carry your charger when moving.
