The media could not be loaded. It’s Decent when it comes to gaming I was able to run games such as Apex, GTA, Fortnite, Minecraft, and the sims with no problem. It looks really nice and the graphics are really good honestly. The screen size is a good size in my opinion and I love the backlit keyboard. I will say if your downloading a game let that finish because I did have a problem with it running slow when it was downloading but afterwards when it was finished it went back to normal. It’s not bad at all for the price it is. This is a nice starter laptop honestly.

I got this laptop as a cheaper in between as I do not have space for an actual PC set up right now. I saw 3 reviews mentioning the battery life and thought “oh it’s only 3 and charging it won’t be an issue” and decided to purchase it.It is a huge issue.I’m not a HUGE PC gamer to begin with but there are some games that are only PC or PlayStation available on steam I wanted to play. The laptop itself runs great with really no issue at all graphic wise and has not gotten very hot even without a cooling pad. However. Playing higher quality games, even on the lowest graphic settings, tank the battery SO bad.I was at a full 100%, unplugged the laptop, loaded a game and hit play, checked the battery and I had already dropped 4%. Within 20 minutes I had to shut it off. I attempted to play the same game at a later date while keeping it plugged in and the power cord got so hot it physically stopped working and I could SMELL it cooking. It was SO HOT I burned myself touching it. I tried a final attempt at playing unplugged and then plugging it in to charge as needed before the power cord overheated and it could not even charge fast enough to stop the battery drain even without a lowest graphics, low brightness, and energy efficient modes. The battery simply cannot hold up to higher graphic games like Othercide or Stray.Everything else is great, but the battery is a gigantic downside.
