Good Gaming Laptop
I've been using this laptop for the past three weeks primarily for gaming, and I've noticed several pros and cons about this device.
Pros:
Low Fan Noise: Compared to other gaming laptops, particularly Acer and HP models, this laptop operates quietly, providing a more peaceful gaming experience.
Great Value for Money: I managed to snag this laptop during a sale, and considering the specifications it offers, it's a fantastic deal.
Impressive RAM and CPU Speed: The laptop boasts excellent RAM and CPU performance, ensuring smooth and fast gaming.
Expandable Storage: It has a spare M.2 slot for easy storage upgrades, allowing users to increas...view more
Pretty good
Is a good laptop for the price. Fan is pretty noisy and runs in overdrive when playing games. Games load quickly and are smooth but the biggest flaw is the constant noise from the fan.
Plays and performs what I want it too
Replacing an inconsistent mid range RoG laptop so the fact the keyboard doesn't give up regularly is a great boost. Nice sound, graphics, and cooling fan is way quieter than the RoG. Design is average but that's no biggie for me. I recommend for any moderate gamer
Super powerful
Runs everything I need it to at like 200+ fps
Pretty Impressive
It's definitely worth the pricetag if your budget is under 2500 runs AAA games like Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly and had no problems or issues and its got a nice CPU and Graphics so your games will run very amazing.
Good laptop
Great laptop perfect for my gaming needs runs all games smoothly and high def screen makes for awesome visual while playing
