This replaces a 4 year old predator that my son spilled a glass of water on. Nice replacement. He said it was faster for gaming.

This is a good laptop and does everything that I want it to do. HOWEVER the battery life on this laptop is horrible. Within in hour of it running without being plugged in, the battery has completely died. It has been like this since I purchased in April/May 2022. Very disappointed that if I want to use this when traveling, it has to remain plugged in at all times.

This laptop is pretty fast and great. Only thing is that it might heat up pretty easily.

This laptop usually comes stock with Windows 10 but it seems someone decided to upgrade these to Windows 11. This means that you cant roll it back to 10 by the time you get it (because obviously the 10 days have expired) and if you try to do a clean install of Windows 11, the touchpad will stop working. What fixed this for me was going into optional updates and something being there that said to download if youre experiencing certain issues with devices and such. I hate what they did as the customer should have got to choose whether or not to do the free upgrade and not have this preinstalled.

Well I have had gaming computer but I am just using this computer for zoom meeting has huge issues with crashing and not detecting the camera and mic which is built into the computer so still trying to figure out if I got a lemon pretty disappointed I this computer. I would stay away and maybe get a custom built more money but you get what you pay for.

Was able to do more than I expected with this laptop. I can play a lot of big title games with a mix of mid to high settings. The sound is about what you would expect from a laptop but nobody picks a laptop based on its stock speakers. Says it has windows 10 but you will be asked to upgrade to 11 for free on startup. If youre looking for an affordable laptop to get started with PC gaming, I can recommend this one from my experience.

Pros:

this laptop supports gen4 standard so i just got a gen4 m.2 and is blazing fast! highly recommend.

I am constantly using mine. Perfect for gaming on the go! Great great quality! Kind of want to get more.
