    • Great laptop for the price
Capacity: Intel i5-13420H Style: 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD
Review Image by Angela Angela
This laptop arrived brand new in its manufacturer’s box with no damage to either the packaging or the device itself. It has a high-quality matte finish that feels smooth to the touch and doesn’t easily attract fingerprints or dirt. The size is great. While it lacks a numpad, which I use pretty religiously, I’m fine with that tradeoff given the overall functionality and power. Battery life is on the shorter side, though that’s expected for a gaming laptop. On energy-saving mode, mine lasts about two hours. I’d prefer a bit more, but since I mainly use it at home or occasionally take it when visiting others, I don’t mind keeping it plugged in. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for someone who needs reliable battery life on the go. The screen is excellent for its class: bright, crisp, and true to color. HD videos and games look great with no dullness or wash-out. The RTX 4050 GPU delivers sharp rendering and vivid contrast, and the display complements it perfectly. Some laptop screens can ruin a good GPU’s output and this one definitely doesn’t. Performance has been consistently smooth. The system is highly responsive with no noticeable latency during installations, updates, or while running demanding programs. I tested Monster Hunter Wilds today, and it ran beautifully with medium settings and fluid performance, though the laptop did get quite hot under load. It could potentially run it at higher settings, too, considering I noticed no performance loss. I’d recommend using a cooling pad for extended gaming sessions. I’ve also run large, multilayered Photoshop projects with no slowdown at all. It handled both creative and gaming workloads effortlessly. Overall, this laptop offers excellent performance for the price, a gorgeous display, and strong build quality. Just be ready to keep it plugged in and cooled if you’re pushing it hard. ... show more

Upgraded my 9 year old 17" apache pro msi laptop to this. Great size and weight for a backpack/carry on luggage for travel. Love the type-c with display port, great upgrade from my last laptop for daily gaming as well as general use functionality and portability. Upgradeability is pretty good with swappable RAM and space for an extra 2.5" ssd or hdd ... show more

    • Amazing!
Capacity: Intel i5-13420H Style: 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD
Very happy with this! Been playing high graphics games, and it works great, plus plenty of storage. Sometimes Google will start lagging, but it's not a problem for me.

The performance was amazing, perfect for genshin. However, if you're looking for a laptop that has a long lasting battery, this might not be for you. But that's how all gaming laptops are. It's a trade-off im willing to make for good graphics and amazing performance.

    • Not happy
Capacity: Intel i5-13420H Style: 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD
Ordered this for my son. He set it up and about half hour later the screen blacked out. A brand new laptop just blacked out on us. We couldn’t do much to it so returned it. The seller charged me a restocking fee on it as he said the computer was locked. Yes it was as we had set it up before it blacked out. The seller reached out for the passwords but had already charged the restocking fee. I sent the passwords to them right away but I had to go thru Amazon A to Z claim to get the restocking fee refunded which took a few calls. ... show more
