This is my 1st review and a month has past since the laptop was purchased. Prior, it has been over two years since I last owned a gaming laptop and even then, I was in need of an upgrade. While searching for a new laptop, I came across this interesting device. At first, I was a bit skeptical after reading the reviews and comparing the specs of other gaming laptops. But since I was purchasing other items as well, I decided to go with this one. It was purchased on the 18th and it arrived on the 24th, which was sooner than expected.
Once I booted the laptop, I was blown away on the speed of this device. It loads applications at the snap of a finger, very quick boot time to where I can shut down and turn on within 1 minute, and the display is gorgeous.
Now to check and see how the games will behave. All of my games, whether they're emulators or from Steam, looks stunning graphic-wise and runs near-perfectly. The Bluetooth feature was a blessing as my older laptop did not have that and I have old PS4 controllers laying around since I now have a PS5.
The only cons I will point out is the battery life and the fans. The battery life is short when unplugged and it drains faster if running high-demanding games, only allowing roughly an hour and a half of game time unplugged. Also, the fans get loud when running certain games from Steam. I only know two of the games I play (Dead by Daylight & Civilization 5) that kicks the fans into high gear. The fan con, however, does not apply to my other games. I will throw in of the fact that there are only two USB ports, which is not a big deal considering the price of the laptop.
Overall, this laptop does exactly what it needs to do and then some. If you are in the market for a gaming laptop while on a budget, this is a excellent choice. Although I've heard stories of this laptop not being as advertised, it is best to do your homework before making that decision.
