Wonderful laptop! Just wish I got it with a deal instead of full price… Laptop runs really well and never skips a beat when gaming on it. The CPU is based on desktop silicon! With 16 cores and 24 threads! 8GB of dedicated video memory is wonderful too. Perfect for games that need lots of rendering. The laptop does not overheat. I never got mine to overheat. The keyboard is a nice keyboard with the mini-LED per key lighting. The keys have a nice click to them. The construction of the laptop is really good. All metal with a plastic bottom cover. The laptop has no bending when holding it by a corner. Only problem with the metal is that it gives off the light gray metal color in scratches. The computer is very scratch resistant, but my watch band metal managed to start chipping paint away. Electrical tape hides it. The screen is a decent screen that offers 165hz refresh rate, which is plenty for someone who gamed on a tv all their life. The trackpad is nice too. Only complaint is that it can be difficult to use right click in games like Minecraft. Definitely get a mouse. That’s all!

Love this laptop, My only issue is it's getting a little hot. Im guessing it's the battery. It is also a little bulky, but that is what you get with am 18". The graphics are great and the big screen is wonderful!

I love this computer. I’m so happy I took my bf’s advice and switched to a computer to play fortnite. It handles fortnite very well, which is great because my other computer wasn’t doing very well. Lol. I love the keyboard with the pretty lights and how customizable the colors are. It has all 4 of my favorite colors on it now since I picked my own colors. It’s super easy to use. Very fast. I’m no longer the last person to get back to the lobby after a game. Lol. I’m usually first. Definitely worth the investment.
