NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2050 is very underrated
I got this laptop for light video editing but it turns out that the 4VRAM is more than capable of medium/advance editing with no problem, I'm using Wondershare Filmora 12 with no issues whatsoever, one of the fist thing to upgrade on this laptop is the 8GB of RAM for 16 or 32 cause the 8GB will be maxed out on no time, I went with 2 sticks of 16GB KINGSTON FURY 16GB for a total of 32GB of RAM, one thing that I wasn't aware was that there is single and dual channel sticks of memory and the oem 8GB stick that the laptop comes with is a SAMSUNG 8GB 1Rx16 so I believe that is a dual channel, I honestly don't play games on the laptop but I'm sure that this will do great with whatever is thrown at this wonderful laptop, I did ran the CINEBENCH and I'm really happy with the results and I only wish that I knew about the dual channel memory sticks and for that is too late, I wanted to perform more test for those that wanted to see how this laptop does on games but this review only lets me upload 6 photos so there is no point for me to make game test like I did with CINEBENCH, one thing for sure and be advised that this laptop runs hot so keep an eye on it by going to the omen hub and turn on the fan at full speed every once in a while, you can go to GeForce Experience and NVIDIA control panel when you download the apps from the OMEN gaming hub that comes pre installed, it will not give you all the availability of options that you can change like if you had the RTX3050 or higher but you can change a lot of settings, I can assure you that the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS is plenty powerful and the RTX2050 is almost as good as the RTX3050 and with the DDR5 memory is a great combination, I got about 5-6 hours of battery when editing and the fan at full blast for 5 min at a time every once in a while when I thought that it was necessary, when the laptop is not using the fan at full blast is so quiet but when it is at full blast it sounds like a jet fighter is ready to take off but don't get me wrong cause is not that loud it just sounds cool at least for me, I wish that I could give a bit more feedback on the performance when playing games but I will just be lying and hyping up this laptop and I don't want to give any misinformation.

Best Black Friday Deal
Incredible gaming laptop for its price. It does exactly what's expected of a gaming laptop. For only 8 gigs of RAM it handles games nicely and I absolutely love the backlit keyboard. The noise on the fans are relatively quiet on average game settings. However the fans do get louder with more GPU intensive games at higher settings with a stable 80fps. Finally, there's no issues with CPU based games, with VSync enabled it keeps games fixed at 144fps making proper use of the 144Hz refresh rate. I play on a hard flat surface for the best cooling, but the exhausts appears to be facing flat down, so for optimal cooling I may require a lifted angle for better airflow.

Great Laptop on Sale
I purchased this laptop for $499 when it was on sale, and I have to say that it is extremely fast and a small powerhouse. I did a lot of research on whether the 3050 is worth it over the 2050, and eventually decided that it was not and that I would go for this one. Buying an additional stick of ram for this is a must in my personal opinion, but the ram is extremely easy to install. That being said I have had this laptop for a couple of weeks now, and it is definitely expected to be a laptop that is meant to be plugged in for a majority of its life, as the battery really only lasts for about 3 hours while on the internet or browsing the web. Besides the battery though, I have no complaints, and with as strong of a system as it has built into its little body I didn't expect the batteries to last that long either way. The keyboard feels extremely nice, the laptop itself is very sleek looking (I've got lots of compliments on it!), and it is a great laptop to bring to school or to a business meeting because it is extremely quiet and runs everything extremely well. I have had exactly no issues with load time on anything that I've thrown at it so far.
