Amazing budget gaming laptop

Excellent packaging, nice box with foam inserts and lots of protection. The cloth screen protector is good, you can put it on before closing the lid, there is also a cloth laptop sleeve. The notebook is well made and feels very solid. Good rubber feet stick to the table. The lid is easy to open, a finger can be easily operated. The keys are very responsive and remind me of the MacBook Pro keys when typing, which is a plus for me; as they are the most convenient and smoothest for me to print. The trackpad isn't a problem and responds to all button presses and gestures. The setup is simple and convenient, there are not many viruses. This can easily be removed. The performance so far is flawless. The screen is good and bright, good rich colors when watching TV or gaming. The fan isn't very loud, although it hasn't worked at maximum in games yet. I haven't played any super-intensive games to test the graphical capabilities, but if you watch YouTube's "Jarrods Tech" test videos, this laptop handles it all with ease. I play satisfactorily, although on Ultra, and it's amazing. I can easily run multiple YouTube videos, encoding software, multiple instances of multiple other games I play, and more. Battery life is terrible, but this is a gaming laptop so that's to be expected. If you want to improve your battery life, buy one online and install it, it's very simple. Otherwise, depending on the load, you get 2-3 hours without a connection. All in all, this is a great budget gaming laptop. I've researched every laptop in the $500-$2000 range and to be honest you get negligible performance gains the more money you spend. The only drawback for ambitious gamers is the hard drive. You may need to buy an external drive with more storage, always use an SSD.
