Great laptop keep it plugged in

This laptop has done almost everything I asked it to do. I tried Planetside 2, Portal 2 and Warframe. These are 3D style games with high graphics in case you didn't know. Now we've removed some settings (only for Planetside) and the laptop has really warmed up. Despite being a $300 laptop, it exceeded my expectations. Get a fan and you're done. Aside from those games, it handles 2D-style games flawlessly. Factorio, a very high CPU/GPU game, ran for me on this laptop at 60 fps for several days and copes with Minecraft without any problems. As for everything else, it's great. It's taking me a while to get used to the screen because it's 1080p, which means its output is about the same as my old 47-inch TV, so I make an effort to get a good look at the letters early in the morning to throw. A few things I notice are sharp on my desktop, but not really a big deal. The battery life is pretty bad. I took it on a ride so I could read some Wikipedia and the battery was at 82% in 30 minutes. So 2 hours of battery life. with very little load. I don't usually plan on leaving it unplugged, so that's not a problem for me. Also, you get much better visual performance when it's online due to the default battery optimizations.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Long delivery time
