Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great laptop, noisy fans, ANTI-ghosting issues, bad sound

Works great, loads very fast, can play games like Apex Legends on fairly high settings at 1080 resolution with no frame rate drop. Solid notebook. Disadvantages1. The biggest downside for me, if I had known this I would NOT have bought this laptop. Ghost Protection - You can't press more than 3 buttons at the same time. So in the game. If you hold W to move, A or D to shoot, and maybe hold CTRL to crouch, you won't be able to do any other command. I noticed that in Apex Legends I try to jump out of a sprint chute and the jump doesn't register. Or if I'm playing an MMO, I can hold WD for punishment. and you have to hold SHIFT and press 1 to use the ability and it won't register because that's a lot of keys at once. Honestly, that's a deal breaker for me. However, you won't notice it in most games. But the games I do frequently are very visible.2. The sound is rather dull, with good clarity, but almost no bass. I recommend headphones.3. fan noise. Very quiet in non-gaming mode. However, if you load a very undemanding game, the laptop will start screaming at you. Which also contributes to the poor sound as the fans are VERY loud. Loudest laptop I've ever owned.4. The FN key is the FN key in the lower left corner of the keyboard between the Ctrl and Windows keys. And I accidentally press it all the time when I try to press ctrl. From muscle memory on 99% of all other keyboard layouts, this is where the CTRL key would normally be. The rest of the laptop is great value for money. Personally, I would not recommend this laptop due to the No Multi Key and fan noise.
