So far very happy with the Laptop not used to having a gaming laptop but loving it so far have not tested the battery life yet but would recommend

I spent a long time doing a lot of research on different gaming laptops and which ones offered the best performance for their respective prices. This laptop had been in a lot of the reviews I read and watched, but never quite took the number one spot for an array of (arbitrary and bias things) in my opinion, like coming in second to a razor laptop because it looks less childish or that while they were impressed with its performance the other (always more expensive) laptop slightly edged out the Nitro 5 by a negligible margin, and therefore is better. In all the articles and reviews and videos I found testing out this laptop, one thing stood out to me; every single review (except one guy who recommended a laptop thats about $500 more lol) all said how impressed they were, considering what it costs. I finally bought the laptop, and man am I glad I did. If youre wondering which model to go for, Id personally recommend the i5 model because in a couple of the testing videos I watched, the i5 model would be pitted against its i7 counterpart and in almost all the testing would only perform ever so slightly above the i5 models in some tests, and in most was equivalent or ended up thermal throttling and losing by a significant amount. Basically, it doesnt make sense to spend the price difference for the better processor thats only sometimes better and only slightly so when it is. Another thing I found with this laptop is, is that the battery life is actually quite impressive for the hardware and size of the laptop. Some reveiws on professional PC sites claimed horrific battery life of only 3 1/2 hrs with 4hrs at absolute best. I dont know if they didnt properly update/install drivers or maybe they just had the laptop during a bug in the driver software, but when I set mine into power save mode and disable features Im not using like Bluetooth and the GPU (yes you can do that) I was seeing an average of about 6 hours while browsing the web, checking email, and even some youtube watching. I also found the speakers that were supposedly a big let down and basically useless according to another professional PC reveiwer to be totally fine. They definitely arent gonna blow you away or make a MacBook Pro feel insignificant, but considering the price of the laptop, and all the performance it delivers in so many other fields, they are as good and maybe even slightly better than I was expecting. As for every other aspect of this laptop, m.2 nvme Intel optane as the standard included storage with another m.2 nvme slot available AND an available 2.5 ssd bay with the hardware needed included, AND a second available ram slot so that you can upgrade without having to spend an arm and a leg on a big single ram stick, and can take advantage of dual channel is f***ing awesome for a laptop, let alone one at this price! At the end of the day, if youre like me and looking at basically every gaming laptop ever made to try and find the best one for the price, I have to say go for this one. Every other comparable laptop performance wise, is NOT comparable price wise, and visa versa.

Muy buena maquina mi hijo esta encantado editando sus videos y corriendo sus juegos de maravilla!!!

My grandson uses this for school and gaming, it works nicely for his needs.

Best Laptop I have ever owned. Only thing wrong is that there are a couple keys that dont always recognize my keystrokes but its not too bad. I need to upgrade the memory and ram, but thats my fault because I thought I ordered the bigger but I didnt.

I recieve all the products one and a half week before the estimated

Me llego a tiempo y en exelente condiciones! Lo recomiendo muchísimo.

Bought for grandson to do home school with Covid and he likes to play games on line. He is happy so far. Unit boots fast and looks nice. He doesnt play super intense games so response is okay so far.

Love this thing! I got it as a backup for streaming from my gaming system, and to play some older titles on-board. Some find the screen a little dim, I dont notice that. Its only got a GTX1650, so youre not looking at Anthem at Ultra settings with this, though itll run everything out at the time of this writing. This is for casual gaming, after all. If your looking to squeeze out high FPS at 4k youre not going anywhere near this for sure. That isnt a knock--at this price point this laptop is a screaming deal.

It says this is a Gaming Laptop its not, it can even run games from a few years ago. It struggles and crashes all the time.
