This is my sons gaming laptop, it is replacing a

Anytime I’d play just about any game for 5-10 minutes the cpu would gets up to around 99 degrees Celsius and I’m no scientist but I don’t think that should be happening.

It has a serious overheating problem and the fixes arent very user friendly.

Ive now owned this laptop since Feb19 and rolling into May now. I will agree with others comments that this laptop can handle pretty much any game currently on the market, PUBG APEX The Division Etc. It will NOT handle this well out of the box though. You absolutely need to under volt the CPU otherwise it gets too hot. The GPU/CPU is located right under the W and 3 keys which playing any of the games noted above will be serious issues where it is uncomfortable to hold move forward down for extended periods due to being hot to the touch. Gaming will push to 95 degrees.

I love my predator

Computers are supposed to idle at at 40 C and less. This one idles at 70 C. Good specs but because of terrible heat management you can easily fry that hardware to uselessness without even trying.

Frequently loses frame rate. It goes down to 1 and gradually returns to normal in next 3~7seconds. This happens even when you are playing League of legends.

Worked flawlessly for 2 years then the Intel Integrated Graphics 630 GPU died. Have to run global settings on the Nvidia card which will significantly reduce the life span of my graphics card. Sad end to what was a great machine. 2 years is too short of a lifespan for a laptop thats $1,000.
