Probably the best value mid range gaming laptop money can buy in 2023! Excellent gaming performance on most titles, some really demanding stuff like Cyberpunk you might want to run at 1080p to save some fps or use a lower graphics preset, especially if using the RTX capabilities of the 3060. Laptop is nice and portable however power brick is pretty big and heavy(I have the 300W one) so definitely factor that into your decision. Overall though carrying this thing around isn't that difficult at all and for me I wouldn't say it's a disadvantage to the product. Laptop build is predominantly metal on the exterior, rigid design with little to no flex on regular use and a good screen hinge. Keyboard is actually great and the backlighting is a nice aesthetic addition. Connectivity is also expansive and most of the slots are at the rear of the laptop to keep them out of your way. In terms of noise, I thought the levels were quite low compared to what I am used to (Desktop PC gaming) but I use headphones anyway so I can't hear anything from the outside world regardless! Haven't taken the back off of mine yet but I know there's a second M.2 slot left unused for when you run out of space on the included 512GB SSD - love that the manufacturers added this. The ONLY disadvantage I think this laptop has is that it suffers from a fairly meager battery life. Whilst doing regular desktop tasks such as chrome, Google docs etc expect around 3 hours of lifetime, maybe more if you turn off the back-light and adjust the GPU so it only uses the integrated graphics whilst unplugged. For this reason I do not recommend gaming when the laptop is unplugged as the battery life will probably drop to between 1 and 2 hours, so definitely plug it in when for that. From the research I did before buying this laptop it appears that the 85Whr battery installed here is actually quite good for something in this price range, so this issue may be unavoidable unless you're prepared to spend thousands on a top spec machine or sacrifice gaming performance for a lower power draw. (Why I didn't give 4 stars instead of 5) Overall, this is a great option for anyone looking for a strongly built and powerful laptop that will handle amateur gaming with ease whilst remaining relatively portable.

Firstly, very sleek with a nice finish feels really sturdy and durable metal. The colours really pop against the oily black screen and with 165Hz at 2160 who needs 4k when you get the quality and performance at this resolution. Value for money is incredible, it really packs a punch. I would get a USB splitter though as this has only one USB 3.0 connection.

great laptop with very fast ssd, nothing to complain
