Review: Speakers are better than advertised, handles wow, D3, Hots, and even overwatch no problems at all! I'm happy. - I got this to play wow, diablo 3, and overwatch on. And it does great even on max settings it is good! Maybe not the best on the high end graphics, but I'm really happy with it. I read a review saying the sound was bad, but I think it's just fine, also there was a review or two showing the hinges busted, it is a little scary feeling, but three weeks in and it seems fine. I really do worry about the hinges, but everything else is great and if your not constantly closing and opening this like I am then the hinges won't be an issue. To be clear about the hinge there is only one very small less than one inch connection on each side that holds the screen on to the base. it does feel like you could break that small bit easily if you aren't careful. If it helps I"ll say it again it handles the blizzard titles pretty well even on the higher graphics.. hots has some pop in on the highest graphics and it is very noticeable, but just a step or two down fro max and it's great. and the sound is good, not the richest sounds, but it is great for a gaming laptop at this price point. ... the hinge is fine for me so far constantly closing/opening it everytime I use the laptop, which is twice a day at least everyday for nearly 4 weeks now. My only concern is the hinge. If your going to leave this open then ... yeah this is great!
Review: Over all it is a great laptop and performance is great - Over all it is a great laptop and performance is great. Fortnight upped on every aspect in the graphics settings and it doesn't have a hiccup. minor complaint is the battery life and the weight [it is pretty heavy] The general look is appealing and doesnt like like the average gaming laptop [no flairs and colors everywhere] this sublimity gives it more beauty Love it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfectfor APEX LEGENDS!
*by J***R on May 19, 2019*

I bought this specifically to play apex legends. I was sure it was capable of running the game, however I didn’t know how well. Great news! It runs it amazing at high settings across the board. I’ve played COD BO4 an Overwatch too, both run very well for a cheap gaming laptop. The 250gb ssd is too small for gaming though an I will be immediately upgrading to more storage. COD itself took 110gb!!! I can’t say enough good things about this laptop. For the price it’s an incredible product an definitely worth a purchase for anyone looking to play your favorite games on PC!
