Review: Well worth the money - I purchased this on Prime Day for a pretty good discounted price. (Prime Day is better than my birthday, just saying.) I'm in my 30's now and my entire life since early childhood I have always been strictly a console gamer. I have never been a big PC guy. I've owned two different laptops before this. I went with good solid value in the $500 range for those because I mainly used them for streaming, school, and occasionally indie and/or card games on steam. I'l reached a point in my life a few years ago, where between my job and family, I just didn't have the free time anymore to commit much time to my Xbox. Don't get me wrong I still love my Xbox and there are a lot of great games, but they tend to involve a decent time investment so I would go months at a time without ever turning it on. When I did it would be on a Saturday or Sunday when I had nothing else going on and could invest most of the day playing a game. I finally decided to invest in my first actual gaming laptop, nothing super high-end that broke the bank because I rarely play games that require that, and if I do I use my Xbox for them, but a good solid gaming laptop that can easily run all my steam games that I can hop on and off and require minimal time investment. This fits the bill perfectly and is exactly what I needed and wanted out of it. If what I described sounds anything like your personal situation you will love this laptop and be very pleased with the money investment. If you want something super duper high end for hardcore gaming, then either buy a next gen console or be willing to invest at least $2000-$3000 minimum on another laptop.
Review: Great for school - I use it for school and work, it works great but it shows it age as time goes on

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for school

I use it for school and work, it works great but it shows it age as time goes on

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great computer
*by T***M on January 7, 2025*

I personally love this computer it works great it has a very nice feel very strong and durable Screen quality is nice for this price range of model with good ram and storage this is a great bang for your buck My only complaint about it is the battery it will not hold. A charge and when it's left on battery. It only lasts a good 30 minutes, so you really need to leave. It plugged in all the time.
