Overall it's pretty solid. I've had this laptop for about 2 months now and don't use it often but when I do it's almost always for gaming. I like the graphics for GTA5, Rocket League, and Fortnite as well as the videos played from my streaming services and external dvd player. What I don't like is the extremely short play time I get from the battery and the fact that this small white line suddenly appeared in the middle of the screen.I thought that perhaps I had accidentally scratched the screen at some point and didn't notice  but after turning it off and looking at in the light I know that it's coming from INSIDE the screen not a blemish on the exterior. This makes for a bit of a distraction while watching videos. Wanted to give it a higher rating but I just expected more.*UpdateI changed my rating to 3 stars because, after 9 months of moderate use, I am now getting a "no bootable device" error when I turn it on. Tried updating the BIOS settings but it didn't work. Will have to find a repair shop near me.
