Overall the performance is great, solid 60 FPS in nearly every modern game and runs smooth Adobe Premiere, After Effects and PhotoShop.The screen isn't the brightest but it's very reasonable considering the super budget price.The battery life lasts about 3:30 hours of internet browsing/watching videos. While gaming battery drains quickly. Play plugged.The speakers are poor. Low sound quality and weak volume. There is a pre-installed program called Waves Maxxaudio that increases the sound volume & quality but it's still meh. Easily fixed tho with headphones/external speakers.For this price, it's probably the best gaming laptop you could buy. But in 2020 i'd wait for the newer gen that might come with stronger GPU or get the 2020 version which comes with a newer processor (10th gen over 9th gen)
