The CPU is decent. The screen looks good, though the viewing angle is mediocre. The GPU is acceptable, but is a bit stuttery in demanding VR games like Boneworks. I'll probably send this back and spend a little more money on a more powerful laptop.It also looks lame with the red backlit keyboard keyboard and accents on the WASD keys. I might think that's cool if I were 16 years old.Biggest positives are the keyboard feels pretty good, pretty decent screen, stays cool and solid battery life if not gaming. But you always get what you pay for, and in the end, there's no hiding that it's an entry level machine. If you are on a strict budget and can get this on the $599 flash sale or less, it's worth the money.If you can afford more, then look for laptops closer to $1000 rather than trying to save a little money with this. Look for an i7 with a GTX 1660 Ti or RTX 2060 and at least 16 GB RAM.
