This laptop performs bad without any optimizations. For some reason, I noticed many scratches on it after a week. I haven't even put it near anything that could scratch it. As I said in the title, I wouldn't say this laptop's worth the price because of it. Out of the box, it's very slow due to the many updates it requires. As for gaming, I've only tested out Roblox but with Bloxstrap installed. I put everything to the lowest settings possible and I guess it helped. The battery lasts about 3-4 hours non stop.However, I tried installing windows 10 on it through an external USB stick and then installed Atlas OS (no relation, I literally just couldn't stand how slow my laptop was with the bloat a normal Windows OS would have). I noticed many improvements due to the removal of bloat from windows 10. You could install Atlas OS without downgrading but I prefer windows 10 more. After that, I opened the command prompt with admin and typed these commands in separately:powercfg -setacvalueindex scheme_current sub_processor 5d76a2ca-e8c0-402f-a133-2158492d58ad 0powercfg -setactive scheme_currentThese commands configure battery settings, solving the 100% CPU problem these laptops have. It occasionally goes to 100% for a second but it mostly stays in the lows.I haven't tested any other games out but I've only installed Dorion, a lightweight Discord client that uses less resources than the original client. (I also don't have any relation with them, I only found it off Github)In Short:I wouldn't really give this to someone if they want to use it for gaming or any other things that uses many resources. A used thinkpad off Ebay that's half the price would be better than this. I personally use this for school work, coding, or just running my python projects. I sometimes use it for Roblox too.For Chuwi:The easily accessible SSD expansion is pretty cool but being able to upgrade more things such as the ram and CPU would be far more useful. It would also be nice if you guys helped fix the problem where the laptop would be slow and use 100% of the CPU after opening the laptop for the first time. It basically makes people go on their own to help make the laptop even usable. The battery doesn't last long as you advertise. It definitely doesn't last 9 hours non stop.
