I've had this laptop since January of 2020 and I've waited a while now to review it just to see if any problems popped up after months of using it for gaming and other uses (photoshop, videos, etc.).•PROS: quick startup, good fps while playing, nice lighting options available for keyboard, handles games smoothly, lightweight compared to other gaming laptops•CONS: VERY battery dependent to the point where the laptop starts lagging or glitching out at low battery, fps goes down the drain dramatically. AURA software always glitches out, especially whenever a new update is available. I was initially not able to get the lighting to function until I noticed I always had to update manually and set my lighting back up to 100%. Lighting resets on its own back to 0% when a new driver or update is available, which is annoying.Overall, this is a great laptop for gamers. It does come with 8GB of RAM, but you can add more. The battery dependency is the only thing that should have brought the price down in my opinion. Low power shouldn't make the laptop freeze every 3 seconds. I've never seen a laptop do that before. Other than that, I've been able to run my games great with no worries of overheating or crashing. Sound is just okay, nothing major to get excited about.
