This product was used by me as a replacement desktop cause it was way less expensive and movable.For the games I play which really aren't huge name titles, it works amazingly well. When the fans kick in, it really doesn't change the volume that much. Two things I'm kind of disappointed about was the storage and battery life. Because I use this as a replacement and not a daily driver for traveling, I keep the laptop plugged in and it works great. However, as soon as you remove the laptop from the power brick, you immediately notice how fast the battery drains. The other thing was storage. This version only has 256 gigabytes of SSD which as it turns out, isn't a whole lot. You can either get a different model for more with more overall storage, or you can buy this one and pay just for a cheap hard drive with storage space which is what I did. Speaking of, getting the back cover off is a pain, but the computer is great for upgrading
