I'm currently using this laptop to play games and it's been 3 weeks. I absolutely love it. This is my first "gaming" laptop/pc and I think I've messed around with the settings so my games can run at full HD quality. I'm sure if you are into the software and hardware aspects of gaming computers you can easily push this laptop to its full potential.These are the games I play and their respective FPS. Graphic settings are pretty high, if not, at full quality settings. *Warning* The computer does let you change your CPU and GPU settings and control them. Increasing them lets you push these games at higher FPS and quality. However, I run everything at "Balanced" or "Power Saver".Games: Rainbow Six Siege= 60 FPS, Valorant=100+ FPS, Terraria= 100+ FPS, CS:GO= 100+ FPS, Rogue Company= 100+ FPS.Again, there many ways yall computer nerds can change graphics setting so your games can run faster. I haven't changed anything but these are the results.The fans can get loud if you do end up pushing its settings, but you will probably have your gaming headphones on and the sound is pretty much nonexistent. I never even noticed the fan sound until I took off my headphones for the first time.I chose this laptop for gaming and college. College will start soon, but seeing how well it runs games and intensive browsing, I think it will definitely run my engineering and math programs without an issue.Great price and a great experience so far!
