I bought this laptop for gaming and doing schoolwork. So far, it has done almost everything I expected it to. It runs games very well. I was scared because I wanted to play flight simulator 2020 on this laptop, and it’s a very demanding game for the system. It runs it without a problem on the second highest settings. I saw some people complaining about the bad colors on this laptop, but I haven’t had any issues with that. The colors are like on any other laptop. The only negative I can think of is the battery life. This laptop is supposed to have a nine hour battery life, but as soon as you start gaming, forget about it. The battery drops very fast. Overall, I rate this as a very good midrange to upper-midrange gaming laptop
