Great performance for a budget(ish) gaming laptop Processor is fantastic. 2nd SSD bay

Loud on turbo mode. Built in display is meh, at best. Software issues out the ying yang out of the box.

Sure it runs hot, but according to AMD that is the expected thermals for this specific processor. I recommend a cooling pad and a loud set of speakers as it sounds like a jet plane when the fans are at full tilt. Had a myriad of software issues, I recommend straight out of the box you re-format this and do a clean install of windows 11, and ensure you install all the drivers / updates, etc. Other then that, for the price, this thing is a great budget(ish) gaming laptop and has served me through hundreds upon hundreds of gaming hours. I'd recommend and external monitor, as the built in display is kinda crap. Imo, worth the money, and the second SSD slot is a god send.

-good power -good battery life -good wifi

- way to hot on idle it runs 70C and playing a game with low demand to high demand it will still run 95C

good budget laptop, but way too hot
