Just an honest dudes review, great laptop!
Bought this for gaming and so far it's handled everything I've thrown at it. I'm not a serious hard-core gamer though. Since I've gotten it in prob put around 30hrs of gaming on it. Ive played the following games max setting with no issues at all. Elden Ring, Battle Royal Black Ops, Hogwarts, Red Dead, Arc Raiders. Still got a lot of gaming to do so we'll see, fingers crossed. Hasn't gotten too hot, well i don't know what too hot is but no alarms started going off, when it's running wide open it seems to stay at a consistent 93°. Also all of the 16gb of ram are being used, it flashes between 99%100%, dunno what that means tbh, good or bad, i dunno. I really like this laptop so far so i want to do 2 things to help it out a little. Get a nice fan pad with that foam seal, and im going to upgrade the ram to 2 stix of 16gb just to give it that extra ummff. Still, the games have all ran smooth i just want that little extra just in case. For the money, just buy it, it'll Game!

Very good laptop, using it to play games such as Dead As Disco and Nier Automata, will need to further test with bulkier games but so far works perfectly for my means.

Durable and fast for modern gaming. The screen itself is sensitive so be careful putting things on top of it or around it but besides that I'm satisfied by the results of what it could accomplish.

Great deal for a gaming laptop
Super fast shipping, I ordered on Wednesday night and received on Thursday afternoon. Modern design, sleek and soft keyboard. Great price and came with all parts and well packed. So far great purchase. I would definitely purchase again.

Best bang for buck on gaming laptops
Purchased this laptop on sale for the "Intel Gamer Days" Labor Day sale. Regularly $1400, on sale for $1100. I will say for the specs that this laptop has, the i7 chip, RTX 5070, 16gb memory, and 1TB SSD, it is the absolute best bang for buck in gaming at this moment. Every game I've thrown at it so far runs like butter with the 165hz screen and every detail is crystal clear with the QHD - 1440p resolution. Screen is on the small side but for me it's perfect for on the go, and very simple to hook up to my external monitor while I'm home if I'm needing bigger. Sometimes I prefer just to use the laptop's display due to how nice it looks. I was nervous about build quality with the price tag, and although it is a plastic base, nothing feels cheap. Everything is solid and feels premium. The only gripe I have, is that it doesn't have an extra SSD slot for expansion, while of course you can still upgrade the internal SSD, it will have to be a swap rather than an addition. Totally expected at this price point, there had to be some sacrifices for the components to be this good. Handles cooling nicely as well with the open-style bottom. Would definitely benefit from being on a laptop stand, but haven't had a single issue on my desk or on my lap (although it gets warm on your lap). Very pleased with my purchase. Best deal you can get if you want to get into PC gaming, this is a phenomenal gaming experience.

Lighting fast. I do not regret my purchase.

This is a short term purchase. The 5070 mobile is crippled due to its 8gb of vram, which is fine, honestly this isnt the main issue, its the hinge. yes this model will have hinge break/crack. i had it 6 days and could already fill it begin. Otherwise would have been a solid budget laptop. Just avoid, please

A couple month later that barely used the keyboard won't work. I call support and eventually I have to send it back for two weeks.
