Highlights
Quality
Plugged in extra storage👍 it’s cool and works like a higher quality laptop
It works great and far exceeds the laptop i had been using previously to game on.
After two months, the battery swelled and required replacement.
Windows ran and i could even play a few games, but performance is throttled because the memory will be maxed out.
Price
At $950 this is a great performance laptop buy.
For the price this laptop is a great game pc.
At $950 i had to take the chance on this laptop despite some of the reviews being bad.
So this is my experience, i say it was money well spent.
Shipping
It arrived quickly and was protectively packaged.
Arrived on time brand new in the box.

The best part is, it's number one in every metric online when compared to other lower priced gaming laptops.
Only thing it does better than my maxed spec lenovo p50 thats 9 years old is run newer games.

The video card only has 4gb of vram which really isnt enough for some of the newer games available but it is reasonable enough for decent game play

Youll probably have to tone down the video settings for some games though to avoid lag
