laptop - Good for gaming and homework. my daughter loves this computer.
Best mid-high tier laptop - Best laptop for the price. the display could be brighter.
All together good - So i bought this laptop little over a year ago and its still holding up.Havent really pushed the graphics card too much,but recently i have and figured out that it only has 8gb of dedicated memory in gpu.most Rtx 4070 cards have more than 8gb so i was bummed when i figured this out.over all though its a good laptop.
Bang for the buck - Half off for a 4070 machine. Open box fair but its like new, it doesnt have its original box tho. Only downside is the screen is still 1080p but for the price I cant complain.
