5.0 out of 5 stars Great Computer, but Windows 11 sucks.

C. · August 10, 2024

I love the computer, my first new one in six years. However, Windows 11 is much too controlling. At first,it restricts you to only using MS software for anything. Had to call MS to get that restriction lifted. That was easy, but not obvious. Then they had other restrictions on old drivers which impacted my specific use of the computer. All this under the heading of protecting the user - from themselves, I assume. Had to get software specialist involved for that. Windows 11 had a long set up. They no longer use a 'password,' but a 'pin' which is, of course, is a password- stupid. Windows 10 was much friendlier, and the 'improvements' MS made to Windows 11 were not noteworthy- More confusing to Windows 10 users than helpful.As for the computer itself, I love it. It is fast and once Windows 11 was sidestepped, it does everything I need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still Fantastic for Casual Gaming 4 Years Later

S. · June 21, 2024

I bought this laptop on sale for about $600 in 2020, for the purpose of being able to run more powerful games without having to invest in a more expensive device specifically advertised as a "gaming laptop", or a bulkier desktop setup. I did the research on the specs I needed, and this one looked perfect for me personally. Today, it still runs games like Ark, Skyrim, 7 Days to Die, The Sims 4, and Baldur's Gate 3 very well. There is minimally increased lag when first starting up a large game like BG3, compared to 4 years ago, but it pretty quickly gets up to speed.After a full shutdown, it still powers back up and is ready to use in nearly the blink of an eye. I currently have 8 games installed (not including Ark - the size of that is monstrous), as well as programs like Unity, RPG Maker MV, Blender, Sony ACID Music Studio, and OBS Studio (all of which also run perfectly well), and innumerable documents, pictures, and videos, and still have 123 GB free on this device.I cannot speak to the battery life, as I only ever use it plugged in and have no reason to rely on battery. I will say, it does tend to overheat when running more demanding games IF it's in direct contact with a solid surface. I finally thought to buy a $20-ish metal, slightly-elevated laptop stand with holes for aeration 1-2 years ago, and suddenly it no longer gets hot to the touch at all, now that the hot air isn't getting trapped and directly heating up the surface beneath it. Therefore, I HIGHLY recommend doing the same to extend the laptop's life even further (and avoid fire hazards depending on your surface). You don't need any external fans or fancy cooling materials - literally just elevate the laptop and give it room to breathe, just like any other :)Overall, this laptop is perfect for the slightly-more-than-casual gamer and creative person, and if I knew it would still be working this well 4 years later, I absolutely still would have paid $800+ for it if it hadn't been on sale at the time. Here's to (hopefully) a good number more years of quality gaming and creation on this laptop!

5.0 out of 5 stars New Laptop

A.C. · March 12, 2024

So like many people who received the laptop, I didn't get the mouse. However, that honestly didn't matter. I have my external mouse from my old laptop and plugged in the USB receiver and it worked.I was impressed by the laptop. I never had a laptop with AMD so when I loaded up WoW and put it on the highest graphics setting, it did not crash. It did not lag. It runs smoothly. I do raids and I do not freeze. I can see every detail in the grass and the rain. All the details in the cobblestones.This laptop is absolutely everything I hoped for. Sure it's not a gaming laptop but it does its job. The only games I play are WoW and FFXIV and if it can handle both at its best. Then I will be very happy.The only problem is that the Webcam shutter thing doesn't switch open and I'm afraid of breaking it. Which is fine I can get an external Webcam.

4.0 out of 5 stars Value Laptop if you don't really use the webcam

j. · November 11, 2020

This laptop feels like quality with a solid aluminum case and a unique design. For the money, it's just about the best I could find. I chose "sold by Bolo" to ensure no hiccups in case of a return or exchange. I didn't want to roll the dice on some of the other sellers. This has almost everything we needed - it's backlit keyboard looks great. It has a discreet GPU with 4 GB. After I crack the case open and upgrade the RAM, it will be near perfect. The only drawback to this model is the webcam. It is not good. That's not a surprise - it's stated clearly in the specs. But, for real, it's bad. If you do alot of web meetings, I recommend the Aspire 7, which was my second choice, for about $200 more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good buy!

The computer arrives in excellent condition. It works great with editing programs. And mid-range games. I didn't get the mouse, but it's not a problem.

1.0 out of 5 stars The included Mouse was not included

A.C. · March 19, 2024

I did not receive the Mouse that was supposed to included with this Laptop. Therefore the 1 star.Other than that the laptop works as advertised.

Buen equipo, no llegó el mouse

V. · April 18, 2024

The media could not be loaded. Llego rápido, 2 días antes de la fecha de entrega, un equipo atractivo, hasta ahorita (3 días de uso) funcionando muy bien.Lo unico es que en la descripción de la compra incluía un mouse, el cual no llegó.

Justo lo que esperaba

J.A.H.G. · September 7, 2020

Yo la compré para uso escolar y para gaming, en ambas es una excelente opción, corre juegos como The Witcher 3 y GTA V con gráficos en ultra y vale la pena el precio totalmente

Excelente relación precio

E.Z. · August 14, 2020

Best Decision

I'm a digital artist / small time gamer. This laptop has beyond exceeded my expectations.I'm used to running games, such as 7DTD, Sims, Don't Starve, etc, on the lowest possible settings. This laptop? Auto sets them to high, or fantastic quality, and runs them without a single issue. 7DTD, Ark, L4D2, and My Time At Portia, all run on high or better quality.Battery life? Excellent. Storage space? Great, SSD is awesome, but plan to add a harddrive for extra space. Dedicated drivers? AWESOME. Runs everything so smoothly. Price? Completely justified. I was hesitant to spend this much money on a new laptop, when I could find a lesser model for 200$ less, but this was definitely a much better decision.
