I wrote a review a while ago. Wanted to update it with my current situation.
This is overall a good laptop for the price. Out of the box, 8 GB of ram isn't enough though.
I went out and bought a dual channel 32gb ram, made things a lot smoother.
Most games can run on medium to high settings with playable FPS.
Mount and Blade 2 runs about 110 FPS on high settings, but during seiges the FPS can drop to about 50 FPS. (Before the dual channel ram seiges were at lows of 14 FPS, but I think that was an early release bug that was fixed in the game)
GTA V runs almost always 60+ FPS om highest settings. No lag issues. (Before dual channel ram it was like 50 FPS on highest settings)
War Thunder lits between 110-140 FPS oh high settings. (90 FPS before dual channel ram)
My point is, get dual channel ram. It helps a lot.
I haven't tested very many tripple A games yet. Gotta buy them first before i try them.
512 GB of memory is a bit low for me. I like to have multiple games downloaded so i can pick from a good selection. But, the solid state drive is fast and does it's job.
Laptop does get hot when gaming for long periods of time. I'd recommend a laptop cooling pad if your gaming for more than an hour. Fan also gets very loud when on Turbo mode, but if you have a headset you don't notice.
RGB is nice. Screen is crisp. Keyboard feels nice. Laptop camera does its job.
I do recommend this laptop, just get dual channel ram and maybe a laptop cooling pad.
