[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After searching far and wide for a laptop that could balance school and gaming, I chose this, and wow, I am completely amazed. Friends of mine who have built their own desktops can't compete with my FPS and load speeds. As long as you know how to set it for whatever you're playing, you will be getting astonishing speeds and visual detail with a great display. On the other hand, this thing also performs beautifully for work. I find that having a large screen, despite reducing portability, is well worth it to not strain my eyes so much. I appreciate the low profile as well, so many laptops are so offensively “gamer,” and this just looks like a nice, normal laptop. There's no dorky angles or lines or colors. Finally, many reviews would have you believe that the battery life is abysmal, claiming anywhere between 2 to 4 hours. I have no idea where they are getting this. As I said, I use this laptop for school, primarily running microsoft edge and creative applications like musescore, and I get around 6.5 hours on average. MORE than enough for general purposes. For anyone curious, I run hybrid-auto mode and turned the maximum processor state on battery to 99%, and when I unplug my laptop I swap to 60hz, turn the keyboard backlight off, turn quiet mode on, and turn on battery saver. This laptop lets me switch between work and gaming on a dime and do everything I want without any limits.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the most powerful models you can buy. The cooling on this generation is second to none. Don't be fooled by some of the downgrades this year. It's just as quality of a model as the Gen 6. Solid build and great for and finish.
