Pros-
- Keyboard and trackpad. Key strokes feel great and my hands feel comfortable after typing sessions and the red backlit keys look amazing! Some people have complained about the shape of the trackpad, but I haven't had any issues with it.
- Build Quality and design. Even though it's mostly plastic, it's pretty durable. The screen has a lot of flex, but the base is pretty solid. Really like the design of the laptop overall. The cooling with this laptop is pretty good. CPU and GPU never throttled even after a few hours of gaming. Weight isn't bad and was lighter than I expected.
- Storage. Even though it only comes with a 256GB SSD, it is very quick. Boot time is less than 10 seconds. There is a place for a 2.5" drive for more space. It isn't as easy as some gaming laptops, but easier than most normal laptops. There is no mounting for the second drive, but if you're installing an SSD like I did, it shouldn't cause any issues. Put a 512GB SSD in for game storage.
- CPU and GPU. The combination of the 4-core/4-thread 7th Gen i5 and the 1050 Ti is great for a budget conscious buyer as laptops with the 1050 Ti tend to run a bit more expensive. The CPU never bottle necked the GPU, but did come close a few times. Games like GTAV, Rainbow 6: Siege, Wildlands, Witcher 3, and PUBG all run at medium to high-ish with 40-60FPS, which is perfectly acceptable to me. If you want more frames, drop setting lower and it should be good.
Cons-
-The screen. With any budget device, some corners have to be cut to help with the price. The screen isn't very bright. This isn't a big deal to me as while indoors, it looks fine. Also, even though I found the display colorful enough, do not use this for photo editing or anything where color accuracy is important.
- Battery. With just web browsing, I was at 50% batter after an hour and a half. I don't want to even try gaming on the battery. But I'm normally always plugged in, so it's not really an issue for me.
- Ports. Not sure why companies are still putting USB 2.0 ports on laptops, but I can only guess it has to do with cost. No second display out, just an HDMI. USB-C connector is just USB 3.1. No display out, no Power Delivery. All of this to me isn't a big deal, but it might be for others.
In Conclusion-
Over all a great budget laptop that offers more than others in it's price range. I have actually been strictly gaming on this laptop instead of my desktop to really put this laptop through the ringer and I've been pleasantly surprised by it. Granted I have to have the graphics on lower settings than the desktop and the CPU isn't nearly as good for video rendering, but for the price, it does a spectacular job and I could not be more pleased with my purchase.

I tested this notebook using 3D Mark's DirectX 12 Timespy benchmark and have attached a picture of the results. For games I tested Street Fighter V with all graphical settings set to max and was getting 60fps consistently. I also tested Hawken with high graphical settings and it ran smoothly even at the full native resolution. This computer has a very nice cooling system. You could manually enable extreme cooling via the Nerve Sense utility at anytime.

Other than that somewhat major issue, this is a great laptop. If you purchase, please be sure to shut it down completely before moving it. I still forget upon occasion (as I did today) and I would guess that I will be buying a replacement in the foreseeable future.
