Laptops with similar specs were going for $400-$450 during November of last year.
Well we're deep in 🤡 world with rampant inflation, those prices are not coming back any time soon.

All ports are on the left side. The fan spins up when you're plugged in no matter what. You can fix that by cutting the power of the cpu when you don't need it.

Battery life is decent enough but I always keep it plugged and never charges above 60%.

Ummm screen is okay, and the keyboard has lots of backlight bleed. Can only be blue. I always have it set to the dimmest settings.

If you're right handed and using a mouse then wireless mouse is needed or you'll have the cable either in front of the laptop or by the heat disperser in the back of the laptop.

Does get hot even with normal use.

Any other questions just ask.

Gets the job done when I want to play something chill in bed

1080p HIGH 60+ fps. So very capable for moderate gaming. If you want higher performance it would cost around $850 minimum to get into the next tier of GPUs.

I'm confused. Lots of people here claiming it was $400-450 a year ago, yet this has been listed as Frontpage deal? Who's correct?

Other users are saying that similar spec laptops were around that price last year. Not the same laptop.

This seems like a good deal, but I gotta know if it's also good for console games that have PC versions - or just good for high-end FPS games?
