72 out of 100 low confidence 9 reviews
This budget gaming laptop delivers strong performance for the price, with users praising its ability to run games like Dota 2 and Marvel Rivals smoothly. However, there are significant concerns about build quality, with reports of a cheap plastic body and broken clips, as well as a serious issue with a restocking fee from the seller. Overall, it offers good value if you get a working unit, but buyer beware of the reseller's practices.
