I am extremely pleased with this laptop. It's first boot was into a Linux USB Installer where I proceeded to install Arch Linux. Whindows who? Windows is so....2000.
After installing Arch Linux I ran some tests. Gaming you'll get 2-3 hours of game time provided you're not running it on performance profile. I was able to run The Division 2 (my latest fancy as I revisit it) on ultra settings at about 40fps, so Med/Low settings you'll pull 60 easily, just set an FPS cap at 30 or 60 and happy gaming. Also tested Minecraft and it ran very well, no hiccups of any kind.
It pretty much played everything I threw at it. Divinity Original Sin 2, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Cyberpunk 2077, Counter Strike Global Offensive (duh), Borderlands 3 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands; the list goes on. This laptop just nails it.
As for outside of gaming (the real reason I bought it), thanks to the GPU it handles image and video editing very well, as to be expected. Additionally, basic tasks like browsing the web and spread sheet use, note taking ect; I managed to configure the system to pull 11-12 hours of battery life when doing menial and mundane tasks. This is while running steam, beebeep and Teamspeak3 in the background.
I'd buy this laptop again in a heartbeat, without a doubt. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a pretty universal workhorse.
