Runs most games I throw at it pretty well. I played Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil 2 remake, and Resident Evil Village pretty well. Keep in mind though that you'll need to bump down the graphics settings in very graphically intense games like Cyberpunk and RE Village; if you're looking for a machine that can run those games at the very highest settings you'll definitely need to shell out a few hundred more dollars.
Everyday use is quick also. I always have a million Chrome tabs open and this PC takes it like a champ. No issues there.
The screen is pretty nice as well. Gets more than bright enough for every indoor situation I've thrown at it and it's sharp enough. However, I have yet to take it outside (and I don't plan on it), so I don't know if it gets bright enough to overcome direct sunlight.
The IO array should be alright for most people. It's got two USB type A's (one on each side), an HDMI port, an ethernet port, one USB type C (which apparently you can use to charge the laptop, though I haven't tested it), a headphone jack, and an SD card reader, which is much appreciated.
The speakers are alright to my untrained ears. They're not insanely bassy but they're also not super tinny. They're plenty loud and easy to hear in most situations, but occasionally I do find myself using a Chrome extension to force the volume louder on softer YouTube videos, so keep that in mind.
The only thing I can really complain about is battery life. It's not great. Using power saving mode, I was only able to get a few hours of light work done on Chrome. If you need something portable with a battery that will last you an entire day, this ain't it. At all.
Overall, I don't regret my purchase. It's powerful enough to run most games at at least medium settings, it has a nice screen, a really nice keyboard, a good trackpad, and is enjoyable to use on the day to day. Just keep in mind that the battery life isn't good. If what you're looking for a powerful budget gaming laptop that you plan on keeping connected to a wall and just want the convenience of being able to move it around the house, then this might be the laptop for you.
