    Amazing for the price
    The specs you receive for the price are unmatched. I use it to run my business and game and have zero issues. Can run a little hot if you transport it a lot and forget to turn it off… (that’s on me) it boots so quickly and can run the most demanding games as well as numerous programs at once.

    Amazing value
    I bought this laptop for college and for gaming on the side and it is exactly what I was looking for it’s really powerful and while it’s expensive the price matches it and is an overall amazing value. Keyboard looks really cool and feels amazing to use. It is a very good build quality and not very heavy. Has a webcam and mic and everything you need for video calling and work, etc.. the fans do get pretty noisy sometimes but I don’t mind this at all. I would definitely recommend this product. One thing I would recommend though is a cooling pad as gaming laptops tend to run hot.

    Great for Gaming, Adequate for Work/Travel
    For the price, the specs are very nice. Most laptops with these specs would cost typically $1800. The laptop performs great when playing games and doing any type of work with its fast processor and quick gpu. The RAM is nice for multitasking and ensuring smooth gameplay. However, there are a few downsides about this laptop which I will list below:1. Poor, poor battery life. Expect maybe 2 hours of use when running on battery life even for casual browsing and whatnot. Performance on these types of laptops drop significantly when not plugged in.2. The keyboard feels a little on the cheap side. The keyboard on this laptop feels slightly worse than the keyboard on my $800 acer laptop. The customizable backlights are nice, but I would rather have better keys than cool aesthetics.3. If you want to install a camera blocker on this, like the ones that you can slide open and closed, than too bad. The rubber bumper hugs the top of the camera making it impossible to do so. I guess a piece of tape would work though.Overall, for the price, it is well worth the purchase. If you plan on using this a lot for traveling and doing work, where you will run it on battery power, than definitely do not get this laptop. If you plan to use this where you were going to have it plugged in a lot and are an avid game player, then this laptop is definitely for you. The large screen is great, The specs are powerful, and it is a great value laptop.

    Love it
    I had another laptop previously and it just wasn’t sparking joy. I wanted this one but it was a bit heavier so I opted for the other. I regretted it. It was so buggy. So I sprung for this one. Beautiful, fast, no problems out of the box. Love it.

    Amazing system – and that price (I paid 1599 for it is such a good deal…)
    They do have 2 hidden partitions with their software on it; but I was able to completely wipe the machine and reinstalled windows 11; then selectively added any software I needed. It’s a great system, though I am surprised I had to order (free) a special bracket to make use of the 2nd NVME slot inside the computer. I’m just waiting for that bracket to show now… Still, great price – great system… And yes, it does run hot (a cooling pad is a great idea….)

    It’s no Mac… WiFi issues and power supply problems galore
    I felt like I did plenty of research going into this computer purchase, compared benchmarks and hardware to ensure I was making a choice in product that would last 3-5 years. Let me tell you, this laptop isn’t it for my application.I needed a laptop to be mobile and edit content, primarily graphic design and 1-5 minute video editing. This includes using the entire Adobe suite with either one or multiple programs (not all at once). I found my experience with this laptop to be subpar at best. Right away I was leery of the AMD processor, I much prefer Intel. I cannot prove that this CPU was the root cause of all my issues, but I have a feeling it was a contributor. I was very disappointed with the lack of reliability, and it seemed every time I needed to use the laptop, there was some issue. And then of course if I gave it a little time it would finally come around, just enough for me to question if I could “make it work” in the long run. It got to the point where I started documenting the issues 2 days in and noted weird things I was finding since this laptop just didn’t feel right. Below were several of the things I noticed in just over a week of owning and using daily. Keep in mind I came from a M3 Pro MacBook Pro prior to this.Delivered: 9/20/24Issues with laptop:Google chrome opens first search with bold text every time, super annoying. Incognito mode does same thing so doesn’t seem to be an account setting/issueInitially opened using Yahoo as search engine with brand new Google Chrome download. Could have been an issue with previous extensions that I had, since I had logged into google first before searching anything9/23Laptop was at 10% and went into power saver, keyboard dimmed and brightness went down. Plugged it in for an hour, go to turn it on, black screen. Plugged into other outlet (neither outlet is switched) and it finally fired up 10 minutes later.9/25Got home and opened laptop, won’t connect to home WiFi, which it’s been connected to for almost a week and has remembered. Turned WiFi off and on again, and now says No Wi-Fi Networks found. Need external WiFi adapter to use internet now.9/26Plugged in hard drive (offline) to work on project, computer won’t read hard drive. Previously Norton wanted to run a scan every time I plugged in, so not sure if that’s why it’s not recognizing the drive but I wasn’t able to do work off the SSD until I had WiFi again9/26Was editing a project with computer, closed lid for 15 minutes, came back and screen is black. Won’t turn on or restart… 20 minutes later it turns on after deciding it wanted to be shut down, and tabs are now all closed and unsaved work lost… not cool.9/28Finally used Adobe Premiere Pro for the first time on this device, playback is CHOPPY, it will play forward when previewing, then chop back a few frames, then play forward, they chop back a few frames. Not a clean simple playback to review my timeline and see how my project looks…Trackpad pinch to zoom doesn’t zoom-in on timeline in Premiere… throws off typical workflow, VERY annoying9/29Perfectly on que… blue screen of death “Recovery” while turning on… time to get a MacBook.Another odd thing: EVERY time the computer restarts MSI Center and Xbox re-pin themselves to the taskbarI also added quite a few add-ons to “try” making the laptop feel more like a Mac. I added things like 3 finger drag, spacebar preview, phone link, changed photoshop and Illustrator settings to allow pinch to zoom… and even with all of this to help my workflow feel more like a Mac, the clunky computer workflow and unreliability kept me feeling disconnected from my work.

    great gaming laptop
    great quality gaming laptop, i love the personalization abilities, battery life is amazing if ur not running anything too crazy, the only thing, is i let it overheat a lil (not sure how hot it got exactly) and it froze, so i took the bottom panel off and let it sit like that, and it took about 48hrs to cool back down enough to where it was usable, but im pretty sure thats more my fault than the laptop itself, i would recommend, i would say u definitely get what u pay for with this one

    Great Performance Laptop
    Arrived quickly as expected. I am happy overall with the laptop. Installed X-Plane 12 and runs without issues. Only thing Ive observed this thing gets hot even with simple tasks but not a deal breaker in my book if you ask me.

    Llego en tiempo y forma, es muy buena compra. Especialmente si la ocupas para, arquitectura, ingeniería o gaming. Un punto en contra es su peso, y que es 100% de plástico a diferencia de la ROG Strix 16″ y por el precio la Katana ya debería de tener aluminio.Procesador: Ryzen 7Gráfica: 4060 8GB VRAM

    Muy buenas especificaciones. No he tenido ningún inconveniente en este primer mes de uso. Funciona súper rápido con programas como Revit Autocad y Twinmotion. El único detalle es que en algunas ocasiones siento que se sobrecalienta mas de lo que debería y la batería prácticamente no rinde mucho. Si está en oferta súper recomendable

    Excelente compra, la compre cuando estaba en promoción el precio, me salió 26,300 pesos mexicanos de los cuales decía que 5,000 eran de la tarifa de importación, la pila dura como 3 horas a máxima potencia, el unico detalle malo que le he visto es que cuando conecto/desconecto el cargador como se pone negra la pantalla por un segundo.

    Me asuste al ver que no me decía tiempo de llegada al principio pero esperes 10 días y ya me dieron tiempo estimado si tarda un poco pero vale la pena por su precio y si llega lo que pides
