    Great budget gaming laptop

    5/5
    Very impressed, wasn’t expecting miracles, does everything I wanted.
    John

    Little (or not) gem, real gaming below £1000

    5/5
    Despite various negative reviews on this laptop in social media and Discord, I took my risks and gave it a try. It came right on agreed date and time, carefully packed and delivered. AO Customer service gave me a call the day before to align on delivery and proposed me extended AO warranty, although they were very gentle and not pushy at all. The laptop is suprizingly well-built and delivers amazing performance. I've made various tests with AAA games and it did perfectly! No overheat, no lags, great FPS. Battery isnot great in performance mode, but for casual gaming when you are away from sicket, it would work. Of course, if you are a professional gamer, that's not your choice. But for average person who wants to play demanding games, it's a nice budget gaming laptop, really a gem! Pros: - Price - Good performance - AO support, and extended warranty on demand - RTX 40 series for less than £1k, brilliant! - MSI control center performance scenarios Cons: - Short battery time - Budget-looking exterior for a gaming laptop (but again for this price?)

    Good for the price

    4/5
    It's good for a budget gaming laptop, performance is good but the build quality is poor, compared to my work laptop it feels a lot more flimsy

    Great deal

    5/5
    Good product for the price, can't get rtx4050 anywhere else at the moment

    Great product

    4/5
    Fantastic product, does everything I need it to do. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is because the battery life is shocking. Id say less than 2 hours. It just means it spends most of its time plugged in but I don't mind that.
