Im a casual gamer, mostly just warzone when i have the time. runs at 90 fps which is better than my eyes can see. Runs pretty flawlessly. Ive experienced zero issues other than the "rapey" microsoft edge and McAfee security that i wanted nothing to do with. I eventually rid myself of those programs. When playing warzone the fan absolutley kicks in, but doesnt sound like a jet engine. But its noticeable. While playing warzone the battery is not so good, one round will take 50% (not plugged in), but what do you expect from a 999$ laptop? Go gamble an extra GRAND, and maybe youll NOT have to plug it in. Im using mostly for work, study and school while traveling and its just the right balance for me. I gave 5 stars because its exactly how id expect a cheaper laptop to do. hasnt crashed, the GPU stays at 50c while gaming, which is normal. No bottlenecks. The RAM is nice and the 1tb is more than ill ever need. Its light weight. The built-in speakers are plenty loud enough for me, i find myself turning them down. The built in microphone works great according to my one friend on Discord. Havent uncovered the webcam, so cant speak to its performance. Dont want Dark Brandon trying to sniff my video feed. The only thing i wish it had was a "backlit" keyboard, but whatever, im trash at typing anyway and i doubt itd help. Another thing about the keyboard, is, that its so gentle and lite that while gaming i dont have the "feedback" of my press like the mechanical keyboard i have on my beast of a gaming PC at home. But again, its an 999$ laptop. Buy the damn ting.

Battery life might not be great during gaming, but is a very good laptop overall. I usually have it plugged in when I'm at home, so it's not a problem. And if I take it somewhere for work, I'm not usually gaming, so battery lasts longer.

I really like this laptop. I dropped a star because of the customer service. It arrived with no damage to the outer or inner box, but was missing the mouse pad. Can't contact the seller since both boxes were sealed and it was fulfilled by Amazon, and Amazon won't do anything unless it is returned. Since both boxes were sealed, that means the mouse pad was never included I have it set in hybrid (not performance). The battery lasts hours for personal and business work. But if you do any serious gaming you'll need it plugged in for power. Make sure you register the laptop with proof of purchase date so you get a full year Lenovo warranty. Otherwise it defaults to ending a couple of months after the manufacturing date. If you have an older NAS, you will need to reactivate SMB1 in Windows 11 to be able to access the share folder(s). That's a Window's issue not computer issue. This is a great all around computer. Edit: This computer only lasted 5 months. Now it will not turn on. I added premium support because I went into the forums and found out other people were having major problems. I thought they just got a lemon. It started happening to me after 3 months. The laptop would shut down unexpectedly. Then I'd move the display and it would come back. Then it started happening more often. I contacted Premium support, and they kept insisting it was an operating system error. Totally ignoring the fact that physical movement of the display alters the situation. Now I can't even turn on that computer. Lenovo Premium Support is advertised as having next day onsite repair. I was told the issue was escalated and once they decide what parts are necessary, they will send them in about three business days. Once they are received, I need to call back so they can schedule onsite service. This is ridiculous.

I bought this a few weeks ago (32GB RAM) and am very happy with it so far. My only complaint is the battery, however for me that's not really a problem because there is always an outlet nearby. lol I'm happy with the performance so far. I've played 7 Days to Die, Dark Souls 3, GTA5, Warframe, and Elden Ring. All of them look and play fantastic. As a precaution I also bought a cooling pad just in case the card runs hot when gaming. If my opinion changes I'll add an update.

This laptop runs great. I play Rust and everyone knows it’s hard on a system. I have no issues when I can play. The issue with this laptop is the WiFi just ghosted me. It’s as if it just disappears as if I don’t have a WiFi adapter installed. I have to reboot for multiple times waiting for it to come back. This can take an hour or more at times. Then finally it’s back and I try to update the driver and it works great for a week then out of the blue gone again. I have no backup way to get it updated again so back to rebooting over and over. It makes the laptop useless and I am currently looking for a new laptop. Found plenty online with other users having the same issue.

Call me unlucky because this was most likely something that doesn’t usually happen, but it put me in such a sour mood. I ordered it on the 14th with one day shipping and all. Said it’d come on the 16th, so I was hyped. 16th rolls around, and all I see is a refund on my shipping because “it’ll be unexpectedly late”. I got zero updates on it till a few days before the 26th (the day I got it, and two days before they would have issued a refund). I was pretty annoyed at all that nonsense, but hey… at least I got it now lol. Works how you’d expect a gaming laptop to work. Runs games pretty well, pretty lightweight compared to my 2012 gaming laptop (rest it’s soul lol), and the battery being not the best isn’t surprising. Overall aside from shipping, it’s a pretty good product!

Wouldn't wake up from sleep, had to turn off then on. Left on overnight unplugged and wont turn on at all Spent an hour trying to get technical support, eventually got recording that entire support staff is outwith covid I just want things to work, why is that impossible these days

The battery life has been rather poor but I suppose that’s to be suspected with such high specs
