I started researching laptops that were good for gaming (especially Skyrim, Fallout 4, and No Man’s Sky) with some expansion capabilities (e.g. RAM and hard drive or solid state drive upgrades), plus has a good display with decent battery life. It also had to be in the price range what my 4 year old MacBook would sell for too, due to budget constraints. This literally fit the bill. To say the least I was uncertain how good this laptop would be, but buying from BestBuy gave me assurance that I could return it. Long story short this thing is fast and insanely well designed in terms of ease of upgrading and cooling. It plays all of my games at least 1080P at Medium to High settings (most of them set to High). The IPS display is gorgeous and the battery can last up to 6 hours if you just surf the web and tweak some power management settings, overall I am very happy. My only complaint is the track pad, but MacBooks are the only ones with good trackpads to begin with from my experience with laptops over the past 17 years; so that wasn’t a deal breaker. I would also recommend getting a solid state drive, because the hybrid drive is ridiculously slow, even though it’s faster than a regular hard drive. Overall, I have no regrets with this purchase. I am done with MacBooks due to their poor gaming performance for their price.Read full review
