I am very pleased with this laptop. My old laptop was running a Ryzen 3 with 4gb of ram which was about 7 years old and did the job of gaming but very poorly. I purchased this one opting for the i7 16gb of ram 512gb ssd (with the Ethernet port big win) and thus far is has been a dream. Clear crisp graphics, fast load screens and zero lag. Now granted I am not trying to run COD on 120fps or anything crazy, but so far runs every game Ive tried on Steam and runs Runescape at high settings, funnily enough leading to faster kill times due to no lag whatsoever. I'm not sure about the battery b/c I keep it plugged in and connected to a 24 inch monitor and all Lenovo's tend to run a tad warm so a cooling pad will def extend the life of any laptop. But 10/10 recommend for gaming and price point, Happy Picking!

battery doesn't last long I'm not a gamer either looks like you need to stay close to a power source. other than that it does the job.

Other than that, everything is good. But battery only lastsxaboutc4 hours and I am afraid it will need replaced. I am not a gamer. So no reason for it.
