Expert Reviews80

A strong-value 16-inch gaming laptop whose excellent display, performance and build outweigh a workaday keyboard and poor battery life.

WIRED70

Not the best value, since cheaper laptops match its performance, but the bright display, good touchpad and decent battery make it one of the better gaming laptops, especially on sale.
