Review is 7,6 out of 10.

Excellent specifications, excellent ease of use, solid price

A fast computer with excellent specifications that is well suited for daily (private) work. The programs work quickly and smoothly, picture and sound score more than satisfactory (especially the stereo sound is a pleasure to listen to). Because this laptop was primarily developed as a game computer, the different design stands out (four keys on the otherwise excellent tactile keyboard have a different white color, which is otherwise not disturbing), with the included gaming stickers looking a bit childish. The 15.6" screen is a relief in terms of size, the backlight of the keyboard can be set to various positions (disco, "breathing" or permanent) and is also adjustable in terms of brightness. Another plus is the numeric keypad. no touchscreen, not a deal breaker, but it would have been a nice bonus.The hefty price can be mentioned as a downside, but within this class (processor, working memory, SSD storage space) the total amount still ends up in the lower regions, compared with the competitors, so hopefully a computer that I can use for many years to come.

Review is 7,2 out of 10.

After troubleshooting, you can enjoy gaming without hassle.

Hardware and price are good, suitable for gamers.
Decent and nice keyboard incl. numpad.
Price quality is very good, popular, also on Tweakers.
The preinstalled drivers of the audio ensure that your 3.5mm jack output has 1% volume, you can also only solve this by rolling back the Realtek driver and removing the DTS driver.

For gaming I am very good for this price quality. Fortunately, I was able to solve the audio issues for the 3.5mm jack headset output myself with some internet searches (how loud you sound through your microphone). The camera is actually not usable, this cannot be solved and is due to the manufacturer. Fortunately, Coolblue compensated with an External Webcam with my purchase, so that's why I'm still very happy with it!
