Pros: -Great sound, even wireless -I've never had it die on me, the lifetime is really long. Around 10 hours, and even if it runs low, you can charge and play -Easy tap to mute on the side, and a button under the earphone to turn it down -It turns off after 3 minutes of no audio to save battery -You can use it wired or wireless, providing you have a longer USB cable

Cons: The setup is a little weird, you pair the headset and adapter by putting a paperclip in the adapter. After that though, smooth sailing. It turns off a little quick when AFK but if you're in a game it won't. I had a few issues with the RGB, since it can sync to your keyboard, and it's a little off and on. Not a big deal to me.

Overall Review: I actually got it from the store but refunded it when I found out the refurbished is the same. I have no issues with it, the foam on it is still good, it came sealed, but not with original packaging. I recommend it.

Overall Review: hardware works fine, but i've never had a laptop ship with literally no drivers at all. had to google the things since the ones on their site don't work. it's a good piece of hardware, the 16 series destroys 1080p. I bought the model with 16GB ram, and im loving it.

Pros: I love the physical appearance of it and the performance

Cons: The battery time could be a little longer

Overall Review: I've had it for a while now and just absolutely adore everything about it. I can play any game on Steam, I can use my work program . There's literally NOTHING this baby can't do!

Pros: I bought this side by side with my GTX 1070 last year, and man, it held up way better than the card. that's price wise, not hardware wise. Hardware wise, they will both likely see at least 3 years of use, ofc monitors outlast gpus since i probably will upgrade. Anyways, Picture quality. It's AOC, and I use Nvidia GFX, but it was a steal, I do understand that i'm missing out by not pairing it. The monitor is the best i've ever had, good response time, great colors. The fact that it's 28" is perfect for going from gaming to watching TV. For a game like counter strike, I prefer a smaller monitor, but that's what my 1080/24 inch is for. For games like GTAV or FFXV though, it really helps with immersion. I can't stress enough how good it looks. I don't really mess with the features too much, but it has good ports, It comes with a power brick though, as in an AC adapter. I might just have not bought a monitor in a while, but that's new to me. Keeping in mind that of course, all of my monitors before were 1080/720. As far as wear and tear goes... None really. Usually the base of the monitor is the first thing to wear, but it's pretty good. The base is made of some sort of metal, and my only gripe is how wide it is. It kind of hangs off the back of my desk, but it's not that big of a deal. The biggest noticeable thing about my monitor is that it has one dead pixel, exactly one. It's in the upper right corner of the screen. It looks to be exactly one pixel, and it happened about 9 months in. A reeeally big nitpicker might complain to no end about it, but it's not immersion breaking for me as far as gaming goes, and I havent had any other issues, so i'm not pleased, but not overly disappointed. Anyways, I bought this for 319 a year ago, and thankfully it's come out pretty decently, it's more expensive, but not like the 960 or the 1070 expensive. only about 40-50 more. My advice : Go for it when the prices settle.

Cons: 1 dead pixel

Pros: such a sad case, this card. i bought it a half a year after the launch of the 10 series, because i had a AMD mid tier card and I decided to make the switch. at 369.99, it was a STEAL. I'm planning on playing FFXV in 1440p60/4k30 ina few days with this baby, because the card is just that good. Low to medium demanding games, it does 4K, high demand you're going to get 1440p mid at the least. It was easy to install, I've never had any issues with it, ever. Now these days, it would be cheaper for me to sell this and buy a 1080ti than to SLI two of these bad boys, because of the mining fiasco. Basically, this was an amazing card for your value. Probably, in my opinion, this was the best high end card of all time as far as price went, to me. For nearly $600, this card looses all credibility. You can get a 1080ti on corsair's site, for not even that much more, WITH watercooling. I love this gpu, but until it goes back to MAYBE 400, it's not worth it.

Cons: price, through no fault of EVGA's

Pros: Picked it up for $700 with a free mouse and game, a steal. It seems I bought the last one, as when I went to show the offer to a friend, it was sold out. And for good reason. The 1050 is perfect for a gaming laptop, you're looking at GTA V 1080 high settings textures with a occasional frame drop to maybe 56fps when there's high octane action. The fans in this thing are great, easily controllable without going into BIOS, as dragoncenter, a preinstalled MSI application, makes doing that easy. You can have the fan really loud, a bit louder than a stock PC fan, but it keeps it at a chilling low temp, or you can make the fan almost un-noticeable. You can also choose to make it adjust accordingly. The SSD is scary fast, and after the first long process of updating windows, you'll notice the boot time immediately, the load speed in games, etc. I have a standard HDD and a hybrid drive, and this being my first SSD, the load time in games like GTA V (which normally takes a long time, even on a hybrid) was surprising. The display is good, it's nice and sharp, semi-adjustable via dragoncenter. After my experience with this laptop, and MSI parts, I can definitely say they've never let me down. I will add that a 1080 display is PERFECT for the 1050, it seems the 1050 is built for maxing out 1080p, and it shows. I would call the i5 7th Gen 7300HQ processor very close to being a mid-tier laptop processor, in that it does basically what it's made to do. It would hold up on CPU intensive games (proven by GTA V), it renders videos okay, maxing out at about 78C , and thats with out the fan on full blast. 8GB of ram is great for today's gaming scene, 4 used to be the standard but as gaming evolves, its becoming more apparent that we need more than that, especially if you're interested in multitasking. Speaking of that, if you're interested in turning this laptop into your desktop, you could always connect it to a monitor, since it is multi monitor friendly, it also has plenty of USB ports, even though some are only USB 2.0 while others are 3. Overall, like I said, it's been great so far. I bought it because i'm going to be away from home for a bit, and it pairs well with my desktop. I told myself that I probably would just stick with the desktop, but sometimes you wanna lay in bed and play an RPG, or maybe sit in a room without a TV and watch a movie. I've never had to turn settings down, the only time it got hot was with GTA V, which is understandable. If you want to get into gaming and want a laptop instead of a desktop, or maybe you just want a laptop to pair with your desktop. Either way, i'd recommend this.

Cons: Upgrading could be a problem if you want 16GB ram, which you'll need if you want to be up to date and have this laptop for the long haul. It seems ram and storage mods can be performed, but any modifications will void the warranty. I wouldn't call the audio garbage, but if great sound is a dealbreaker with you, maybe think about buying a set of HQ speakers or just decide on another laptop. Small storage. External hard drives are OK for multimedia, but cause stutter and long load times in games, they're generally not a good idea for gaming. and once again, adding a internal hard drive would void the warranty. If you're really tech savvy with laptops, go right ahead, but if you screw something up, you're without a paddle.

Overall Review: Here are some games I believe are demanding, and the laptop fared well against at a full 1080p resolution. Black Ops III GTA V NieR: Automata Prey (2017) DARK SOULS III
