High Performance Gaming Laptop Under 500

Bought this for my son. I paid the first $500 so he would have a laptop for online high school. He paid the rest to upgrade to a gaming computer. 2 months later, he says it is working great. No issues with lagging for gaming.

This Gaming Laptop is a solid choice for those who appreciate a machine that balances performance with practicality. It's equipped with Intel i7 ensuring that it can handle the demands of the latest games and multitasking with ease. The 4050 GPU delivers crisp, clear graphics, making every gaming session a visual treat. The Onyx Gray finish gives it a mature, sophisticated look, while the 15-inch display offers a generous view of your digital endeavors. It's a bit on the heavier side, but that's a small price to pay for a laptop that's as reliable as it is powerful. Whether you're gaming, working, or both, this laptop is a dependable partner for the long haul.

THIS IS A GREAT BUY!!!!BEST MIC YOU CAN GET FOR UNDER 500!!!...WILL BE BUYING FROM THEM AGAIN VERY SOON!!@@!!!! JW

I purchased this for my Acer Predator Helios 500 gaming laptop and it works perfectly! It arrived early and was easy to install. *Tip* - you can find easy installation instructions available online at crucial.com. I highly recommend this product and, moreover, B&H as a seller. Great product with quick and easy service!

This Gaming laptop has to be the best looking and amazing performance, for a reasonable price. With the 240hz display it’s clear and fast paced. Along with all the other specs. If you want it to be faster go for the i9 however, i7 runs everything perfectly for all of your needs. One thing I have noticed is this Laptop never gets overly hot and if you add a cooling pad it will never be over heated such a beautiful design with powerful performance and display 10/10 for me. One thing I did notice is when you have USBs plugged into it and turn it on, it will mess with the Acer sense I would suggest not having any USB plugged in until it’s fully powered on for everything to work well.

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 is a top-of-the-line gaming laptop that boasts both excellent performance and striking aesthetics. With a powerful 14th Gen Intel Core processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, it can handle even the most demanding games with ease. Additionally, the display delivers vivid visuals and a smooth refresh rate. Although not my favorite feature, the dazzling RGB lighting adds a touch of personality. While on the heavier side, the overall build quality is impressive. Although still not quite on par with the Zephyrus G16 build quality, the Scar 16 more than makes up for its build quality with approximately 20% more performance over the G16 and the ability to further upgrade the RAM for even more performance. If you're looking for a gaming laptop that offers both style and substance, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 is a great option for a portable desktop replacement.

I bought this laptop a few months ago but i respectively held off for the review in order to test it out and see exactly how it performs. As a youtuber i can tell you this laptop is A1 for the price considering what you are getting with an RTX 4080 and i7 13700. This thing is lightening fast and has had zero issues with gaming as far as performance, it is simply a dominant beast even when recording and RTX maxed out. this is my 3rd gaming laptop so i am experienced in knowing what is good and what isn't, and i can say that as long as you know your pc gaming stuff, this laptop is an easy 20 out of 10, yes twenty out of ten! If you wish to simply play the latest titles with the highest RTX settings for the next 3 years, i'd say to HIGHLY invest in this laptop as it has a nice look and beyond solid performance! Like i said, know your gaming pc stuff as far as how to set the pc up and where you'd like things such as the battery life and what not; and you'll be more than golden. The last reviewer probably wasn't the most tech savy, this pc is a 5 star easy and with a 12gb rtx 4080, it destroys ANY and all elite pc titles today as of this review and i'm easily sure in the next 3 years as well, expect the to play on highest rtx settings easy from 2024-2027 easy!!

This laptop has not failed me once after 4 months. There's some bloatware to be disabled, but nothing malicious. Great gaming performance, if you want better buy a desktop. Chassis is not bad at all, everything feels premium. I felt content buying it at $1650 and now it's even cheaper. Just be warned that B&H has no return policy for laptops.

Speed is adequate for gaming laptop. Didn't expect the top performance. With the affordable price this deal was really good.

Under valued I would say. This is a great lens with great color and overall performance. A new favorite. It is sharp and even performs well enough for portrait. I purchased for an art lens to create content. It is well made and solid with attention to detail. This is not a $1000 lens but at the price offered... it is worth for more then the price I paid. This is a must purchase.
