    Pretty good

    Good PC! lacks a little storage, the battery has a capacity of 2h - 3h a little too bad. It's a very good PC that can run a lot of games, and the reception is impeccable. Quite happy with the product

    Very good PC

    This computer suits my needs very well (graphics and gaming), but I still need to think about buying an extra south because it lacks storage.
