admittedly, i didnt know exactly what to look for in a pc but as someone who played frequently on laptop for years, i decided on a relatively cheap (based on previous research) pre-built to start myself off. quite frankly, i was impressed with this one. the only issue i run into, is the headphone jack can be a bit glitchy and sound will only come through one side unless its turned to a specific position. but i can also use the jack in my microphone, so its not a big deal for me anyway.im not great with tech, so when i ran into a couple of issues when setting up, i felt a bit stumped on what to do. customer service helped me out with my problems, including issues with connecting to the monitor (which just happened to be a loose cable), providing me with a windows product key when i couldnt find it on the pc and understanding components and getting them to work.i personally dont play many games and was worried when i didnt see the few i DID play in other reviews so i thought id mention the performance of those here… should they be of any use.minecraft varies around 150-200 (in the overworld on a world with quite a few builds and mobs) to around 580fps (which i was able to reach in other dimensions but not all the time, so it very much depends), which is honestly beyond what i expected. the pc does struggle with shaders, however, and will drop to 30-80fps depending on which shaders and shader options are used including, but not limited to, BSL, complementary and sildurs. still, the game is playable but if smooth gameplay and high fps is what you’re looking for with shaders, you most likely wont get that in MOST cases with this specific pc.valorant, on medium-high graphics, runs at 120-200fps and may reach almost 300 with the lowest settings. again, this definitely exceeded my expectations and is a breath of fresh air when you play on laptop at 30-50. i dont think this is something to complain about and was more than happy with the performance.the isle legacy (not a game i expect many people to know or play, but decided to include) can run at 80fps with high graphics—presumably more at lower options—but if playing evrima, the max you’ll get will be around 20 with the lowest playable settings. even the absolute minimum, it was struggling a bit although at that point, the game is pretty unplayable, in terms of graphics/visuals.i assume that with newer games/games with higher graphics, you’re not looking at the best performance. definitely research the cpu/graphics card before hand, to get a grasp of what it can and cannot handle.i also use this for university work, and the pc runs smoothly overall. i do plan on upgrading parts as time goes on, but as a starter pc it’s definitely worth investing in and id say i would recommend it to someone who might be thinking about purchasing it as their first too.
