![ACEMAGICIAN [Gaming PC] Ryzen Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 7 5875U(up to 4.5Ghz) 16GB DDR4 512GB NVME SSD Mini Desktop Computer, Mini C](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71mJ4ID8lOL._AC_UL165_SR165,165_.jpg)
I have had this laptop for 1 week now and I am yet to come up with something that I do not like about it. Un-boxing was easy, I didn't realize this laptop came with a Asus ROG gaming mouse but I ordered a Corsair M65 anyway. The mouse provided by Asus is nice, nothing to knock it but I prefer the Corsair.
First impressions upon boot up were all positive, laptop came preloaded with windows 8.1 on the SSD which made first time bootup quick and painless. Once start up was done I shut it down then booted back up because I was curious to see how fast it would boot from the SSD and it is blazing fast, seconds from full shutdown to desktop loaded.
I loaded up a few games right out of the gate and started running some benchmark FPS averages. With Arma 3 running on all ultra settings I was averaging 39-50 FPS. Running Arma 2 on the highest settings was getting me 60+ FPS and the same goes for Counter Strike: Source.
Some people have complained about the smudges and fingerprints that are easily left behind when using this laptop. I would agree with them fingerprints are pretty visible and do linger but a damp paper towel wipes them all away and you get a good as new look. I did not lower the stars for this because this is a very sharp looking laptop, the red back lit keyboard is nice in darker environments and can be shut off if you do not want it on.
Sound quality from the speakers I would put with on par with the rest of the competition, not the best, far from the worst. While playing the games I mentioned before I was using the on board speakers and I didn't feel like game play was lost in any way due using the on board speakers.
One item this laptop and I would say most gaming laptops do need is a cooling pad, I ordered a Havit cooling fan for it while gaming. While gaming the exhaust does heat up and the cooling pad does do a good job at keeping temps low. I definitely wouldn't be gaming with this laptop on my lap but basic use, surfing the web and that kind of stuff, keeps the laptop pretty cool and having it on my lap for a couple hours while surfing the web was no issue at all.
Overall I gave this laptop 5 stars because it has done everything I expected and more. Gaming is amazing on this laptop, price point is great compared to the rest of the competition for what you get, and you can't go wrong with Asus 1 year no questions asked warranty. I was pleasantly surprised that I have 1 year of full coverage on any issues, spills, drops, breaks, anything.
