Thanks for this review. It's nice to see cheap laptops have good/decent potential at such low price points.

Your conclusion is basically spot on: add RAM and Disk and you have a super capable laptop still under $1K. Bonus points for that nice full keyboard.

Regards.

Fyi, this model has a free additional 2280 SSD slot (gen 3).
So for $61 I picked up an Acer 1TB to add as a secondary and the matching DDR4 3200 8GB was easy to find ($23).
For less than $100 I have a 16gb 256GB + 1TB laptop. Would've been nice to have that stock, but it's cheap.

Single channel memory in a "gaming" or work laptop, well anything other than a basic email machine is laughable.

I just bought this laptop for 580 bucks out the door. I think it’s a steal. Once I upgrade it, going to run some benchmark tests.

Indeed. The Black Friday sale got it back down to 549 + tax. With the other Black Friday sales going on, easy to pick up a 1TB M.2 (samsung 980), the hardware to mount it (laptop is lacking it) and a 16GB matching RAM kit (crucial). All of that was around $120.

hey, I’m currently experiencing infuriating pain with my new laptop. It’s medion erazer p15805, has good specs with a 1660 TI yet can’t even run fortnite low settings smoothly, runs at around 60fps in Low with stutters every 5 seconds. Will buying another ram stick to make it dual channel substantially improve my laptop and fix my problem once and for all?
