The thing is you are used to high end pcs but for people like us who use laptops from like 2011 or sumn this is heaven
True
right, i never had my own laptop, we have a family one thats at least from '09 lol, i finally managed to save up and ordered this one yesterday, im just happy im gonna have something lmao
Very true i wish i could get this and trash intel uhd graphics
Yes my laptop is like 10 yrs old and I cant even get 60 fps on ROBLOX ON THE LOWEST SETTINGS!
True
It's literally hitting 60fps on every game, this dude is nuts to be upset with a laptop this price.
120* 😳
@@deadan5 hello, i was on xbox one s and now buying this laptop. Do you think it would be a good switch and would it run cod?
@@empier4496 it would and the laptop is awesome trust me
@@deadan5 so if i buy this u r sure that it can run warzone?
@@empier4496 yes, check the laptop's review video on yt
I mean u can’t buy a “cheap” laptop and expect 200 fps ou max settings, most ppl who would buy this laptop would be happy playing on 60 fps
Especially someone like me who lives in nineteen frames lol
Agreed with you bro. For me, there is no point if you want to compare with other model that more expensive than gf63. If you have enough budget please go to high end laptop.
Yhea man that's literally me.
As long as it doesn't drop below 30 fps I'm happy
Yeah I agree like my friend runs 240 on performance mode and everything on low
I got this laptop in September 2021 as a birth day present and I've always been eager to look at reviews of it and to see if other people share my same positive thoughts on this product but after watching this video I completely disagree with some of the points he had
This laptop is very good at both gaming and personal work/school and far exceeds every thing this guy said about it
What do you think of HP Pavilion Gaming?
@@liricothefirstandonlymarcoo I've never owned it but one of my friends owns it and says its one of the best for anyone wanting a budget gaming laptops
I have this laptop and I hate it freezes a lot on me I’m thinking on selling this!
@@rakzopp its probably your ram or ssd you should get a replacement for each
@@jorgedavid1104 alright thanks!
For the lower end budget gaming laptops this is by far the best. Especially when your not looking to spend $1,500 to $2,000 k on something high end. This is absolutely a gamer pc I would recommend to anyone. Obviously when you are used to the high end models this wouldn't seem that great. This computer is indeed a great everyday gaming pc. What a crap review from this guy.
MSI should ban him from ever owning any of their products lol
Better than the hP gaming 15?
no, cap the acer nitro 5 is better but now its more expenive than the msi, i have it myself and i use it as my primarly system and i had to optimize it no had to but i wanted to get higher framrate and better performance.
It's got to be somewhere between this the hp victus, and the Acer nitro 5
If you have a msi monitor less 200$ on Black Friday and look good on the ps4 and got this laptop later I just need a keyboard it’s amazing I only had one hard crash but that was because I was playing online I could probably blame that on servers
I have been using my GF 63 since 2020. Best bang for buck. Can handle my selection of gaming in ultra settings, This is a very solid and sleek model. Very easy to carry around. I even use it for office work lol.
If you adjust the fan settings to something more aggressive for high cpu and gpu temperatures in the advanced mode in Dragon Center, the temperatures will drop and the performance improves a bit. The fans will obviously get louder though, but since most people play with headphones it doesn't really matter that much.
It's also worth noting that the ram is upgradable and that there is a slot in the laptop for an additional HDD or SSD.
This laptop has been perfectly fine for me, and I get good frame rates in games like GTA V, even with high settings
This dude is measuring external temp like a nurse looking for covid. There's a fan inside, there's aluminum, there's plastic, maybe there's steel. Heat is moving around always depending on the material. It could look hot or cold outside but inside is another story. That's why this video is not a technical valid opinion and just an aesthetic appreciation about the laptop.
I have every setting in gta v at very high or high and it still runs very smooth without any frame dips
I got one. It runs great. 649.00...All other popular gaming laptops are out of stock at the major retail. With no idea when any will be back im stock. So, with 649.00 available, 3 day BIRTHDAY day off....It was a sale....I've run Noita/C&C remastered HD/gray goo/ TAUR...All run great at 1080p....I made sure the dragon center was set to extreme performance for cooling...It hasn't gotten loud at all...
@@guqinbeats Right? This might as well have just been a 3 minute unboxing video. He could have at least had MSI Afterburner running or even Hardware info in the background to at least get accurate temps. He didn't even take off the bottom panel to see if the ram and SSD are upgradable. Very poor "review".
what about minecraft?
“Bottom of the line specs” let’s not forget laptops that have the 1650 max q, the 1050, and etc. any graphics card like those are hella better than integrated graphics, and integrated graphics can run a plethora of games. There’s no need to spend big bucks on an RTX variant UNLESS you’re looking into the future and want some die hard performance, but even then the 1650 caps at around 50 - 54 for AAA Games and that’s more than enough, more FPS means more demand on the cpu
Exactly I was getting annoyed at how often he was saying bottom of the line when I’d call this more of an entry to high end gaming
@@elreido7196 and especially with the infamous graphics card shortage, these are quite appealing for high school students like myself
@@tamiwu0346 yeah and I have a 2070 super desktop so as a laptop to travel with it’s a no brainer.
so i see one lap which is 11th gen i5 with iris xe and one with 9th gen i5 with gtx 1650,plz tell me which is better in performance and by how much
@@MW-pi8ql so the 1650 max q with the 9th gen i5 has way better performance as it has a dedicated gpu, more then double performance it will run just about every game at 1080p med-high settings 50-60fps I’m actually getting a 1650 laptop soon it should be good only thing you will want to do,is upgrade it to 16gb of ram from 8gb.
There's a really big dilemma for budget gamers like me. It's impossible to find a good honest reviewer for laptops in our price range. It seems every youtuber, media outlet, and forum is biased towards higher end hardware, and benchmarks and compares lower end laptops as such. For example, you state that it's "playable" at 60fps. But it's $650 with a 4 core and a 1650, not to mention that the panel only runs at 60Hz, so that's a mute point. You also talk a bit about screen tearing but that stuff is easily fixable using g sync and other methods of syncing the frame rate to the refresh rate. It's unfair to talk badly about stuff that's stated in the spec sheet. Us buyers can always look at a piece of paper, but what we can't determine is the quality of the panel (which is what you talk about), how to keyboard feels, build and structural quality, thermals based on certain factors like the settings you're playing at and whether you're using a cooling pad or a riser. You could even talk about stuff like the build in software, amount of bloatware (256gb isn't alot of space just to be occupied by norton and mcafee lol). I'm just saying how this review could be better and could focus on factors that we the buyers care about.
As an owner of this laptop(with a bit more space being the 512GB ssd version), I can 100% confirm that this is the worst review I've ever seen on this laptop. This review has no relevance to it's intended audience. To anyone looking to buy this laptop I strongly recommend doing so. The level of performance and value you get at this price point is insane. The build quality aspects mentioned in the video could'nt be further from the truth, it is well built and feels a lot stronger and rigid than my previous laptop and with that being said, a lot of people are likely to get external keyboards and mice anyway so they won't be tampering with the Laptop's build as much. The temps of internals such as the GPU and CPU are consistent and sustainable even while playing titles such as GTA V, FIFA 22, FH5, The Witcher 3 and COD etc on high settings at 1080p
@@wisanipallo8007 you are a good man, thank you.
@@wisanipallo8007 This laptop is definitely great considering what you're getting at this price point, this review is terrible as well I agree!
@@wisanipallo8007 I know right i also have this laptop and its a bang for your buck now of course your no gonna get a really powerful laptop but this laptop can handle most AAA really well and he is a bad reviewer because he is so used to a high end pc
Most people will want to upgrade to 16gs of RAM in the future and it REALLY helps in games nowadays. Maybe touch on if the laptop is upgradable in future vids.
Is the 30gb ram worth getting? I am considering it
@@Matt15199 If it has the same CPU and GPU specs then no. You can buy this one and add another stick of RAM of 8gb to make it 16. It is easy to install more RAM just make sure it has the same speed. Is this one upgradable? I'm not sure but I believe so.
I don't think so as a friend told me a screw to remove the panel is blocked by a sticker that if you break or remove will void the insurance- however I may be wrong
It's upgradable to 64 GB.
All AAA games need 16 GB of dual channel. That's a no brainer, spend $40 and up the ram and you're golden.
‘For $300 dollars u could get something better.’
Me: why would I be watching this if I had $300 more to spend?
Rich people thingz. He didn't even check that the fan and display are adjustable smh. Btw did you get the laptop? How was it?
I would suggest buying the i7 version and upgrade the RAM and add on a larger SSD, the SSD inside the stock laptop is quite limiting however you can replace it for another, the laptop on the 11th gen i7 supports up to 64GB which is more than enough to suit your needs with gaming and streaming, this is a laptop that can be upgraded... I'm typing on it right now and it's a nicely rounded laptop that's light weight and has options for upgrades... so a student would be happy with it if you give them a duel channel setup and extra storage.
Thank you for reviewing lower spec budget laptops. Reviewers mostly review only high end expensive ones that’s out of reach for a lot of us.
My old gaming laptop died, so I'm looking into getting a budget one. I'm considering this one. For $650, this is a great laptop and I wouldn't mind all the flaws since it's not gonna be my main computer. Want it for traveling
I really appreciate the temperature and sound measurements you did. A lot of reviewers never talk about that so thank you very much.
It is an honest review- from someone used to high end top of the line PC's for some people they don't want to spends thousands on a laptop, when they can buy a relatively cheap laptop which performs well enough to run many high requirements games at a steady 40-60fps. I do appreciate the honesty I just think the review was over critical. I would highly recommend this to anyone getting in to PC gaming and doesn't want to spend so much. and of course if you get in to PC gaming there are much more expensive and better performing laptops like the Asus Nitro 5 and the Aienware laptops
bro its acer nitro 5 not asus
I run mine high or whatever max settings each game lets me use and i sit at an easy 100fps upgraded to 32gb ram will eventually under volt it as i heard it improves performance and it runs cooler
I own this laptop and you can adjust the fan settings, it works very well and I don’t get much choppiness from the screen. I also don’t really even hear the fans when it is in gaming mode (default). This is my first gaming laptop but I also use this for school and this thing works very well. It gets hot but it runs good and I personally really like it. I also only got this for $400

@Dat Boi 60fps easy?
Obviously you dont get the same performance as a high end laptop but, if you expect the same performance here then there's no point of high end laptops right 🤡
Love the videos, you have this amazing energy and you can tell you really put effort into your videos ❤. I'd like to ask something, i'm looking to get a gaming headset between 200-300 euro and recently bought the arctic 7 but thinking was it the right choice and of I should return?
Problem with him is he wants it to run like $3K machine. If you want high end then pay for high end. Biased review
I do, and did
Honestly, this doesn't look too bad for the price. Of course it will perform worse than a laptop that costs 5 times as much.
Got one for 500 bucks today😁😁

Never lending my stuff to them again.

Hi techne I just wanted to know about your opinion on this laptop if you think its decent or bad, the specs are gtx 1660ti, i7 10750h wth 24 gb ram, the ram is 1x 8gb , 1x 16gb
I just got the exact same laptop for $500 on black Friday. Works great! But sound doesn't work through HDMI with Bethesda games; in-game sound won't play on my TV. Will have to reinstall sound driver to fix. No Man's Sky, Skyrim and Fallout 4 loads super fast, like Xbox Series X fast. It is a great laptop for the price.
Just debating if I would buy this laptop from sale. For youtube, twitch and netflix, occasional bed gaming... Great video, model here has 144Hz display for the same price. Only thing I was left wondering how is the batterly life? I would like to watch at least 3 to 4 hours of videos untangled.
I definitely believe 3-4 hours of watching is possible on this laptop. An extra upgradable SSD slot aswell with as a hard disk slot.
@@RB_2709 I ended up buying one. Seems amazing value for the money. Definitely can do 4 hours youtube/twitch. 512GB storage is plenty for me.

yo did yu get it? Im thinking about getting one and I also need 3-4 h battery life for school
I have exactly this laptop with worse GPU, 1050ti. Everything is on stock with no upgrades and it literally run all games. To get 60fps in later games, u need the correct settings ofc, but other than specs and performance the build quality is very solid. Almost 2 years in!
Me : I have 12 years old computer
About to get the 2022 model for Christmas and I'm excited. Up until this point I've been on a old laptop with Intel HD graphics and a pentium n3540.
I bought this laptop r81 new world came out, I did try to get the gf65 which was the $300 more expensive one but no store in my area had one and I was on my way out of town for a month so I settled for the 63.
All-in-all I will eventually wind up getting something much stronger.
i love how its just fortnite that is doing the bad things but hes blaming it on the laptop

Here is what I want to know how much better will this MSI gf63 be (for streaming) compared to the HP Pavillion Ryzen5 with 8gb sdram, 512 SSD storage & ADM processor & it's $100 less.
How well do you think this laptop would run a twitch steam? I don’t really want to have 2 desktops and wanted to game on the go (rocket league, Fortnite, or age of empire 3) when needed so I figured if I could just get a strong enough gaming laptop it should keep up. Buy it or keep saving? Any advice would help!

Tbh, this product should have been compared against its product tier.
Razer was mentioned more often than this "budget" laptop in this vid. It's a $3000 vs $650 laptop. Ofc it is going to be overkill
im seeing this using the 1650 Ti version 10scr i5. adobe premiere, mmorpg, valorun, that all just fine for me. best value for money i tell you. kinda stupid comparing to 3080ish laptop. the only problem is with the previous unit. im giving you guys advice here. abuse this after buying. the first unit got only 1,5 hours battery life. i complain to the store, then got the replacement. the new one reach 4 - 5 hours movies / youtube. using zoom only last 2 hours. browsing last a bit more then 5. 6 hours if you set to the lowest setting just to watch non streaming videos. so, make sure you test the battery. these case happens. i look it up and yes theres some. benched it compare to my i7 pc with 1650 super, got around 77:99 fps. i can live with 20% differences.
maybe im too late, but whatever. im planning getting this when it's sale, I'm only doing a bit of gaming, probably indie titles like hades, maybe some league of legends. mainly I'm going to use this for animation (maya, blender, and substance painter, photoshop, premiere and after effects)
is it worth the price? I'm on a budget, also considering the i7 (gf65) model, but it's really hard to get in my country.
Love this review straight to the point thank you.
I have the same laptop and its my first Gaming Computer. Just added a extra 500GB SSD with the 250GB it comes with. Planning to upgrade the Ram to 32GB. But so far ITS GOOD. Coming from someone who play a intel, 4gb ram HP for so long xD. This Laptop is Heaven for me

First thing, thanks for the review. It has been really great to see the machine up and running, just to have a visual reference to how big it is and how it looks on a desktop.
I still think that you missed a big opportunity here. Instead of comparing this machine to the big boys (of course it's going to be stinky, come on), you should have spent a bit more time talking about stuff that people really look for when buying a laptop on this range of price.
I'll explain myself better.
Is the monitor good compared to same price laptops? I mean, I don't wanna make names (Lenovo, I'm looking at you), but usually monitors are pretty crap in this range of price.
Is it easily upgradable? Removing the back panel, adding more ram, changing nvme ssd, adding an additional ssd? (I've seen it open so that is a solid yes).
How's battery life, both during normal usage and gaming? MSI states 7 hours of battery life... is it true? (I guess not but I'd like to have an informed opinion)
Is the type c able to output a third display signal? You don't wanna use additional monitors for gaming on such a low specced laptop, but out there there are plenty of people that need a laptop with a dedicated gpu to run AutoCAD and other productivity applications (not everyone is a CZcamsr out there, you know... someone uses their laptops to study and do old boring jobs).
Is the red glowing keyboard easy to type on? Is the colour an annoyance during long sessions of writing in low light environments? To make it short: how bad is it compared to a normal white backlit keyboard?
Temperature monitoring was great btw, absolutely on point. And also pointing out the always spinning fan, even if it's not that loud on idle but still spinning nevertheless (but it's a gaming laptop, spinning fans are unfortunately part of the package).
Of course compared to a Razor Blade or an XPS this laptop loses on every front, but come on... they cost 3 times more. It's like suggesting a Tesla model X to someone looking for a Prius: of course it's better but that's not the point.
Wish you the best.

The Lenovo i5 and i7 models are great you should look into them
As for your question adding the few bucks is worth honestly
Depends on your priorities, if gaming is your purpose and the other laptop might be worth it, but the cpu on the asus is better so for like video editing,graphic design the ryzen system would be more capable. So the question is what is the priority? Both systems can game for sure so I dont think you will feel bad either one, but the 3060 is definitely a nice performamce uplift. Also watch out because these days it seems like two laptop 3060s can perform very differently due to the way manufacturers hand power standerdization to gpus, personally I reccomend watching reviews on specific laptops. Hope it help.

Hi guys, how is the typing experience on this laptop? I will use it for coding and gaming both. For gaming i see lots of good reviews but what about coding experience. I hope keyboard is solid and don't have any shake while typing.
hey, ik this comment is quite old but imo the keyboard is good. (typing this with this very laptop rn)
Consoles are underatated so much easy to use and cheap. Well unless you buy from a scalper. 😑
I have a better version of this laptop ($800) love it ! Keep up the 🔥 reviews techne
which one is it ?
Name of laptop?
@@tarekmoghrabi362 its the same exact laptop but the gpu is just an rtx 3050
@@xnlyxn9862 ight thx
This video was really useful!! I needed a budget laptop for mostly school stuff but also some sims 3 and 4 (with lots of mods and cc) on the side. It will arrive next week, really looking forward to it :))
and 60hz is fine for my use as i have a 165hz monitor that i run my 1440p 2070 super build on so its good for portable gaming and mostly schoolwork they also offer a 144hz version for the same in my region.
Bought to order some merch! I own a custom computer shop so the WASD shirt is going to fit right in ❤️
Ehhhh that I I so much for the support
@@TheTechne stroke lol
I use this for my primary gaming device
Hey, looking to invest in something like this because I like console but want to play more games on pc and mod. Is this a good idea?
I got a slightly better version of this with gddr6 for 899 CAD and i don't get why people complain man, even the model in this video runs pretty great to me, I could run games like GTA5 and FH5 at some pretty high settings
This video would be much better with a hardware usage benchmarks showing where the bottleneck is while in game.
I just bought the i5-10500 in it and after upgrading the ram it runs a lot smoother. I have a few sodimm ddr4 stick lying around and after getting it up to 16gb the bottleneck is more or less gone.
I have a few GTX and RTX builds and right now is April 2022 this laptop is a steal for the price considering a new 1650 would be $250-350 alone.
Everything outside of star citizen should run at 60FPS in med settings(i have a RTX 2060,i7 desktop that barely gets 30 avg on a good day so it's expected) Older games and eSports can run high/ultra with 60fps+. Considering the screen is 60hz will cap it at 60 unless running on a external monitor.
FWIW I think this is a great deal and am happy with it.
How would you upgrade the RAM on it? I’m kinda new to gaming laptops lol
@@foxtrotalpha7119 it's all good man. If you're in North America you can get a 8gb stick off Amazon. I'd just add the to the open slot. 16gb is more than enough for almost any game at the moment.
It's like 10-20 mins so easy to do and will really help with games!
@@robertd7275 Thanks!
I have this and the only complaint I have is the battery life
How long does it go?
For me, it lasts about 3-4 hours in casual use and about 1 hour of gaming. That might be what all gaming laptops are like, but this is my first gaming laptop so I dunno.
@@virtualboy4305 what are the frames on warzone apex cod etc
@@sugestive371 I haven't tried yet but I think warzone is at least better than on ps4
I just got this and plan on adding extra storage and another 8g ram stick and adding liq metal thermal to lower Temps by 10 to 20 degrees
i want to buy this gaming laptop since it’s cheap and because I want to play left 4 dead1/2 on steam. Should I buy it? Please give me your opinions.
day 1 of telling techne to make a discord server
Worst review I have ever had to sit through.
very helpful, I'm getting this set up on a msi, I have a desktop pc that I build with the r9 5950 and a rtx 3060 ti for music production, I'm looking to be more potable since I just started to travel to meet people and record them. I know for fact the cpu on this setup will do the trick for what I need it to do. But I also want something that I can play casually while I travel without going too crazy on the graphic. Thank you.
Would you say this would be okay for minor video editing and light live streaming?
Believe me this laptop gets so much better when you add an i7 instead of i5 for about 1000, if you are on a budget and dont care about gaming, sure but I swear the i7 is worth it
Edit: you also get like 8 to 16 gig of ram instead of 4 if you get the more expensive one
It's called a BUDGET laptop for a reason. Don't ask us to fork out our live savings just so we could "appreciate" gaming through your pov. People who can afford to buy high end gaming laptops aren't going to be interested about budget laptops. The reason why most of us sit through this review is because we don't have a lot to spend. All we need to know is whether it's good enough for the PRICE or not. And if there are better options for us broke mofos, why not just state them in the video so we can move on. smh
So true what is there to nitpick about high end gaming laptops. It's like Lamborghini or Ferrari. Even if Lambo is rough around the edges and handling not as smooth as Ferrari, it's Lambo for God sake. Same with high end gaming laptops. Even if it doesn't match with their preference they can just buy new one.
Bro the fact that my old laptop couldn’t even run league of legends above 10 fps and Fortnite crashed every time I tried to get on it this is incredible
This is going on sale for around $400 on Walmart in a few days. That's like 50% off. Will definitely try to scoop one up at that price.
yeah lol seems really good at that sale price
Its $500. Don't you think Cybersales are gonna have better deals?
If there are better deals just return the laptop
@@getpoked2498 I should've done that but oh well. Hopefully cybersales will be better
@@Ceez542 it's alright i just got the laptop order like 20 minutes ago by spam refreshes and tackling the bots down, you can still try to get it
He complains so much because he’s rich and wants the most expensive stuff I hate people like this
Some people can’t afford stuff like he can
Rich? I wish
ok he's just talking about the stuff that he notices aren't really the best not really bc hes "rich" hes just letting the consumer know what is on here that is on better quality laptops.
there's no reason to hate
Dude Techne is one of the last tech CZcamsrs that reviews budget gaming equipment. He's stated before that he does this stuff because he knows not everyone can afford a 3k Razer Blade (I sure as hell can't) so maybe I'm someone in the market for a budget laptop for gaming (I'm not but someone here is). That's where this channel comes in handy, it's a realistic take on tech the average consumer can afford without skipping rent/bills. Maybe this helped a college student decide whether or not to buy this specific laptop, or a parent decide whether this is enough for their kid to get into the Fortnite PC scene. No reason to dog on Techne for comparing it to a top o' the line laptop, it helps set an expectation for the lower end stuff. I've never defended a content creator before but man Techne is real with his content, no fluff, no bias, just real, raw helpful opinions and reviews.
i literally have this laptop and its just fine lmao
Is it more high performing that a top of the line iPad? Or how does it compare to the new Xbox series x and ps5?
Same I wanna know
it's same as ps4pro
Love the energy, subbed!!
thank you :)
I am think to buy that one to use photoshop, what do you think, is it good option...?
Is it bad that I bought this mainly to do CAD (Fusion 360)? My PC is from 2010, figured why not?
If you look closer, there is ray tracing effect on the laptop surface.
I’m hoping to get this for my birthday, never had my own pc / laptop but I do like gaming, my dad has always had a gaming laptop even though he doesn’t game, had a GTX 1090 Ti for VR now he has a GTX 3060 Ti for web browsing lmao.
I'm big into gaming pcs etc. And I was looking for something that I could use at work while I care give, I get lots of down time to play on my phone and thought a gaming laptop would be perfect for apex while I have my downtime. Wasn't looking to spend a 1000$ plus for something ima use for a few hrs a day if that to play a few games that don't require crazy depending cpu/gpu so i feel like this msi laptop would be a killer bang for the buck!!
what rating would you give the sound card out of 10? 10 being the best
Picked this bad boy up from Walmart for 499 on Black Friday best deal ever
No this is not my first gaming pc but for laptop wise it was one of the best ones I’ve ever had
No game I've played on this hasn't gotten at least 60 fps.
A heavily modded Skyrim is still hitting around 50 with 4k textures and a EMB.
For the price, this laptop has been nothing short of amazing.
You're not going to escape fan sounds with a gaming laptop.
Why would you squeeze out another $300 for something a tiny bit better that you probably won't even notice?
Quick question. On Fortnite, medium settings, does it get close to 80 FPS or higher? Also, does it run Warzone? I'm interested in buying a new laptop that can game not high demanding titles. But I'm stuck between choosing this laptop or the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3...
Can anyone help me out?
a lot of people diss the gtx 1650 but man, unless your playing cyberpunk on max settings, that graphic card can do some nice gaming on medium settings
Can you use gaming laptops for regular use things like, Microsoft Word, browsing the internet, and basic stuff like that?
Yes
i have this computer and i can confrim that you can edit on it play older games on high graphics at 60 fps and new games on medium on just about 60/50 fps its a solid option for the price i do however recommend upgrading the storage cause its only 256gb but just get a external hard drive and you'll be good if your on a budget i highly recommend buying this for the price if you wanna know if you can run a specific game when you get it just go to can i run it? download it follow the exe and see what games you can and can not run with all that being said hope you guys enjoyed my little rant peace
