Just picked this laptop up at Sam's this morning. It seems to work finer, including a fast Wi-Fi adapter, which was my main reason for getting a new laptop. My older laptop's Wi-Fi adapter was slow yet I have 500+ mbps up and down Wi-Fi speed in my home. With this FX506, I consistently get Wi-Fi speeds above 400 mbps. My only complaint it that 1) the 10 hour battery life touted on the instore display/info and on the demo unit, is way off.

Excellent everyday desktop laptop for home use. It is robust enough for everyday use with the added bonus of being able to do graphics and games when desired. Though it is marketed as a gaming laptop, I prefer this laptop for everyday use rather than lighter laptops. And, one of the best features is that the hinge holds well. Unlike previous laptops that I have owned when the hinge fails and the screen becomes unusable. This one is a winner..

Not used for gaming. I did simple crafting and some budgeting in Excel and the motherboard bit the dust after two years. Remained plugged in on my desk. No traveling with it. Would not recommend.

We bought this for our son, he says it works great with his games. No lagging.
