What we think
This laptop focuses heavily on upgradeability and key features that I strongly encourage people to consider when purchasing a laptop. Most laptops usually last between 3-4 years these days, and being able to upgrade nearly every piece of critical component prolongs that period of needing to buy a new laptop altogether. We expect great things from the Glock 5 Ace Gen 3 and look forward to reviewing it.
