Good Deal, Some Frustrations

 

I'm glad I bought this because it's by far one of the best prices for all that it includes but I bought it mainly for watching movies and using heavy graphic editing programs and am very disappointed with the bottom mounted speakers and lost sound...

- Great price for all that's included (i7, 1gb memory, great graphics) - Windows 10 (thankfully it's not 8) - Huge +17" screen - Relatively light for how large it is - Great compact charging cord/not too heavy

- HATE that the speakers are beneath the laptop. If I'd intended to use this laptop at a desk it would produce great sound but unless it's on a hard, completely flat surface, sound is greatly muffled and distorted. I wouldn't suggest buying this if you...

++ Bang for buck

 

Most reviews you'll find online for this Z70 will be riddled with complaints from the "not so bright" folks, take them with large grains of salt. Hardware and software are two entirely different worlds and just because many folks don't care for Windows...

- Large and beautiful 17" screen. Great viewing even in sunlight - Solid form factor with little flex. Bit heavy, but it's a full size entertainment laptop - Low profile keyboard with smooth keystrokes. Some may not like this, but I do. - I/O ports...

I did my research and knew all of this prior to my purchase, but some additional features would have been nice to have: - No back-lit keyboard - Slow crawling HDDs are a thing of the past and hybrid drives should be outlawed due to their high failure...

Great but with a few annoying flaws

 

Despite the flaws I do really like the laptop. I'm not sure if I would universally recommend purchasing it over other options, as there are lots of good laptops out there without the flaws, however if the price is right then this laptop will do the...

- Screen looks great - Runs games and software well. Just for reference, I play Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3, Civ 5, etc, and it runs them very well. I haven't tried any games that really push the graphical limits, but for almost all modern games this laptop...

- The keyboard can be annoying. Some commonly used keys are weirdly small, the whole thing feels a bit cramped, and when typing fast the keyboard sometimes can't keep up. Once you get used to it it is OK, but not ideal. - The USB ports sometimes take a...

Flawless

 

I have 30 years in the computer industry.

I don't have the issues with the keyboard that have been reported, but I have a heavy touch when I type. This unit has decent battery life, and has handled my video games without lag. (Civ5, Battlefield Hardline,). Thin and light hardware, but feels...

Don't buy for the numbers pad

 

This is one of the few notebooks available with the non-glare screen and a numbers pad - but if you need a numbers pad, this is not a good solution. Be prepared for a serious 'getting used to" stage.

Screen is great anti-glare for those of us who use notebooks for work.

I, and most others I know, buy these 17" notebooks for the keypad. Don't. The numbers pad feels small and awkward. The whole keyboard does, actually, but the rest you can get used to. The biggest problem with the numbers pad is its odd "0" key...

Development on the cheap

 

I needed a cheap laptop to do dev on the road, and feel very boxed in trying to develop on less than 1920x1080... and text is too small at that resolution on a 15". So here I am, unhappy, not much alternative at my budget.

CHEAP, full size screen (I'm using for web dev on the road)

Keyboard is complete garbage... so many missed keys when typing, especially the space bar, but happens all over the keyboard. Super annoying when trying to type passwords and some random char is omitted. Just writing this review, I've had to go back...

Price range PERFECT

 

Laptop is absolutely perfect for the price range.5th gen i5 with a pretty decent GPU for a notebook. Not a huge gamer on the PC but do like to play my occupational few. Has played all I have installed as of now with great framerate. Laptop is fairly...

Great Laptop, But Defective Sound

 

It's a great laptop overall, I just think the integration between the processor, video card and sound card is faulty somewhere. No matter what I did (recovery, driver update, driver downgrade, settings change in BIOS). The only workaround for the sound...

This is a great bang for your buck. Display is above average as well as the video card for a laptop. Newest processor runs great

When enabling the NVIDIA GeForce 840M to as the primary video card whenever I would watch YouTube videos or play games the sound would crack/pop from the laptop speakers as well as the 3.5mm headphone jack through headphones. I tried researching this...
