dedicated video card means this laptop will stay competitive for at least another year with up to date drivers and smart ownership. Beautiful keyboard display, matte finish on monitor makes it viewable from several angles ; Wow, the ethernet port....

This thing is huge. No, really, you're going to think otherwise until you have to replace your backpack. There are certainly bulkier and uglier machines out there ; It seems like some of the functions keys don't work? Specifically the eco setting....

nice smooth screen keyboard function are kinda nice

it is always overheating even with the fans on like it burns just to type with it. it was sent with a chipped plastic rim to the right ive never seen or had a chipped laptop in my life the ac also died after 3 months of use all in all deffinately not...

Powerful graphics card, decent speaker system, great keyboard LED function, shortcut keys for Turbo, fans, lights and keys

Screen is great quality, very high definition, but I feel like the anti-glare filter makes the colors a bit murky, even at highest lighting ; I game a lot, hence sweaty palms, but the plastic where you rest your wrist and lining the keyboard gets dirty...

Definitely a powerhouse, but far less than what is expected

GPU is advertised as 4Gb, but is actually just a 2Gb like the lesser model. When I finally received it, it was only reading 8Gb RAM, after inspection it turns out that the RAM sticks were chipped. SSD and such are nice, but make for a high price with...

Good looking, has good sound and keyboard best I've ever used

Computer arrived, unpacked and inspected. Found 3 keys had defects but not worth sending back. Computer has been working just fine until I wanted to use the WIDI function. Did the best I could to get working but couldn't. Called tech and the said...

When it started working, Worked flawlessly. Most games can run easily at 60 FPS. Very happy with purchase, apart from the massive frusteration that came with getting it set up

Oh boy...one thing i must say is do not install windows 7 on this laptop. I got a BSOD reffering to nvlddmkm.sys , which is part of the nvdia driver. This cannot solved unless you write over the existing windows 8 BIOS with one for windows 7 (DO NOT...

You can change the backlit keyboard's color & even make it pulse or wave aswell as it's keys feel larger than average(good for us big finger people). It has a dizzyingly large, bright & fast responsive screen. Starts up in just a few seconds &...

Feels just a little overall. Not sure if it's just me being used to slow pc framerates but the framerate in most games on this laptop just makes me a little dizzy(find I do find it a little fun though) It looks overall intimidating, waiting for it to...

Screen is quite bright, no glare even when in sunlight, Runs Skyrim perfectly with high to ultra settings, keyboard works well when not sticking (not having missing keystrokes that other reviews mention) (Also lights are pretty)

Simply put the keyboard keys occasionally "stick" and have had to remove key and basically fiddle with it until stops. Additionally touchpad is essentially unusable, other reviews mention this and you should really get a mouse

1:This thing boasts a lot of power for the price ; 2: The sound is very good for a laptop

1: It comes with windows 8. And yes, it is even worse than you feared ; 2:Weight. Everyone knows this is a heavy laptop, but what they don't tell you is that the power brick on this thing is HUGE, and very, very heavy. Easily the heaviest I have ever...

see my original pros

Ok so this is an update to my previous review after having had tons of time playing and tweaking this computer. It is still very powerful, problem is exactly what synbios said in his review. The Nvidia OPTIMUS is non configurable. You cannot shut it...
