Worth every penny I put into purchasing this thing. More than I really need, but wanted. Practically have a screen the size of a television. This computer has a decent size solid state drive. Boot up is super fast. Practically takes 5 seconds. Processor has a boost up 3.5 Gigahertz. Can play videos up to 4K no problem. You would just need good internet to play YouTube at 4K. Video games at normal to high Graphics is no problem at all. May be a gaming computer, but great for work and video editing as well. Even has a adjustable brightness lighted keyboard. The only issue I found with this product is the screen size. I will need to purchase a new bag to fit this behemoth. The weight is not too big of an issue. Some people reviewed that the speakers being at the back is a bad idea, but it doesn't bother me. Lastly, it came with Windows 8. Luckily though, you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free, but only for a limited time.

Bought this to replace an older ROG with a failed hard drive (that one was purchased in 2010 so figured it wasn't really worth dumping money into a hard drive for "ancient" tech...) Didn't feel that it was worth the extra $300 for the extra 8gig of ram and slightly faster CPU - this laptop is a beast and so far has run everything I've thrown at it without a hitch. The ONLY reasons I don't give it 5 stars: 1. Not available in a store (must be ordered online - hated the wait! lol) 2. Hard drives were strangely partitioned - actually has "2" roughly 500 gig drives and "2" rougly 128gig SSD "drives" which makes things interesting when separating games/data (without paying extra for something like Partition Magic). Other than that though, very reasonably priced!

PROS: This is a high-quality gaming laptop, I am able to run all games at ultra with a good fps. I can even run high requirement games, such as Assassin's Creed Unity, on ultra with around 45 fps. The sound quality of the laptop is great also. It even has dual fans, which keep the laptop very silent when gaming. The laptop has never gotten hot, it's always cool. If you want more fps, it has a built-in overclocking. I also bought this laptop to use AutoCAD a lot and it runs flawlessly. CONS: This is not a laptop that you would want to get if you are looking for a mobile laptop, it weighs 8.4 pounds, so it is heavy. If you want a desktop replacement laptop, then this will meet your needs. Overall this is a great laptop and I have had no problems with it so far. You really get what you pay for. I recommend this for any hardcore gamer or for someone who will be using it for professional programs, so as AutoCAD. This is the holy grail for someone who is looking for a work/gaming laptop.
