Customers are saying
Customers are delighted by the Area-51 gaming laptop's exceptional performance and robust build quality. The powerful processor and effective cooling system contribute to high frame rates while maintaining surprisingly quiet fan operation. However, some customers find the laptop to be somewhat heavy and not ideal for portability. Also, the battery life is not sufficient for gaming on the go.

Great Laptop Good Price but Weight :)
If You want a true desktop replacement this is a great laptop. Runs cooler and quieter than most. However it is the heaviest laptop I have ever owned. Due to the weight I would have liked a grippier bottom. Not sure the purpose of the window on the bottom but it is fancy. Minor annoyance all the ports are in the back. Adding 2 more on a side would have been nice.

These laptops are amazing.
This is an excellent, super-fast laptop that is physically very beautiful. It is a bit heavy, but that isn't of much importance; I recommend it to anyone—it is a high-end laptop.
