This laptop was purchased for photo and video editing and does amazing. It fits perfectly in the laptop sleeve of my camera bag. Every now and then the Lightroom CC app will crash on me but that’s probably software. I don’t really like some of the stock software (steelseries, MSI, Xbox) that pops up every now and then and I don’t really mess with PC’s so I haven’t removed them I just deal with it. I think twice in just over a year I’ve had to do a hard power cycle in order to start the computer. The power adapter is a huge brick (like the size of the Xbox 360 brick) and that’s a bummer but worth it for the juice. I have it hooked up to a 32” monitor with DP and that works great!

Handles dota2 at 230+fps and yet temp is below 80c. The stupid side? The cable between AC brick and the laptop is too short, you can’t use it without putting the brick on desk when you are sitting high… the other, horrible touchpad, slow, not responsive to clicking… third, 1080p 360fps is not comparable to 2k 165fps for those who don’t play cago or something.

Use this for gaming all the time. The speed, RGB, and 360hz is amazing.

This is my first gaming laptop, Man I highly recommend this to you, this laptop not only fast but built very well it is steel series so it might be a little heavy for some. you will not have to worry about it getting damaged. The screen is very crisp and bright, playing games on this laptop almost feels fake it is so clear the response is amazing. The battery is not the best but for the gear this has in it i can understand. Love the feel of the keyboard and the lights are awesome fully customizable.

Just got this shipped and was well packaged. The laptop looks really nice and is running well. Screen looks good and games run good at high settings. Haven't had long enough to see any issues or rate the battery life. This is running a lot better than an Omen 16" gaming laptop I had to return because it was having issues.
