This is my favorite gaming laptop. I have an Alienware desktop and another alienware laptop as well as as MSI. I got this spec - Intel Core i7-7820HK (Quad-Core, 8MB Cache, 32GB DDR4 at 2400MHz (2x16GB); 256GB PCIe SSD (Boot) + 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s. Graphics card NVIDIA GTX 1080. I play Call of Duty modern warfare, Crysis 2, Crysis 3, Doom, Rage 2 and Wolfenstein 2 - all on highest settings. I play online using a 1 Gb fios connection, no lag at all. It is a heavy laptop and it does get hot but I use a Cooler Master fan stand which I purchased to play on my bed. Only other complaint is not Blu ray / DvD drive, but almost no laptops come with cd-rom drives these days. After 2 years it still runs Windows 10 very fast with no degradation in performance whatsoever.

If you have unnecessary money to spend and you want something way above par, this is it. If you aren't into building PC's and don't have a problem paying for brand name, then this is perfect for the high end gamer. This thing should last you 3-5 years at least. I've seen posts about thermal paste delaming and it overheating but I have had no problem AT ALL. I frequently run the Oculus Rift through this laptop and man oh man, have NOT BEEN DISSAPOINTED. Again, I'm sure you can build your own, and save some money doing so but if you've got the cash...This thing is Dope!

Customers are impressed with the R4 17.3" Laptop's gaming capabilities, calling it great for both VR and non-VR gaming. The powerful GPU and 1440p screen are also praised. While some customers mentioned the laptop can generate heat, others found that using a cooling pad helps mitigate this issue.
