Fast and powerful machine!
I got this machine a week ago and I use this machine primarily for architectural plans and 3d presentations and performs amazingly fast. I raytraced the renderings below in 4 seconds each. The screen resolution is awesome and can handle anything I throw at it with my CAD programs, I am not a gamer so can not comment on that. Battery life is not the greatest and when rendering it guzzles like a Ferrari and has to be plugged in but no biggie.

Almost to good to be true
Purchased for gaming outside of home, as is a laptop, had charged full battery before traveling. Played for 20 min and battery came down to 15% percent from 100% Cant really play unless your plugged in to the wall so if your looking to game just know you need to be plugged in. Also the computer gets extremely hot, almost to hot to touch. Other than that graphics and performance are super good. Just wish they would have increase battery size and better cooling capabilities.
