Great laptop
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great laptop. All I did and I suggest other people to do is upgrade the memory. I put in 32 gigs of memory and the laptop is fast. I bought the laptop to use with image line fruity loops studio. You can’t beat the price with a full keyboard 17 inch screen. And it is very quiet.

Large screen, nice graphics
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to run my embroidery machine, which requires a heavy duty graphics card, fast processor, and the 512SSD is a bonus for storing my creations without having to transfer them to an external drive. I like the 17" screen, much less eye strain for the work I am doing. I discovered the response time is not as fast as expected, but maybe my tradeoff going from a smaller screen I7, to a the larger screen I5 will be a good one overall. The battery does not last as long as advertised, which was a bit disappointing. But, the price made it worth the trouble of keeping the power cord handy. I like it so far, suits my purpose!

Very Good Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really Liked this one. The screen is decent and the performance is good for the price. Just had to upgrade the ram. It would have been nice if they have added a bit more ram at this price. But other than that, a solid purchase. The chasis is more than enough to cool the components and so it never thorttles on high loads. Would recommend it.
