A Good Choice! No issues.
A solid choice for laptop gamers! I've had no big issues. I bought this along with a 16gb ram stick (because 8gb is not enough for most games). Taking off the back was a little difficult, but I got it without breaking anything. Moving files over from old laptop was easy with USB storage. A few things to note for future buyers: the keyboard is led back lit with red lights and there's no way to change that color, it has no micro SD card slot (very sad about that), it's battery runs out VERY quickly, but it charges decently fast. Overall, a very good pick if you're looking for an upgrade. If you already have a good gaming laptop, I'd suggest just saving for a desktop. I personally upgraded to this from a office laptop, so I was very happy to finally play games I've wanted for a while!

Excellent value and portability
Gaming laptops are generally bulky and heavy laptops but NOT this one. This is a very portable (not the lightest but still good) laptop offering balanced CPU / GPU power. Sure it's not the latest or have the greatest graphics but then you're paying less than $500. For that price, this is a very good value laptop that can handle all average daily tasks, many games and some basic graphics or media work. The keyboard is nice and properly sized for my large fingers. It's much easier and a pleasure typing. I do wish the trackpad was slightly larger but it works well. I most often use external mouse anyway. 720p camera is acceptable. It has plenty of built-in USB ports for connectivity, wifi/BT works well. Overall a very good first gaming laptop for value conscious folks. It weighs just barely above 4lbs. Look and feel is great also, see pictures.
