    You honestly can't beat the size, screen, and performance combo here. It just runs hot as heck so that makes the fans loud if you want the best possible gaming performance.

    Fast, powerful, but the price point is a little high for what you get. It does not feel very durable, but it runs great. The extra space is a must

    Overall the performance on this laptop is great. My online gaming experience has been top tier but there are some downsides too. I mostly use an external display monitor and playing for hours causes the laptop to be hot to the touch like taking a plate from the microwave. Even though it's been sitting on my laptop fan the duration of the game play. Then the moment in open the laptop to display, the keyboard carries the same heat. I imagine the constant heat will result in a shorter lifespan of this laptop. Considering the amount of money I paid, I may return it for something else. Still deciding.
