    Very nice laptop; powerful and full of features; the one downside is the red lit backlight on the keyboard; for some reason, the red just irritates my eyes after a little while.

    The laptop runs great. Was decently priced. But I dont like that you cant change the backlight color of the keyboard tho like you can other Nitros. Very disappointing.

    This has been one of the best laptops I've ever purchased. The last laptop was slow from the get-go, but this machine has been fast, and the picture on the screen is "awesome"!! I love how quick the SSD drive is, and will never go back to the conventional hard drive. One of the reasons I bought this laptop was because of the NVidia graphics gard. I've used their cards before and have never been disappointed! I highly recommend this laptop for those who love games!
