    the only issue is that the laptop gives off a tremendous amount of heat. purchased cooling mat with it but it still gives off a lot of heat. Salesman told me about that aspect so it was expected but it was a little 'hotter' than i expected

    This laptop has excellent performance packed into it. The only issue I had was finding a backpack to carry the laptop. I ended up having to order a backpack from Amazon since Best Buy doesn't carry one large enough.

    I am very pleased with this machine and am currently writing this review on it. The lighted keyboard is great and is very useful in the dark environments that I sometimes work in. The graphics are great and the system is very easy to use.

    I want to start off by saying I owned this laptop for less than 2 weeks and encountered several hardware issues. The laptop was perfect when it worked, though the speakers went out and the graphics card seemed to cause issues; it was a nice sleek gaming laptop. A bit on the heavy side, but very well designed.
