As a Windows game machine, it is good. If you are a developer of Linux software, it is unusable. Lots of Microsoft based hardware in this laptop makes getting Linux up and running a nightmare.
The hardware specs are nice, but you can not easily access the hardware to swap out parts. For me, this was a waste of time and money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Purchased this laptop a few days ago to replace a 2 brand new Alienware I had issues with,
The good..
1. Great Specs for the price point.
2. 4k screen looks great.
3. Fast and responsive.
4. Their customer support system is amazing and despite a small tech glitch when I took receipt of the laptop they had me going right away. Their tech team is US based (Hey DELL take note!) and they were very polite, concise and very easy to understand. I have called them a couple times and each time any questions i had were resolved right away.
OK now for the bad...
1. The recovery media they give you with this laptop is a Disc.... it is all inclusive for the system BUT only problem is this laptop does not have a Optical drive.
2. The laptop is a lil bit of a pain to do upgrades, I am actually in contact with them right now to find out if possible to add additional ram and a m2 drive.
3. I dont know why but the Track pad is a bit of a pain to use. Its someting i can get over but many people may not.
4. The battery like many other laptops now is internal which can be a pain for some of the On the Go types.
So overall a great laptop for a great price. Even though it does have its faults they are not so bad as to take away from the overall system.
I would recommend this to a friend

Way Better than MSI Ghost Pro

I wanted to buy a MSI Ghost Pro 4K. But they were sold out on bestbuy. This Laptop is just the Corbin copy of Ghost Pro.
Advantages:
1. CPU is amazingly Fast
2. GPU GTX 970 6GB is up to do anything (Gaming or Graphics)
3. Slim and light. Not a 10lb giant.
4. 4K screen so great. Best to hook with a 4K TV.
Disadvantages:
1. Trackpad is little annoying. But I use a Mouse.
2. Battery only last less than 45 minutes on high performance as hardware inside is hardcore.
