    It's worked excellently, but I've had some issues with DPC latency that causes audio to crackle. I had to reinstall windows, which was very annoying, but that seemed to solve the problem. I also got it on a heavy discount (1500 off) and I wouldn't recommend this product for a normal price.

    Decent computer. Lovely display. So far it's been reliable. The keyboard is a little weird.

    Great Quality Laptop

    I have had a number of laptops over the years, but this is one of the best I have had. The Razer implementations of GeForce graphics technologies has been awesome. I remember the days when integrated graphics in the CPU and a dedicated chip would cause all kinds of headaches for users, and with this it seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur. Switching between Optimus and dedicated graphics on this model is not on-the-fly; you do need to reboot after each switch. And it does trip off BitLocker hardware change monitoring, so you will need a BitLocker recovery key if you utilize that. Why I would take a star off this one is two major points: the price tag and the battery. While Optimus helps, I would have hoped laptop battery tech would have gotten to a point where you could switch over to a lower power hardware configuration and have all day power to the device (if not the full horsepower). And that the lack of battery run time comes at a $4k price tag for just 3 hours of battery time (if you are lucky) is a little annoying. Hopefully on next generations of the laptop this can be remediated.
