The exterior has an odd design, reminds me of the Linksys routers (feels like it too) with the middle part being aluminum or some sort of metal, surrounded by a soft durable material (almost feels like suede). Pros: Aesthetics - As soon as you open the box and take it out, it's marvel to look at. after some minor tweeting it'll be the perfect machine.

I managed to download a shell that gets the old start menu back though so overall I am very happy with it now. Its also my very first windows 8 machine which I have to say I don't like. I'd been running Linux and wine for games for a while which can be a pain. Overall Review: This is my first windows machine in quite some time. Being as this thing doesn't need over clocking it's not enough to lose a star but I figured it should be mentioned as I was surprised. All I have is boot options and passwords on a gaming machine. I also expected the bios would be a little more modern than an asci set up as well as would have a lot more control. I had expected that the 2 1tb drives would be in some sort of raid array but they are just two separate drives. Highest Temps I've seen are 40° and im not going easy on it.Ĭons: The few things I did find wrong with it are minor: The specs on it are insane for the price. This thing will play anything I can throw at it for hours on end and doesn't heat up. Also, forget about gaming on battery power for more than 30 to 40 minutes! I would highly recommend this laptop to anyone considering it! Very good purchase. I was also surprised to discover the display runs at 75Hz, which to me is noticeably more responsive than my desktop display at 60 Hz. This is pretty much the ONLY laptop that fits that description. I wanted something fast, cool & quiet, with IPS display. They keyboard issues are not that big of a deal, and can be modified with a simple hack.

I am fine with the bulk and weight since I am not planning to carry it around very often. Overall Review: Overall, I love this laptop. They must have had to make some compromises in the display design to make it so thin and responsive.

I didn't know IPS panels could have bad viewing angles. While colors, contrast and response time of the IPS display are very good, the viewing angles are bad. The shadow play button is annoying too, and can be modified with a similar hack. This can be fixed fairly easily with a simple hack. I love the rubberized texture and aluminum hinge.Ĭons: As others have noted, the Steam button launches Steam in Big Picture mode (completely useless). Keyboard feels pretty solid, backlight is nice. Keyboard stays totally cool during gaming! Tons of storage (comes with two separate 1TB HDDs) you can hear the fans, but is very quiet especially for a laptop). IPS display was a top selling point for me. Pros: - So fast! GTX 970m is amazing! Also has way more RAM than I'll ever use.
