Question 1

Does it have a ethernet port?

Accepted Answer

Yes with the smoking "killer gaming" network card.  You will only be limited by your service speed.

Question 2

How long does the battery last on average usage?

Accepted Answer

Depends what you are doing.  Standard internet browsing maybe 4-5 hours. Gaming maybe 1-2.

Question 3

Does the fan system provide adequate cooling or does the computer "burn" your hand when you touch it for 10-20 seconds?

Is the SSD drive the boot drive?

Do you get the Windows OS on a disc so you can reinstall if you decide to upgrade the SSD in the future?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, Only saw the first question.  It does not come with an Windows OS disc, but you can create recovery DVD's (5).  The System prompts you to create a backup via several  means.

Question 4

What comes with this when you buy it? I heard their might be a backpack.

Accepted Answer

Yep, you get a backpack, a wrist rest, set of gold WASD key's and a custom mouse pad. Awesome product, awesome setup.

Question 5

I'm thinking about buying this, is it really 8GB DDR5 from the 2 gpu's running SLI? I thought that SLI cards don't stack vram? So it would only be 4gb DDR5?

Accepted Answer

it's 8.

Question 6

1. Has it an empty bay for second graphics card?
2. Has it 5 usb3 ports?
3. When will it be available with Windows 10 installed?
4. Has it a touch screen?
5. Has it an on mother board Intel graphics system alternate to the graphics card?
6. Is the hard drive 7200 RPM?
7. What are the read and write times of the SSD drive?
8. Is it available with a DVD multidrive instead of blue-ray?

Accepted Answer

1.  It has SLI which means it has 2 4GB Geforce GTX 965M video cards
2. Yes
3. You can manually download it now.
4. No.
5. Yes, you can switch between the onboard and dedicated to conserve battery
6. Yes
7. Haven't looked
8. I doubt it, Blu-ray allows you to use blu-ray and DVD.

Question 7

Is this laptop eligible for the Windows 10 upgrade?

Accepted Answer

Yes, any windows 7/8 PCs are available for the upgrade.

Question 8

Hi, I am interested in buying this laptop. I want to see if its compatible with a distribution of linux. If it is not can i return it? Windows will have been removed at that point.

Accepted Answer

From what i am reading, SLI is (for lack of a better term) nearly useless in Linux.  This means the 2nd GPU will be completely unused if you wipe windows and install Linux.  If you want a Linux Gaming Laptop, there would be much better choices....

But that note aside, any popular linux distro should install just fine once you play witht he BIOS to turn off any fastboot options.
