Pros: This is a great laptop, not perfect, but great. The laptop does exactly what it is advertised to do. Great specs, and so on. The design of the laptop looks great. It looks sleek, and overall will stand out from others. The laptop is surprisingly light, but it uses light materials which will lead to a con. It comes with a nice camera, and a good charger. Keyboard is very good, not to funky with how the keys are shaped. The symbols are funky, but will come out to be a pro as to how they are designed once you get used to them. This laptop knows no heat. I've put it through many tests and it will stay very cool. Great cooling system.

Cons: Like I said above, it is very light, which means it uses light materials. This laptop is VERY prone to breaking. Dropping even when in a case could be disastrous. I can literally bend the screen a little bit. A computer case is a must buy for this laptop.The touch-pad is really bad, so your going to need a wireless mouse. The computer can also freeze up a little bit when your playing some games, but rarely happens. the battery on this thing is TERRIBLE. When playing a game it will last for 45 minutes to an hour. When idling it will last for 3 hours. Your going to need to bring your charger everywhere.

These are all really little complaints, for otherwise everything works as advertised.

Other Thoughts: This is a great gaming laptop, but can be a hassle for gaming on the go. If you don't plan on being near a plug a lot or tend to drop things, shoot for another laptop. Otherwise this is a pretty good deal.

Another note: the laptop is pretty big, so get a big case.

Dear Valued Customer,

Pros: The package arrived quickly, so I guess that's something. Too bad the computer inside didn't work.

Cons: Fresh out of the box, the laptop couldn't even run a web browser without a bluescreen. A quick diagnostic confirmed that the computer had bad memory, something that should have been detected if the manufacturer had done even a basic hardware test. It took some convincing to get the manufacturer to accept the computer for repair, and they've now had it for two weeks - no correspondence to indicate the status of the repair, despite a request on my part. A friend has since told me that his desktop from the same manufacturer required constant repairs. Not a company I'd buy from again.

Pros: I am a programmer and gamer. Nice simple design, Like the red backlit keyboard, I was pleased to find I could video capture in Java at 35ms on average. Very good compared to average computers. Best part was customer support. I called two times this month for small things and they were outstanding. This company has it together. Well Done. Light and powerful. Love it.

Cons: The images on the keyboard were a little non-standard symbols and took a minute to get used to. After the learning curve though I like the style.

Other Thoughts: Well worth it. Have a great time. Hope this helps. I do multi-threading programming in Java and this works well for me.
