Extremely fast, but keyboard will make you cry.
Pros: The laptop is extremely fast, I purchased it for a gaming laptop. Even though the processor is 2 years old it is still much faster than most of the newer processors on laptops in the $1000 range. The graphics card is the cheapest GTX possible but is a better card than most of the newer GT models. I bought this computer to run Diablo 3 and it runs it great on highest settings. The HDD is large but personally I would rather have a HDD 1/4 the size that is SSD.
Cons: The keyboard is terrible. the shift and enter keys are half-sized and there is 2 additional keys. Im not sure if this keyboard is for another language besides english but it is very akward, I will never hit shift or enter the first time. Also Windows 8 is the worst operating system I have used, it is not user friendly at all. After about 30 minutes of trying to even get to the control panel, I almost pulled out my Win7 CD. Unfortunately the computer did not come with a driver disk or I probably would have reformatted with Win7.
First headset disconnected often, second disconnects as well
Pros: Great sound, very comfortable.
Cons: The headset disconnects every 10-20 minutes for 4-5 seconds. This happened to my first set, I contacted Logitech and they replaced the headset with another. My second headset disconnects just as often as the first. I tried multiple computers, with the Logitech software and without with no change. What is even worse is that people that I talk to on Skype and Teamspeak says my Mic makes a loud popping noise, people don't even like talking to me anymore. I am about to submit another RMA to try a 3rd headset out, maybe I will get lucky with this one.
BSOD after 7 months
Pros: Very fast, like extremely fast. I never thought a SSD could make such a difference.
Cons: Crapped out after 7 months, BSOD every time I boot, I unplug the drive and boot from old hard drive and it works fine.
Need to RMA
Pros: Great sound quality for the speakers and the mic
Cons: The bass is too loud and rattles the headphones with the bass button both on and off. The volume button is in a bad location every time you set them down the button gets moved and when the volume is too low it makes this awful reverb noise and everyone that I am talking to yells and me and tells me my mic is making terrible noise. Talked to Azio to see if this was a known issue, they weren't helpful and told me to contact Newegg for a RMA.
Randomly locks up
Pros: Looks cool, works well when it works.
Cons: Randomly locks up and you cant move the mouse for like 10 seconds every few minutes. Causes me to die in Diablo 3...
