I'll be keeping this laptop for awhile
Pros: Able to play a large amount of games thanks to the nice Graphics Card in it. Ram is can be Upgraded up to 8 GB. Great 17" Display. Stays cool very well. Price to boot was also very good for the laptop.
Cons: Windows 8 (In my opinion one of the most horrid OS Microsoft could of made.) I couldn't also get my Windows 7 Disc to go through on the boot menu so trying to get another OS on it can be challanging for the people who don't have much intellect with that sort of thing... (Like Myself. A decent solution is to use Start8 which changes the UI of Windows 8 to look like Windows 7.) I don't know if it was because I was downloading things in the background that my speakers made scratchy noises while playing so i'll have to look into that a bit. It is a Major fingerprint magnet like people say. Trackpad isn't that best but it's just something I have to adjust to.
Overall Review: Overall I am extremely satisfied as a PC gamer that I can finally take a lot of my steam games on the go now that run with almost no flaws. The big killer for me is Windows 8 though as there's not much I can do about that for the time being but a passable solution is to use the Start8 program so I can at least SEE Windows 7 without looking at Windows 8.
