Pros: Extremely powerful laptop for only $669.00. I was looking for a laptop that could handle some gaming and this has worked perfectly since I received it a couple of hours ago. I've been playing Ghost Recon Online and my last laptop, an Asus had issue with long load times and choppy graphics. This laptop does an excellent job switching from the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics to the dedicated Nvidea GT 720M when it's needed. Very quiet laptop and doesn't seem to get hot under load. Absolutely glad that I researched this and bought it.

Cons: The only con is my own understanding of getting around Windows 8. The system itself is AWESOME!!!!
