Overall Review: In my opinion, PROS Size - It's a little hard for me to not like its size seeing as I went from an Alienware Mx17R2. The size of this laptop is perfect if you are OK with a 15.6" display, it seems to fit in just about all the practical areas and just generally looks good on a desk. Keyboard - The tactical feedback is perfect, wrist rest comfortably on the laptop. The "Spacebar" is a tad small. Screen - Gorgeous, there is some bleeding when the screen is emitting light while blacked. Other than that I have not noticed anything else. I do wish the frame was a bit thinner though. Speed - It's pretty F*#&ing fast. Though that can be achieved with some laptops depending on the users knowledge and financial situation. Display - The 3k display is beautiful, colors are quite vivid and I didn't need to make much adjustments to get images or graphics to my liking. (I just increased the saturation a little and was very pleased) Graphics - All of the games I have run so far have been maxed out except for Crysis 3 and DayZ ( at least not with 3K) other games include, Crysis, Arma 3 (Not at 3K), Dark Souls 1 &2, Tomb Raider, Dead Space, BF4, The Witcher 2, State of Decay, Skyrim. There is more I belive but I haven't had any time to run them. Nvidia GeForce recommends lower setting on certain games but I only experienced a loss of roughly 5-8 FPS when maxing them out; and they were still over all high. Weight - Again I had a alienware I lugged around through Europe and the Middle East so this is a no brainer in my case. I do think most customers will appreciate its weight. Simple - The design is beautiful I love the fact that nothing about it screams (Hey look at my expensive gaming computer!) in public places people walk right by it without glancing or asking me about it and I appreciate it. CONS Display - I may be ignorant on this subject but I have searched around for a better solution to no avail. The 3K is great but unfortunately it leaves text very small. I have tweaked the setting to make text bigger but I really don't like the results (The menu bars in applications stay the same size but the text everywhere else is larger, so certain items within menus are still small) I feel like it hinders the uniformity of information being displayed. If anyone has a solution for it I would love the help. Plug ins - The AC plug in is on the left side towards the rear. When you have that plugged in and a USB it just looks tacky, I don't see why they didn't integrate a way to have the plug in hidden in the back of unit. I have a Kensington lock attached currently, and with the one I purchased, it doesn't agree with the AC plug in, I have to aim the unlocking button down just to get it to sit comfortable. 3 USBs - Four, Four seems like it should be a standard. Video* - This could be just me. While playing videos (gaming sometimes) I have stutters happening every 30 - 40 seconds. All movies are on the HDD and they are just
