Pros: Beautiful case Relatively light for a 15" laptop with a 4K glass screen

Cons: poor lighted keyboard flimsy lid extrememly slow 3D rendering

Overall Review: I bought this laptop for Autocad rendering because I wanted something super fast. First off, DO NOT buy this machine (or any other 4K laptop) if you are looking for a fast laptop for rendering. The 4K screen may be good for gaming, etc., but it took almost 3 times as long to render as my 3 year old ASUS laptop. The more pixels,the more rendering time needed. I also wanted a touch screen, but the glass screen was so reflective that I just couldn't take it. All I could see was my reflection and I just don't love it enough to stare at it all day! The keyboard was disappointing. The light leak from around the lighted keys was so strong, it messed with the contrast on the keys so I found that I had to just disable it. I researched laptops for months (to my families annoyance) and was so disappointed when I received it that I returned it within one week. Just had to cut my losses while I still could.
