Pros: It's a highend gaming desktop in laptop form. Fast. Good display. Steel-series keyboard. Great audio. Very quiet at idle.

Cons: Product specification is 2x256 GB SSD. The unit I received has 4x128 GB. I scrutinize specs before I buy hardware and so I expect to receive exactly what I order, not something close, so -1 egg for that. Windows 8.1, Windows 7 will not install after several attempts so I am stuck with it until 10 comes out. Touchpad meh, granted I feel that way about touchpads in general, being as my mouse is still tied up until I transfer all my junk from my desktop I have been suffering with the touchpad.

Overall Review: It's big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is.Ok...maybe not that big. The Titan is bigger still, but this is only 1 lb less.I bought this as a desktop replacement that is a little more portable. You are not going to use this on a plane unless you are sitting in first class. Fans at full throttle are LOUD. About 40 db. To be expected so not counting it as a con, but it is something to be aware of. These are my initial thoughts as I just received it yesterday. Have not had time to game yet so will do a more thorough review later.
