GIGABYTE - 15.6" NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M - Intel Core i7-4810MQ - 8GB Memory - 128 GB SSD - Windows 8.1 - Gaming Laptop - IPS (P25Wv2-CF5 )

Pros: Lightning fast. Stunningly beautiful screen Cool looking minimilistic backlit keyboard Ran every game I threw at it(Shadow of Moror/Assassins Creed Black Flag) on ultra settings with 30+ FPS The yellow actually looks pretty awesome.

Cons: The NVIDIA GPU died on me. Are you kidding? I owned it for literally 3 days and one day while I was playing Shadow of Mordor, I see an artificat on the screen and bam, everythings not respodning and I can't even access the task manager. I restart the computer and now whenever I tried to boot any game with the NVIDIA GPU rather than the integrated Intel, the game would crash and I would receive an error saying that _______ graphics driver has stopped working. I did a fresh re-install of the drivers and still nothing. I back tracked to old drivers, reinstalled new ones, everything I could possibly think and the computer still refused to utilize the NVIDIA GPU. Then on a whim I started a game again and received a BSOD. The error, which I don't remember the specifics of, I found was a hardware related error after doing some googling. After that, I decided I was done with the laptop and returned it for a full refund. My money is well spent somewhere where the GPU doesn't die on me within 3 days IE MSI or Asus. If you decide to buy this laptop, do so at your own risk.
