Pros: Just about everything I play is amazing. I can all my graphics maxed which is something I couldn't even do with my old desktop OR my last laptop which was fairly new but just couldn't take the hits graphic card wise. The keyboard is nice for night gaming especially being to change the color to make the letters easier to see. HD is amazing and although Windows 8 takes up a good amount of the SSD harddrive, the D drive has more tan enough space for all my games (which includes the sims 3+expansions a space/graphics eater) It also has a very nice set up for the fans and vents, your lap stays cool and so does the laptop!

Cons: My biggest issue with this laptop is windows 8, but that isn't so much the laptop's fault....just unfortunate that it only really had that option. Even then its just a pain to have to relearn how to navigate windows. It is also a bit on the heavy side, though it is a desktop replacement for now for me so as expected.

Overall Review: The only other issue is the touch pad. It has some tricks to it to help navigate Window 8, however it can be a bit of a hassle when the start bar keeps pulling out when trying to navigate. Solution use a mouse.
