Pros: It worked semi-nicely before it broke, even though I had a bunch of issues with drivers and maya. That wasn't entirely the laptop's fault though

Cons: It broke in less than six months. Actually to be more precise, the hdd died completely. To be fair, it fell about 1.5 feet. The hdd died almost instantly. It was infuriating, to say the least. I've owned a few laptops and they've never broken this easily. It could just be bad luck, but it's not the only problem I had with this thing. I couldn't turn off the optimus feature because that's impossible with how this laptop was built. The screen was awful, but considering how it's a laptop, I shouldn't have been that surprised. It's supposed to be a gaming laptop though, so you'd think they'd have made it a little bit better.

Overall Review: The best thing I can hope from this laptop at this point is a refund. It's been a considerate waste of time and money.
