I have never had a gaming laptop, but this is extremely fast. I do a lot of data analysis and this is easily twice as fast as my previous laptop. I also play some games and this laptop handles them well. I even notice a major improvement while using something as simple as microsoft word. This is a great laptop and for the $1200 it cost me, it seems worth it so far. I will update if there are ANY problems.

I am truly impressed with this gaming laptop... it seems to be well built, but a bit heavy, although that was expected.

Great for the money.

It is my first laptop I ever purchased and I am impressed. I do music recordings and play videogames and all works well.

Bought one and 4 days after receiving it, it looked like first 2 pics upon booting. Replaced it and the last 2 pics are what the replacement looked like after a few days as well. It would not happen every time, but it would have that white line around the edge for maybe 30 min and would fade back to normal. More recently, the replacement wont turn on immediately after hitting power button. The screen stays black and no response for 15 minutes or so. I wanted to give it one more chance, because I havent read about this happening to anyone else and I received these two laptops right before Amazon went out of stock, so I thought maybe I just got bad ones at the end but, unfortunately, Amazon can only provide a refund and are still out of stock.

great

Needs to be plugged in to run any game with decent quality. Once it is plugged in, the laptop usually will overheat and shut down and restart. This problem even persists WITH the use of external fans. Unfortunately it is impossible to play anything without your device being plugged in or it will drain the battery completely in less than an hour. I was really excited for this laptop and apparently even my 1 year warranty cannot help me out with this issue. The sad truth is to enjoy anything fun you need to waste your money on problems that shouldnt exist in my opinion. It was a good laptop for a little under a year though. What prompted my review is it overheating on me 3 times within a span of 40 minutes. Im very disappointed in myself for not researching further before choosing this device.

For gaming

This is a well built Laptop and looks good, as advertised. Very pleased. No problems setting it up. I would recommend to a friend.

youre going to have to do some messing around with the wifi drivers. be careful, you can screw yourself over if you dont do it right. so I recommend doing a lot of research and making sure you know how it works or going to a professional to help.
