So far im really happy with this thing, it plays even the most graphic intensive games with no problem at all, and if I ever need the extra boost i just hit that convenient overclock button.I can also see this thicc boi lasting me through Trade School, the components seem to be really high quality and i doubt the super high power fans that keep this thing from burning itself out during game sessions will ever stop chugging, sure its loud but if you're a PC gamer at all you'll have some high quality surround sound headphones so that is a non issue.Basically i use this thing like a Desktop since its so big and the battery life so poor (two hours when not gaming) i dont see myself taking this with me anywhere besides my room, the only reason i got a gaming laptop rather than a desktop was because ill be moving soon and i needed something small and easy that wont have too many wires all over the place in my soon to be small apartment.Some guys out there who know more than me about computers will tell you to just get something cheaper or get a desktop, but i just saved up my money at my min wage job for 2 or so months to afford this bad boy and i DO NOT REGRET A THING and would wholeheartedly recommend it.However the one thing that sucks is the lack of storage space, but for that i just got a 1TB external hard drive for all my games and such.ALRIGHT GAMERS IM OFF TO PLAY THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION SEE YALL THERE
