I have never bought a gaming laptop before, did not know which one would be good and reliable but, after doing research and getting others opinion’s, I was told this laptop would fulfill my needs and that it did! For the most part, I only wanted it so that I could play Star Wars the old republic game (MMO) online and it has worked flawlessly. Its a great laptop and the battery life is good, when I am playing I have the Acer mouse hooked up and also, the laptop I stand has a built in fan that plugs into the the computer to keep the bottom from overheating. Very happy with purchase and hopefully if someone is pondering the same type of concerns and questions I had when looking to buy a gaming laptop, hopefully, that person (You)  will stumble on this review and it will help with their decision making.
