I love this gaming laptop. It has just the power and performance I need for most AAA games on the market. However, it will get hot even with cooling systems in place. If you push the computer to the limits definitely make use of the Predator Sense software and increase your fan speed so your PC does not get too hot! Increasing the fan speed before you start playing can keep your PC at a standard average temperature. The only issue I had was that I have a wire rubbing against my GPU fan, which tempts me to open the computer on my own to secure the wire, but I'd rather not void my warranty by doing so when it hasn't had any effects on performance beside the occasionally annoying sound. I would 100% recommend this laptop for any gamer at its price. However, keep in mind that you may want to get an external HDD or add in another SSD because there is not too much space to hold current games.
