it's been over 10 year since i purchased a laptop. I've been a heavy console user and since purchasing this laptop I'm a convert. Quality of games and ease of playing 3rd person shooters puts pc on a different level. The cost of games on steam and other pc platforms is unbelievable. I've purchased like 30 games in the past month because it's so affordable. Battery life is not great and there is a bit of noise when playing high quality games but overall i'm very happy with my purchase.**UPDATE**:After 1 year and 1 month this laptop will no longer switch on.  The laptop is now out of the warranty period and after contacting Acer support for assistance they informed me that the cost of repair would be $614. I am highly disappointed by this product and would caution anyone to think twice before buying this product. This experience has turned me off the Acer brand.
