Finally bit the bullet and got this for my tween son.  He's loved online gaming for years, but never had a PC/laptop that could perform well enough to satisfy him.  He was elated to receive this for Christmas and has been using it non-stop for online school and online gaming.  I'm impressed with this little beast's performance.  Cooling is also phenomenal.  I can feel the fans 6' away when we game together, and it definitely keeps the components well within comfortable operating temperatures.
