Ok, so I bought this computer last week and was pretty excited. Let it be known that I have never owned a gaming computer before and was definitely expecting a bit more. I LOVED everything about this laptop at first. On day 1,I downloaded just cause 4 and it played perfectly without issue. Day two, I downloaded separately-halo 2, halo wars 2, dirt 5 and not a single one of them worked. They launch, and after playing for a few mins they all crash. The laptop itself is getting hot enough to "smell"and it crashes. With the graphics card it has on board ,and the eight core processor, it should be able to handle those games easily. I have lowered my resolution settings, disabled every background app, ran only the game and nothing else,updated the drivers, connected it to an external screen -that did help a bit- but ultimately every option failed and it still crashes. I even factory reset once. This is meant to be a gaming laptop so I assume it's set up to do just that. My thought is that I got a faulty device, and I don't believe this is common. Either way, due to my immediate issues with this laptop,my review is that it has wasted a couple of days of my life that I'll never get back. Returning today. Hope no one else has these problems, with the specs of the computer being what they are. It has the potential to be a good laptop, unfortunately I think mines just broken.
