I really enjoy this laptop, I think it runs fast, has a lot of storage for what I need, and gets the job done. Definitely not a gaming computer by any means, even small games make this thing turn into a furnace. Just load up minecraft and you have the worlds hottest heating pad, works great for cramps! An external fan seems to work as well as keeping the laptop elevated at an angle so the vents on the bottom have airflow. Great laptop for the price.
