This laptop is a beast. I literally haven't found a game in which I can't run at max settings and still get an amazing frame rate. This is all without activating the "Turbo" setting which automatically over-clocks everything on your laptop, and cranks up the fans to max speed to keep them cool.This laptop is very sturdily made, and the backlit keyboard is a great addition, although you can not change the colors in this model.Cooling System- The fans and the design do a great job at keeping this beast of a laptop cool, allowing amazing ventilation that blows out the back of the computer. They can get a little loud when running in the above mentioned "Turbo" mode.Screen- Great looking screen. I have no issues about the screen.---Con---I only have one bad thing to say about this laptop, this being it only has one hard-drive, and it's a measly 256 GB in size. Granted it is a Solid State Hard-Drive that is lightening fast, I do like more storage space, so I purchased a WD 1TB hard-drive to go into the empty additional hard-drive bay.Bottom Line- This is a great laptop, very fast, and reliable. If you're a gamer, or need to run any CPU/GPU intensive software this will not let you down. I highly recommend this beast of a machine.
