This machine is amazing! Really fast, works very well for gaming as well as day-to-day tasks! Only downturn is the keyboard, it really stinks! REALLY, big time, if you are used to good keyboards, I would not recommend this computer. If you can move past that, then this laptop is for you. It doesn't bother me that much since I use a second screen with a USB-HUB for a mechanical keyboard, but could be annoying for some people.Besides that, I would also recommend upgrading the RAM to 16 gb minimum as well as getting a SSD to mount in this machine, it really bring a great machine to become fenomenal!
