This laptop is amazing. It's so much more hardcore than any other laptop I've ever seen. It's so big and overpowered that you can't really call it a laptop so much as a portable gaming computer. It's got incredible graphics, a fully lit full size keyboard (no tiny arrow keys), an incredibly clear screen with no dead pixels, and the power under the proverbial hood is astounding. Highly recommend this if you're looking for a gaming computer that doesn't take up as much space as a tower. And I also recommend getting the 32GB of RAM for the extra couple of hundred (as opposed to the 16GB version) – you won't regret it.
