I bought this laptop for my girlfriend who uses it for multiple purposes. She's a gamer, a freelance graphic designer for business, and a security supervisor for a large medical center. She's able to use it for all of these things and it's perfect. Other computers she's had just couldn't keep up, but this one is with her step for step and exceeded expectations.

I own the dual Nvidia GT750M model. The primary reason I didnt max out the 5 star rating is because of the physical aspects of the machine. PHYSICAL While being a beautiful thing to look at, the dark aluminum brushed-metal finish is a fingerprint magnet. If you lightly drop plastic objects upon it like a cell phone or allow the ends of your power cord to tap the body on the logo side, be prepared to accept the dramatic scuffs and scratches that other plastic based machines are able to hide more effectively. Avoiding pressure from neighboring objects in your bag like pens, books etc (even while in separate compartments) would be wise because the body acts like sheet metal and prone to denting if you're not mindful of its placement. When light hits these at the right angle, they "jump out at you." GAMING Gaming is not a disappointment - for MY model. Example: Crysis 3 at 1920x1080 resolution, ALL settings on High, AA and AF on low-Med. - around 43fps about 90% of the time. The dips to 35fps were experienced in rain and multi explosion situations. For most eyes, these rates are liquid smooth. This implies a satisfying playability with other titles like the new Battlefield series or even older popular ones like World of Warcraft, Asassins Creed, Rome 2 Total War, and Skyrim (even with some modding). HEAT/POWER/SCREEN The PC runs cooler than most gaming laptops through normal computing and the side vents help keep the heat off your lap. While gaming the secondary card (if you own Dual GT750or755) is automatically kicked "on" and this is where the heat factor will spike, but not to dangerous levels. While gamning heavily, you'd want to keep yourself plugged in to a power source to ensure optimal performance. If running on battery, the system may not let you run off Dual cards (there's a way to unlock this power restriction in the Nvidia control panel)... and power will last 2-3hrs maybe. Its color production is very good I'd say 9/10, and paired with its ability to hit impressively high in brightness, the 1080p display is a vibrant winner for gaming and movie watching. PAD/Keyboard The touchpad can be bothersome sometimes because of high sensitivity, and on occasion, click things you clearly did not click, BUT as a gaming laptop why would you not already be using a mouse??? - so this shouldnt be a bother. If you do find yourself using the pad, you'll be happy to know it is a nice large size and has many navigational features depending on how you swipe across it and with how many fingers you use for the action. It at least almost feels like navigating a smartphone when used with crappy Windows 8. The keys feel good to type on and are very responsive. The backlit red LED on the keys has 3 levels (low, bright, off). PORTS LEFT SIDE [from front to back] - 2 USB 3.0, 1 HDMI, 1 Network (internet hardline), 1 VGA 15-pin(for external monitor), power. RIGHT SIDE [from front to back] - headphone jack, microphone jack, 1 USB2.0 (always "on" for cellphone/iPod charging) and the Ultrabay The Ultrabay is an expansion slot that fits a DVD drive, Blu-Ray drive, or extra graphics card. It can be modified however you want. For example, my model comes with two graphics cards and my sacrifice is I am without a CD drive. BUT I can remove my secondary card from the ultrabay and replace it with a Blu-Ray drive I bought separately. SOUND JBL speakers are a LOUD vibrant music experience, more so than most in its class. Headphones still recommended.Read full review
