Pros:* Fast, high-performance processor* Multi-touch pad* Good, loud speakers (4x)* Full keyboard, easy to type* Large screen, great for editing/watching videos* HDMI, USB 3.0, Multi-card readerCons:* Mine came with a dead pixel; eventually went away* Large and heavy, but still somewhat portable* Battery life is dismal -- not even 2 hours* No dedicated "home" and "end" keys* Windows key positioned on the right (takes getting used to)Description:This is a superb sub $1,500 laptop. The video card (Nvidia GTX 660, 2GB) is better than the one in the 15" Macbook Pro w/Retina (Nvidia GT 650, 1GB) -- shame on you Apple -- and the processor is also amazing. The screen is also nice, but as other have pointed out, it's nothing special. Mine came with a dead pixel, which I was pretty upset about, but it eventually went away with the use of free software.I am able to edit videos without any problem using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and editing photos is also a breeze. Using Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and other programs for creating and publishing content also works very well. Frankly, this is a better buy over any Macbook.The design isn't something I was too excited about when looking at the pictures but in person it's actually not that bad. I prefer the sleek look of the Macbook Pros, but the price tag and increased performance this laptop gives me is worth more than its looks.Upgradeability is an important factor in this laptop. You can upgrade it from 8GB RAM to 16GB which I plan on doing, as well as adding a mSSD for caching purposes (for even faster performance) and, potentially, replacing the CD/DVD drive with a HDD bay. We'll see.Bottom line:Get this laptop if you want a large but powerful gaming/video editing laptop. Not for people who want ultra portability and long battery life.

The windows experience is as follows: cpu:7.9, Memory: 7.9 3D Graphics:6.9 Hard drive 5.9. I added a SSD windows experience is : 8.1 And 16 gig Ram: 8.1.This a incredible machine. Does not have a back-lit keyboard but the keyboard is very good. Reloaded and upgraded OS to Windows 8 pro since it comes with window 8. Very happy. Has slot for internal SSD also in addition to hard drive. Screen is good also.

PROS:screen; great colors and viewing anglessound; I installed zune because of my phone the THX driver is greatnoise level; only one fan but surprisingly it stays cool and the fan on "turbo" is audible but the speakers can easily overpower the noise otherwise its lower noise than similar laptops.gpu; NVidia GTX 660m it runs crisis 2 at ultra(tested without aa on)cpu; i7 nuf saidCONS:multitouch pad; is rocker style and stiff seems to be breaking in after a solid day thoughkeyboards not backlit (not really a con; just would be nice)no dedicated volume control; surprisingly a larger issue than I originally thought.. its fn+left/right or through softwarenotes:it came with a corrupted wifi driver and usb ports didn't work properly:the drivers disk it came with was also corrupted so I had to use a lifeline from my old laptop to get it working.once I got the bios and drivers updated and working it was fine and it runs fast. I tested crysis the game wanted "gamer" specs for some reasion but it ran at 60fps (as the overclock drivers should) on "Ultra" and it was barley warm after 1 hour of game time.(i had the fan Turbo on)worth mentioning:windows score sets the gpu score at 5.4, however this is just a bug in how windows defaults the GPU on the i7 instead of the dedicated Nvidia GTX 660m.supports 16gb ram upgrade and an empty mSATA bay(not to be confused with a SATA bay)
