The screen is beatiful and the performance with it’s 6 cores is stellar. It will still produce a whine under load but remains relatively cool. Overall it delivers what it promises. The only thing disappointing is the keyboard chatter/double pressing, which Gigabyte still hasn’t eliminated, and is quite annoying. Also, the power adaptor is quite huge for a portable; so if you’re not keen at lugging it around, you may have to leave it when not gaming-at least the huge battery should last you several hours on non-gaming productivity.

Best bang for the buck. Worth Every penny. This is the new and updated version. Highly Recommended. It has an upgraded screen (Nice) and trackpad. No more backlit keyboard I could live with.
