I wanted an upgrade from my previous gaming laptop so I searched the internet far and wide to find a cheap but efficient laptop and boy was I lucky. Do not let that fact that its thin fool you because it can pack a punch when using the gtx, You are also able to change between modes like Performance mode or silent mode for gaming or browsing the internet. The battery is definitely better than what I expected, again depending on your use but it really is good as far as gaming laptops go. I would say my only con is that it doesnt have the full size keyboard. Other than that I really am happy with this purchase. Thank you PBTech.
