  This laptop is an absolute beast!!!!I am running Planetside2 on Ultra AND I turned on EVERYTHING...smoothing, fog shadows, ambient occlusion, bloom enabled, even motion blur!!! Zero lag 60+fps!!!I am not kidding!!! The screen is absolutely stunning! The 256gb solid state is super fast. There are zero moving parts inside this laptop!!! Windows 10 is running from the SSD so basically even web browsing is like 10 times faster than normal.You will be super proud as I am to own one of these. The fire in Planetside2 is so bright that I literally jumped back! The screen is so amazing!Anyway, as of October 8 when I purchased this on Amazon it is a brand spanking new model. Did I mention it even has a 6 core i7 intel processor??!!Buy this beast and experience games in Ultra like never before!!! I promise!!!

• Will require more parts to be gaming ready for some games. Very good for development in C++.

  My intent for this laptop was to replace an aging desktop. I didn't want to sink money into an old desktop anymore. This has been a good replacement. I am using this for C++ development (wanted the 8750 for fast parallel compilation). I am also using it for games.I play modded minecraft, but this laptop cannot run a recent large modded minecraft pack as it just doesn't have enough ram out of the box. I intend to add another 16GB to help with this.This computer does run Space Engineers very well at 1920x1080 on high settings for most settings. I noticed a delay when running at 3840x2160 and some screen tearing. This is on a 43" HDMI TV at 30Hz update rate. I hardly use the laptops screen at all.For compiling program and development this is great. It compiles very fast and does parallel compilation very well. This is one of the main reasons why I got it. My desktop had 8 cores and I didn't want a downgrade. Having 12 cores logical is very nice (6x2 because of hyperthreading).The size of the harddrive is a little low as the SSD is only 256GB. I do intend to upgrade to a 1TB PCIe drive soon (M.2?). I tested the SSD and it operates at 500GB per second for read/write. I used Crystal Disk Mark 6.0.2 for this test. The PCIe I am planning to get has a 2GB read/write and that is part of the reason for the upgrade.I do plan on adding a 16GB ram chip as I stated before I want to run fully modded minecraft and other memory hog apps as well.I knew the drive and memory were on the low side, but getting larger sizes of these in a laptop from the manufacturer pushed me into the 1100 to 1200 dollar range on price. I can upgrade myself for a better price. At the time I bought this it was $799 which was a great deal. Thank you for that.Picture quality on the laptop screen and external screen is very good. I also use this with a dvd usb player and GOT looks great.I am giving a 5 star rating because I have not run into anything I didn't expect when buying this. I knew what it had in it, what it could do, and it is doing as expected. I did NOT expect it to run Space Engineers at 3840x2160 at all, yet it did. So the graphics card is not bad at all. I don't recommend that setting as it tears a bit and is noticeably delayed on response.I have seen some comments in here on what this has in it that were not correct. This laptop has an SSD and it is reported as such by the benchmarking programs.I have not given a specific rating for the battery life. I have not used it as a portable very much.

• Nice performance Laptop at a Great Price

  We use this laptop primarily for Internet, videos, and Gaming. The screen is responsive, clear, bright, and with great colors. The speakers and sound quality are particularly good. We also like the look and material finish of the laptop. The built in mouse pad is particularly quick and responsive. We would buy a second one, and I can definitely recommend it.
