This is a monster of a gadget, the best gaming laptop I have ever purchased and an absolute workhorse in every way. The fans are loud whilst playing high def games and it does take a while to get used to and it is a very heavy laptop so not for every shoulder every day but from my point of view the best purchase I made in a very long time.
