Aftermarket cooling doubled my FPS, September 6, 2015 Awesome machine, would be nice if they would include an option to upgrade to the 980 since its more of a compatible 4k gpu. Nonetheless this is still an amazing machine with as much power as you can reasonably ask for out of a laptop. Many people are looking to buy these as desktop replacents and are getting completely blindsided by the overheating issues that plauge thin high performance laptops. I was a victim of this firsthand, its shocking when you fireup your game and within 30 minutes of playing your laptop is hot enough to easily fry an egg. This is not the thinnest laptop ever but it still suffers from all the same issues. I nearly returned my laptop but after many hours of researching aftermarket laptop cooling and multiple purchases I am completely satisfied and can play for hours on end (unlimited) without ever feeling like I'm putting my machine in harm way.

The temps are outstanding (CPU & GPU hovering around 72C with unigine heaven for a while). It is quite heavy though, but you get the best battery for 15" gaming laptops and a solid chassis. For my surprise the included 256GB SSD is a samsung PM951 (I expected an EVO 850) which is completely awesome, with seq reads of 1500MB/s and Random 4k RW of more than 50MB/s, this thing flies and it shows. The temps were a main concern for me, I work in IT and have seen my fair share of notebooks with bad thermal design which means a reflow, reballing or even a new motherboard is needed after a year or two (depends on the usage). With temperatures this cool I feel confident I won't have any kind of board soldering problems for quite a few years. I'l update if I find any problem in the furute, but at least for now this seems to be a great purchase. 0 Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful Super Computer!, October 23, 2015 Best laptop I have owned to date!
