Other Opinion

By Caleb J. Blankemeyer "Caleb" (Suwanee, GA USA)

I got this to replace my desktop that I just sold as I'll be needing a more portable solution for classes.

Upon arrival and initially removing it from the box I noticed that the back plate was improperly fitted. You heard me, there are 3 prongs that hold it in place. 2 of them weren't in their respective location and it was just hanging. I had to unscrew it, remove it, and put it back on for it to function normally. Yeah, that's a pretty bad scare for a "new" product. I highly doubt the product I received was new like advertised. There are scuff marks at some locations(by the webcam for one).

As for the pros and cons, here they are.

Pros:
- Affordable
- Best Bang for your Buck
- Sleek and Stylish

Cons:
- Heating Issues(where I rest my right palm it gets to near scalding and where I place my hand for moving the mouse the exhaust is poorly placed and pumps hot air on my hand)
- Bad Screen (colors are to whited out and bright!)
- Weird Touchpad, no hardware disable button.
- Speakers aren't worth anything

Conclusion:
If you're looking for an affordable laptop for gaming consider another brand. The 670m in this one isn't worth the tradeoff for getting a high quality product.
