Pros: 8GB DDR3 1600, A10 Hybrid Crossfire with HD8670M, Runs smooth, was able to run all my games at High or lower most games have played at 50fps or higher, Games include Borderlands 2, Battlefield 3/4, Diablo 3, Minecraft, Sanctum 2, Rust, SWTOR, LOTRO, WOW, EVE, Tomb Raider(newest), DOTA, LOL, Darksiders II, and more... so far has been amazing, im going to school for my Bach in Project Management and even with my gaming this system will run it all so far. This laptop is really light, has a nice bright screen when turned up all the way.

Cons: Not to much to change in Bios, i would like to be able to add more Memory to the APU's GPU. Not able to easly get to the ram or hard drive without taking whole bottem off. Updating to W8.1 had to reinstall drivers and edit a few Registry files to get them to work like they did in windows 8. battery life is left to be desired, but if set to power saving iv gotten almost 4 hours when screen is turned all the way down and just web browsing.

Overall Review: possibly overclock the Ram a bit or upgrade it to a faster ram to attempt to get better video performance, Secondary Hard drive bay to install an SSD and HDD would be nice to improve performance. adding some more USB ports would be nice, but overall this laptop is amazing for the price though, i never though i could find a laptop like this (got this one on sale here for 650)

Pros: Allowed me to add all the ports i needed to add, fitment in my case was easy as long as i had a USB in it to line it up in the middle between each cut-out

Cons: didnt like my x4 slot so it populates my bottem x16 slot however after getting it installed and used it for about 2 weeks it now no longer works at all, i have attempted to reseat it and make sure everything was plugged in but it just wont show up in windows nor will it show in bios

Pros: Overclocks very well like a champ really, core clock at 2126MHz at the highest i have pushed it currently staying at around 50C under load for over 3 hours, have not tryed to push further at all yet.

Cons: Cost mainly and needing to have room for another AIO Water Cooler, however cost comes at the price of wanting to be ontop of everything new, even if not going for top teir. the tube for the cooler are tacky and not very nice looking though i never look into my system as i dont have a window.
