I ordered this as my 2 year old vaio was really struggling with its on board gpu. I have to say this laptop far exceeds my expectations, the fan is also so much quieter than my last. It does get quite warm when be used at full, but remains cool when just doing basic tasks, like word processing/browsing/watching media. I would definitely recommend this product. The only downside I would say is the screen is not quite good enough to make the most from its graphic capability, black is not black enough. But this is not an issue in anything other than gaming as far as Ive noticed thus far. The price I got it on saveonlaptops was amazing, very happy with this buy.
