Pros
Pro Comes with top-tier hardware
This laptop comes with the absolute top-tier hardware. Even the base model is more powerful than the vast majority of the laptops you can buy today and will allow you to play nearly every game in 4K.
Pro Has one of the largest arrays of ports on the market
This laptop offers one of the widest variety of connections seen on a laptop. It has an HDMI and two Mini DisplayPort connections, for multi-monitor set-ups. There are five high-speed USB 3.0 ports, two new USB-C ports and an SD card slot. It even has two LAN ports with the ability to control the priority of traffic between two networks. Finally, you can connect audio equipment through four audio jack ports that supports 7.1 audio output.
Pro Can be safely overclocked
The built-in speakers are large and very loud with a rich bass. Not only is it sufficient for most users, it’s also of better quality than the majority of built-in laptop speakers.
Pro Excellent performance for 4K games
4K games will run on medium or high settings with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX1070, the weakest graphics processor you can get in this laptop. If you want to run everything with the maximum settings, you have the option to install two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 cards that will run virtually any video game at max settings in 4K resolution.
Pro Good speakers
The built in speakers are very loud and crisp, easily filling a small room.
Cons
Con Not portable at all
The laptop isn’t built for those who need portability. A large portable bag and some muscle will be needed to carry it around. Weighing almost 5kg and being more than 4,5cm thick, it's one of the biggest laptops there is. Even the power adapter is twice as large comparing to a non-gamer laptops power adaptor and if you opt for a dual graphic card version, you will need two power adapters.
Con The build quality of the body is not as good as the price suggests
Other than the backplate of the lid, which is metal, the rest of the body is made of plastic, which is mostly fine for a budget laptop but for this price a material of higher quality would be expected.
Con Poor battery life
Battery life is also an issue, although gamer laptops usually are power hungry, this only works for approximately two hours without a power supply.
