What People Say

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice computer. Wrong resolution on description

I love the new computer. I has everything I need. I just wanted to let people know that this model is actually the 8100x and it has a resolution of 1680 x 945 not the advertised (at this time) 1920 x 1080. Amazon did offer me a 10% discount on the product because of this so I am happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great LAPTOP

By 

Armamazon 

This is an awesome laptop. It is really fast and does not get hot as HP powerhouse laptops do. You can play almost all the games on it with no problems. The screen is just gorgeous !! love it !!I own this laptop from another company first off. So I cannot speak for shipping quality. But this is beyond the best laptop I have had.

Pro's
-Nice and sturdy
-Huge screen
-Hard drive reseats itself when you tilt it (For protection against damage to the hard-drive)
-Grade A speakers
-Sleek look
-Not too many technical problems.
-Sick graphics and smooth gaming.

Cons
-This baby is a bit on the heavy side. But You can't comprimise the security for weight.
-The outer coating of the laptop is high gloss so you will have to clean it a good amount. (Mess just shows more on it)


Overall, I have had this laptop for about a year and a half now. Never had a problem with it.
I would strongly recommend this to anyone who likes GAMING and graphic using software
