Specs

Memory: 8 GB of RAM
Storage: 1 TB SATA plus 128 GB SSD
Screen: 17.3 Inches

Benefits
– For those that find a standard 15.6 inch display is just not good enough for a great gaming experience will love the fact this model has a large 17.3 inch HD screen
– The powerful Intel Core i7 processor is what you will find powering this device and it has plenty of power to handle just about any task you want it to accomplish
– With both a large SATA and fast performing SSD included you will find plenty of storage space on this device
– The graphics card includes 4 GB of dedicated memory which is enough for a good gaming experience on modern games
Downsides
– Once you put a large 17.3 inch display on a laptop you quickly make it big and bulky and this model is on exception. It weighs 2.7 KG so it is not the most mobile friendly of devices
– A gaming laptop with only 8 GB of memory is surprising and when it comes to performance this is probably the single biggest issue with this model
– The days of expecting an optical drive to be included in your laptop are gone and like most new models it is not included here
