Nice package with a drawback
This is a competent midsize notebook for people who want a bit of everything. The intel CPU can handle virtually anything you throw at it - productivity, HD videos, etc. The graphics chip is also decent for casual gaming at the native resolution. You might not achieve high quality graphics in cutting edge games, but you can still play and enjoy them with medium settings. However, I ran into various overheating issues with this laptop. When the temperature was too high the CPU throttled down. This caused anything I was doing to momentarily stutter and freeze a few times. I'm not sure if I received a bad notebook, or if there's something wrong with the fan, but it just doesn't manage heat dissipation as well as I'd like. I'd give it a 4 for specs but have to take off a point for the occasional overheating issues.
