To be fair, if i needed to buy a laptop right now, my first buy gonna be that machine. As engineer, i need a fast notebook, and i like to game aswell. This laptop is perfect for engineering students for sure, my old notebook is an acer and still works as fine . 5742G 8 years old , i have a newer lenovo, but if i game at travel i use my acer for that still 30 fps rock-enroll Kappa
