My top 10 favorite things about this notebook :

  1. It's way faster than my ancient MacBook Pro (I mean seriously, the only game that my MBP can easily handle is Garry's Mod :-(  )
  2. Lots of ports
  3. Freaking signed by some the best guys ever on YouTube !
  4. IPS 1080p screen so the 850M can handle it and not be hogged by a higher res LCD
  5. Great price/performance ratio
  6. Decent thickness (not a brick sized lump of metal)
  7. Decent GPU for the money, although I find it so funny that this is the same kind that Apple puts in their highest end 15" Retina MacBook Pro for $1500 more and calls it the best they can do !
  8. Minimal bloatware, although none would have been better.
  9. Really nice CPU for the money, speaking as a content producer
  10. It's well rounded laptop !

Apple Pippin 2.0 (Corsair Gaming Hackintosh) :

  • Intel Core i5 3570K with CM Hyper 212 Evo Cooler (Push-pull with Corsair AF120 and SP120)
  • 24 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
  • MSI GeForce GTX 670 Power Edition
  • Intel 330 Series 120 GB SSD (Mac OS X)
  • Samsung 840 Evo 120 GB SSD (Windows 7)
  • OWC Mercury Electra 3G 30 GB SSD (Scratch Disk)
  • 1.8 TB of HDD Storage
  • Corsair 600T White case
  • Corsair K60 Keyboard
  • Corsair M65 Mouse
  • Corsair GS800 PSU

My favorite part about it is the monitor's matte finish. I hate glass covered monitors, there's always too much glare.

I really liked the speakers on the G550JK. They even included that subwoofer to make things even better. :)
