After my old notebook was broke, I decided due to the performance of this computer. I have it. Now since 2 weeks and can say that this is an excellent computer with high performance The graphics card provides rich colors and the brightness of the screen is so bright that you can also easily see what time outside in the sun. The screen is unexpectedly large for a 17-inch computer. The pre-installed Win 8 is easy to set up and is extremely user friendly. I had some concerns as yet because Win 8 but to be so complicated. This is nonsense! One thing to fault this computer. The button to open the CD drive is very small and you have already make a pointed finger to aufzubekommen the charge. Since I also have games installed on the computer, the performance for me was important. Again, there are no problems. The sound reproduction can be desired by default left. But even that is not a problem because you can adjust according to his wishes the sound later. All in all I can only recommend this notebook!
