Really enjoyed the review of the laptop, especially the followup. Still, I've been turned off on all gaming laptops in spite of the temptation they provide. I once tried to buy an Eluktronics gaming laptop after reading good reviews from them, but after a botched purchase attempt, I decided to skip it and go with a used HP ProBook 4540s which had Radeon and Intel graphics, unbeknownst to the seller.

However, what really turned me off on gaming laptops is when I attempted to repair my son's MSI gaming laptop's keyboard. What a nightmare! I basically had to remove everything to get to the keyboard, and even then I wasn't able to replace the keyboard because the board with the ribbon was glued on. From that point forward, I decided I'd go with a gaming desktop in the future and stick with laptops that are more serviceable, something like the Framework. Buyer beware!
