PC SPECIALIST Optimus VIII RS17-XT 17.3" Gaming Laptop - Black

 

Nice design,looks real nice out of the box, It's not as heavy as some machines of the same size are. The apps for fan speed are very handy as they more than assist with optimum cooling, it's easy to overclock as needed and it's got kick as well

Battery life and weight, but I was aware of these issues before I bought so not really a problem.
