best desktop replacements laptops

Looks stylish, very bright/sharp monitor, huge touchpad that with one slide of the fingertip moves the cursor the whole length/width of the screen, sound is excellent with high volume potential, pretty light for its size, runs cool and speed of operation is fast.

I do have to say it is pretty big, but that is something I can live with when I am watching a Blu-ray and it is super crisp.

It will upconvert DVDs only and not blurays or so far as I can tell.

And with 16GB of RAM, you can more than play any game you want... I got it for work though, so I've been using it with autocad which has been amazing!

I was looking for the sweet spot of High Definition, gaming speed, large media storage and Blu-Ray playback.

I added an additional 4GB RAM to my machine and only have 8GB of RAM now.

The 2 things I changed on this laptop were upgraded the RAM to 8gb dual channel Corsair (NOT a necessary upgrade, but I did notice a slight improvement) and I also swapped the 640gb 5400RPM HDD for a 128gb SSD HDD which made a HUGE difference in speed, then I got a 2.5" HDD external case and put the 640gb drive in it for a storage drive.

Not as quick as the Solid State drive version I'm sure, and I foresee myself purchasing a Solid State hard drive at some point in the future for this beast, but overall, the performance has been more than acceptable in terms of both data and graphic processing power.

Having a blu-ray drive as well as HDMI is fantastic, as I can use this as a blu-ray player at home.
