Excellent machine for those who need a fast mobile workstation. I am using it for 3d rendering and compositing. Linux (Fedora 64bit) runs on it without major problems and features like the e-Sata port makes it possible to boot Windows7 from an external HD as dual boot or virtualized. I never checked the benchmark results but I can tell that heavy renders progress equally if not faster than high spec desktop machines. The cooling is also great and never had problems with overheating even after 2-3 days of non-stop 100% CPU usage. I personally like the design because it doesn't look like a colourful neon candy like some other laptops with similar specs. Finally.. I would definitely not call this a "gaming laptop" whatever that means it is a lot more than that.
