I am completely satisfied with my purchase. The computer runs great and is very capable. I purchased a Zalman-2000 cooler for it which is a great addition, since I run it all day. Runs cool and quiet. All in all am very pleased with Cyberpower. They were helpful over the telephone and the product was delivered on-time, at a great price. I will buy all of my computers from them and am looking forward to my next purchase.

Everything is working well. I had a problem with the DVD cover plate coming loose on the front side due to the plastic catch holding it to the main body not holding but fixed it with epoxy. I had ordered 3 day shiping but found out fed-x delivers in California within 2 days normaly and I paid $30 extra to have it delivered later than it normaly would have been. Please let people know not to pay for faster shiping if they are in California.

Hell of a great laptop. So far Pretty happy with everything. Pros: Amazingly Fast. This is my first experience with an i7 core and a good working copy of Vista x64. (Looking forward to seeing performance with Windows 7) I can pretty much throw anything at it and it will just run. Photoshop CS4 is a breeze when rendering 20MB oor higher image files Gaming with the GTX280 (installed) is pretty awesome. HL2, CSS, L4D, UT3, COD4, SIMS3, SF3 all run at respectable 60+ FPS frame rates at 1080i with some tweeking of the game setups. For some reason WIC is a little slow, and won't run at a healthy resolution but thems the brakes. I currently have this laptop connected to a 52" Samsung 120hz TV utilizing the HDMI out on the side of the laptop. I've yet to use the camera but it seems pretty nice so far. The ability to upgrade the proc to a Xeon 5800 series processor, swap out the video card, upgrade up to 12GB, and add up to 3 hard drives is VERY NICE. It's a great mobile platform that just does it all. Cons: HEAVY. I commute to work every day with this laptop on my back tucked away inside a CHROME messenger bag. The Bulky power supply demands desktop/floor space where it can breathe. The power brick can get very hot and I have a feeling I'm going to be ordering a replacement just in case. There's not ONE notebook sleeve that will fit this thing. Even custom made internet order-able sleeves seem to be under sized. Battery Life is terrible. If you buy this laptop expect under 1 hour of battery life. I don't even have the max amount of HDDs in the machine and I expect it to be quicker to die once those are installed. I approach the battery life more to the effect of when I need to move the unit from room to room. I don't expect to be on a plane or somewhere playing a game of CounterStrike or editing photos off of the battery. Now it's all not just piss and vinegar concerning battery life. You have to put into your head that you have the most capable mobile platform to run some seriously sick applications without breaking a sweat. That'll turn the frown up-side-down. HOT HOT HOT! this laptop runs HOT. Well DUH! It's an I7 with 3 7200 HDDs and a GTX280. Don't expect to let this thing sit on your lap without it starting to cook your thighs. I look forward to using this unit during the cold Chicago winter months though. Who'd have thunk a laptop would keep you warm? Well this one can double as a space heater. Tip: throw on a repeating 3DMark test, let her spin for a while, kick back and enjoy the warmth. Overall: This is a great unit and I am the envy of all my fellow geeks and friends. This laptop is something you buy, plop down at a board meeting or LAN party just to silently say, "I have the most powerful workstation in the room and you don't" It's a symbol, a monolith, a statement. It's an i7 laptop with butt-loads of kick-ass under the hood.

Awesome up to date notebook. Make sure you get a video input/output card.

One sweet machine. Fast and everything it is advertised to be and more. Some have knocked it for style points. I love the plain appearance. A beast lurks under that plain exterior. This machine is not for boys. Men only should dare to put it through it's paces.

Very well designed, Clevo does it again. Components were installed by Cyberpower well. Completely stable and running surprisingly cool.

This laptop is the fastest computer I have ever seen. Unbelievable. I use it for rendering 3D models in Zbrush and extensive photoshop usage. 8 CPU's.... enough said. I'm completely blown away by this monster system.

The system runs well and hasn't given me any problems what so ever. I was glad to see that the CD for the operating system and the drivers was all provided and was there for the user to install (this is big for a technical person because I like to know exactly what went on my system and by having me install the OS I was able to be confident I knew what was on my computer). There were only to slight issues. One the battery life is posted as being 3 hours when under a moderate workload the battery life is more in the ball park of 1 hour and 45 mins. The second is that the code needed for the Operating System is under the bottom of the computer which makes for quite the time entering it into the computer itself considering its relative size/weight for a laptop. However these are minor and expected things especially the lower battery life which is the result of having a desktop processor in the laptop instead of a mobile processor.
