CNET Review
The Good: Powerful desktop gaming performance; excellent service, support, and pricing policies.
The Bad: Poor speaker performance; fingerprint magnet; small keyboard and touch pad for a gigantic notebook.
The Bottom Line: If you're ready to give up your gaming desktop once and for all, consider replacing it with the Malibal Veda series laptop.
