    I bought this laptop from MSY in Sydney. It looks like an Ultrabook however has a high specification with Intel Core I7-4710HQ CPU, GTX 860M 4GB video graphic, 8GB DDR3 1600 RAM and 1TB SATA HDD. For a better performance, the first thing I do is add a 256GB SSD and an 8GB RAM in it. After setup the win 8.1 Pro, this laptop really gives me a top user experience.
    In terms of gaming, the hard ware can support most game with a good quality. As FIFA 15 is the only game I have now, I can only say it can run FIFA in the highest graphic quality and very fluent. Furthermore, the temperature of the computer is normally not too high when playing FIFA 15.
    This laptop has a 1080P IPS screen which has really high quality, and I believe it could be better to have a thinner rim.
    Moreover, it is very convenient to carry this computer to go out because itÂ’s thin body and light weight. The last thing I want do was to go to uni with my laptop before, but now it is no longer a problem for me.
    Unfortunately, the keyboard makes me feel a little disappointed. It feels like very cheap and easily broken. So it is necessary to buy a second keyboard for gaming or typing.
    And there are some tips for new users. Firstly, the first thing when you use this laptop should be make a backup of the Win7 OS with a USB device, so that you can change your OS anytime (Win8.1 is provided as a DVD in the box). Secondly, if you want to add a RAM, you may meet a similar situation as me: the first time after I put in my new RAM into the empty position of the laptop, it cannot get in to the OS. Then I tried to swap the original RAM and the new one, it works. If it still not work after you swap the two RAMs, please contact the support of GIGABYTE.
    There is a problem that I still do not know why. When I use the Sculpt Ergonomic mouse, if I put the USB receiver into a USB 2.0 port, it may not very smooth for moving (not in game). But if I put the receiver into a USB 3.0 port, the problem never showed, please tell me if you know why.
    This is my first time write a review on internet, and since English is not my first language it may have some mistakes and unclear express, please feel free to tell me.

    Thanks
