    Hey buddy, sorry to high jack your thread but I'm looking to buy a notebook for my best friend as a wedding gift and I'm looking for some information on the GX70 destroyer.

    I hear a lot of people talking about the CPU being slow and bottlenecks etc but I always prefer to hear from people that have actually used the product instead of speculations.

    My friend plays battlefield 4 and Diablo 3. Does this notebook have the horsepower to play these games problem free? How is the overall performance of this notebook? Is the bottleneck really such a big problem or is it mostly on paper? Thank you.
