    For those who own it, how well does it game? I've heard conflicting reviews, and I figured just a thread on it would be good.

    I understand that it has a GT650m, there's no need to quote benchmarks or whatnot. I'm just wondering, from people who actually use the machine, how is the gaming experience? Does the keyboard get hot with intensive gaming? Does the throttling actually affect gaming performance? Are the temps inside the machine good?

    Thanks!

    I have a Chronos 14 inch with the 630m and the achilles heel with gaming is the keyboard getting hot with gaming (around wasd what's more). The keyboard in that area is usually a dull warm but gets downright hot when gaming for a while. That being said it plays just about everything I throw at it at at least medium settings, I imagine the 17 inch would basically be a gaming desktop.
