On the back, you have two vents which blow out the hot air by two huge fans. Watching blu-ray movies on the Full HD SuperBright Plus display is very amazing with every detail you will notice. The sound from the 2 way Dolby Home Theater v4 surround sound system is loud, clear with no distortion and it is also customizable. Even though there is a sub-woofer built-in, the low end frequency is lacking.
While gaming, the battery is not sufficient for extreme games, you will notice a drop in frame rate. It is recommended to keep the ac adapter plugged in.
This is a great gaming laptop/desktop replacement. Not a laptop to carry around since it weights close to 9lbs. For a gaming laptop with all the great features, it is price at $1900.00 which is good deal.
