This gaming laptop screams premium! I didn't buy it from here because I found a retailer selling it at 1.39 lac which is a way better deal I think although the price in India is a bit too steep since this costs around 1599USD which is around 1 lac. Getting back to the laptop, it does have a few cons, like the battery life, it takes a whole lot of time to charge(almost 2 hours or more) and dispenses easily too (90 mins to 2 hours/1 hour if gaming), this could have been enhanced had they not included an optical drive on this laptop. Ergo it is not a very portable laptop but who needs one for gaming right? The only other thing that I didn't like and is mediocre is the touchpad, it looks very nice but it is made of plastic which is textured to match the brushed metal of the palm rest. There is a lot of friction going side to side which is weird and you will not get used to it either.

I must say the screen is downright gorgeous! 1080p, matte finish. great viewing angles, good color accuracy. I also checked out some videos on youtube on 4K, the playback was smooth and video quality was stellar. The FHD screen on this panel is more than enough, do not waste money on 15.6 inch 4K screens, can't imagine to get much better than this. This machine comes with a 256GB SSD and not 128GB as mentioned in the specs and it uses the Samsung NVME PCIE SSD which is a premium storage device by itself making boot time only 6 seconds. I've installed games that I play the most on this SSD since it has ample amount of space and the games just load so fast, it's amazing. It finally feels like the future is here indeed. I've also installed Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop on the SSD and the performance is excellent. Lets get to the keyboard now, it is premium and the chassis is aluminium with a moderately hard frame which feels good. Definitely not the best that I've used but very well designed and it is of good quality but it definitely has one the best lighting underneath that one can ask for on any keyboard, kudos to steelseries for designing this and it is very configurable too. The sound is decent and loud but that does not matter since most of us will be pairing this with headphones or external speakers. Lets get to the business end of this laptop now, the desktop equivalent GeForce 1060 GTX 6GB GDDR. This GPU is a beast and it handles all the latest games ever so smoothly at ultra settings. In game graphics are a treat for the eyes. The frame rates are good and this is excellently paired with the Skylake i7 6700HQ. I've run GTA V using up almost 5GB and it ran as smooth as velvet and it looked so darn real. Played doom on high settings, the frame rates were excellent, Black Ops II on high settings and it was as good, played Witcher 3 on moderately high setting and it was pretty smooth and definitely playable. The MSI Shift key added to keyboard is an excellent tool, it is like a gear which can put your laptop in overdrive and back to eco mode in one click. The keyboard panel also has some smart short cuts for controlling the fans inside which are just amazing at keeping the CPU and GPU cool during intense sessions. It is a bit loud but personally I like that, it does not hamper anything, it is audible, smooth, effective and is controlled at the touch of button which is just premium again!
