We actually took the m9750 with us to our family’s holiday celebration, and the reaction from our family members was priceless. They couldn’t believe a notebook could be this big and powerful. Everyone was impressed by its looks and its performance, including us. This is a seriously powerful notebook but it does have a few drawbacks. The first is that its cooling fans are almost always on, and they are noticeably loud. The second is the videocards are already a bit dated, though they were able to play Bioshock and CoD4, albeit at a low resolution. If you order an m9750 we highly recommend upgrading to the 8700M for maximum longevity. Third, we had issues with the webcam and system restore, which is disappointing. All-in-all we had a better-than-average experience with the m9750 though, and despite its flaws we would still put it near the top of our list of must-have desktop replacement notebooks.


Pros:

• Great gaming performance
• Lots of storage
• Brilliant display 


Cons:

• GPUs are DX9
• Lots of fan noise
• Wonky webcam and system restore
