Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Very impressed with AMD's new CPU/GPU combo. Running SWTOR like a champ at decent settings (details and textures on high, bloom and shadows off, AA and AF low). The system is overall very fast and responsive. The design and aesthetics are pretty good all around. I would have preferred a matte screen over a glossy one but I knew that this one was glossy going in. The average user will be very happy with their purchase.
